photomultiplier bench top HV supply
HVLAB3000 data sheet
1 description
The HVLAB3000 is a programmable 3000V high stability, dc
power supply for laboratory and test applications, designedwith the photomultiplier user in mind. It has a small foot-print
and features a choice of positive or negative polarity. Additional+/-5V and +/-12V auxiliary outputs are provided for powering
associated electronics modules such as amplifiers and photon
counting instrumentation. Power input is 100V to 240V ac.
The output voltage can be set using three different methods:manually, using a ten-turn precision front-mounted
potentiometer, digitally via a USB port, or using an analogue
control input. Two power supplies can be controlled by theHVLAB3000 software.
The voltage setting is retained on switch-off and upper limits for
HV and current can be set manually via the rear panel
adjustment potentiometers using a small screwdriver(tamper proof). The current limit folds back the high voltage tolimit the current. The voltage limit is the same for both polarities
and the current limits are set individually for each polarity. Bothvoltage and current limits operate independently of the soft-set
control limits.
Adjustable brightness LED displays provide accurate readingsof the HV output voltage and current. The same displays
indicate the set maxima for HV and current by push button, as
selected by the user.
The USB control is compatible with the ET Enterprises
MCS-CT3 multi-channel scaler when used in photomultiplier
photon counting systems.
