Overview

The CAEN Mod. A1592 is a single width board (5 TE wide) that houses 8 independent high voltage channels equipped with SHV connectors.

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.

The HV channels share a common floating return, which allows on-detector grounding reducing the noise level; the floating return is insulated from the crate earth up to ±50 V (with 65 V hardware limit). The HV ramp-up and ramp-down rates may be selected, for each channel, in the 1 ÷ 500 V/s range (1 V/s step).

The board is available with either positive, negative or mixed output polarity. The Mixed version comes with 4 positive and 4 negative channels. The output voltage range is 0 ÷ 9 kV, with 200 mV monitor resolution. The output channels offer dual current ranges (software selectable):

High Power: 0 ÷ 200 µA I set resolution: 4 nA I mon resolution: 1 nA
High Resolution: 0 ÷ 20 μA I set resolution: 4 nA I mon resolution: 50 pA

Independently programmable for each channel:

Output voltage
0 ÷ 9 kV step: 200 mV
Current limit 0 ÷ 200 μA step: 4 nA
V Ramp up/down
1 ÷ 500 V/sec step: 1 V/sec
TRIP parameter 0 ÷ 999.9 s; 1000 s = Infinite step: 0.1 s

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.
Remote Enable/Disable front panel independent contacts available for all channels.
Overcurrent detection when a channel attempts to exceed the programmed current limit, it signalled to be in “overcurrent” and enter in a TRIP status. The output voltage is varied to keep the current below the programmed limit for a programmable TRIP time, then the channel is switched off. If TRIP is set to “constant current mode”, the channel behaves like a current generator.
Hardware VMAX
maximum output voltage can be set, via front panel potentiometer, at the same common value for all the board channels. VMAX value can be read out via software.
