Overview

The CAEN Mod. N1471H provides 4 independent High Voltage channels in a single width NIM mechanics. Two and one channel versions (N1471HA and N1471HB) are also available. Each channel can provide a ±5.5kV / 20 µA output. The output polarity is independently selectable for each channel.

Channels have common floating return (common return insulated from the crate ground); HV outputs are delivered through SHV connectors.

NIM single width, 4 channels for Mod. N1471H, N1471HA (2 Ch), N1471HB (1 Ch)

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.

The HV output Ramp-up and Ramp-down rates may be selected independently for each channel in the range 1÷500 V/s in 1 V/s steps. The module features 1nA Iset/Imon resolution. Zoom for Imon increases resolution to 50 pA. Power supply control can be performed either locally, assisted by a Graphic color display or remotely, via USB, RS232 or RS485, the latter allowing to build a daisy chain network of modules N14XX. It is also controllable via TCP/IP by the Smart Fan Unit of CAEN NIM8301.

A complete set of free software Tools is available to control this unit: GECO2020 with user friendly GUI and CAEN HV Wrapper library for custom SW development. EPICS and LabVIEW also supported.

Safety features allows the module to perform as a current generator and includes:

Channels
can be enabled or disabled through the Global Interlock logic.
Overvoltage and Undervoltage warning when the output voltage differs from the programmed value by more than 2% of set value (minimum 10V).
Overcurrent detection if a channel tries to draw a current larger than its programmed limit, it enters TRIP status, keeping the maximum allowed value for a programmable time (TRIP), before being switched off.
Hardware VMAX
programmable MAX protection limit.
Safety Board Interlock common Interlock logic for channels enable/disable and individual inputs signal for channel Kill function.

Module control can take place either locally, assisted by a Graphic colour display, or remotely, via USB (1) or RS485 (1). It is also controllable via TCP/IP (2) by the Smart Fan Unit of CAEN NIM 8301 crate:

Special versions available:

  • 2 channels version  (N1471HA)
  • 1 channel version (N1471HB)
  • 2U NIM module with 220/110 Vac plug for desktop operation equipped with 2.8″ Touchscreen, Ethernet and USB interface (NDT1471H)
  • 2U NIM module equipped with 2.8″ Touchscreen, Ethernet and USB interface (N1471HET)

Available Options:

  • A1480 DC Input Power Equalizer.

N14xx modules are provided with a USB VCP interface and can be programmed via PC by connecting the PC USB port with the N14xx USB B-type port; the featured controller (FT232BM chip) requires a driver available on this page or at www.ftdichip.com

LOW: < 1 V; current~5mA; HIGH: 4÷6 V

Ramp Up/Down

1÷500 Volt/s, 1 Volt/s step

Trip
  • Max. time an “overcurrent” can last (seconds). A channel in “overcurrent” works as a current generator; output voltage varies in order to keep the output current lower than the programmed value.
  • “Overcurrent” lasting more than set value (1 to 9999) causes the channel to “trip”.
  • Output voltage will drop to zero either at the Ramp-down rate or at the fastest available rate, depending on Power Down setting; in both cases the channel is put in the OFF state.
  • Trip range: 0 ÷ 999.9 s; 1000 s = INFINITE. Step = 0.1 s (If trip= INFINITE, “overcurrent” lasts indefinitely).
