Overview

The Mod. N470 is a double width NIM unit housing 4 independent High Voltage channels.
The output voltage ranges of each channel are the following:

- from 0 to ±3 kV / 3 mA;
- from ±3 kV to ±4 kV / 2 mA;
- from ±4 kV to ±8 kV / 1 mA.

The range selection is automatic, as the output voltage is set. The current resolution is 1 µA.
The output polarity is independently selectable for each channel.
It is possible on each channel to control several operating parameters: two levels of presettable high voltage, two levels of current limit, Ramp-up, Ramp-down. All these parameters can be programmed and monitored either in remote mode, via HIGH SPEED CAENET (either using the V288 VME controller or the A1303 PCI Bus controller), or in local mode, via front panel alphanumeric keypad and two 8-character displays. In addition some LEDs display the status of the selected channel.
All the functional parameters are stored in a non-volatile memory.
Front panel trimmers allow the setting of maximum voltage limits, and the two current and voltage limits can be selected via two external NIM/TTL signals. A NIM/TTL signal is also available for the KILL function, as well as a complete calibration menu.
The High Voltage output is provided by female SHV connectors.
