Model 257 H.V. Power Supply

MODEL 257 H.V. POWER SUPPLY
  • 2kV or 200V Output Range, Internally Selectable
  • Digital Volt/Current Meter with Front Panel Switch
  • Front Panel Polarity and Current Limit Indicators
  • Overload and Short Circuit Protection

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Model 257 High Voltage Power Supply provides up to 2mA of current over the voltage range of 0V to 2kV with low ripple and excellent regulation. Output current capability is sufficient for most photomultiplier tubes, and any detector requiring less than 2kV and 2mA can be accommodated. For applications requiring less than 200V and/or 20µA the supply can be reconfigured by the user for optimal performance over these ranges. A front panel 10-turn potentiometer and digital voltmeter allow precise voltage adjustment, and the output can be enabled or disabled with a front panel on/off switch or via a rear panel logic input. The supply does not generate audible noise.

SPECIFICATIONS

 

Voltage Range: 0 to 2000V or 0 to 200V (selected with internal jumper plug).
Current Range: 0 to 2mA or 0 to 20µA (selected with internal jumper plug).
Polarity Selection: Internal Jumper Plug.
Resetability: 0.1% of voltage range, 10 turn duo dial.
Regulation: .001% of range, powered by NIM Std. bin supply.
Ripple and Noise: 2mV Peak to Peak at 1mA load. Approx. 3mV Peak to Peak at 2mA load.
Temperature Stability: .01%/°C
Time Stability: .01% per hour but not greater than .02% per 8 hour period after 30 minute warmup.
Overload Protection: Supply will withstand a continuous short circuit, output current is limited at about 10% overrange.
Voltmeter: Accuracy 0.2% + 1 digit (18° - 28°C). 0.5% + 1 digit (0° - 50°C). Resolution .05% of range.
Current Meter: Accuracy 3% + 1 digit. Resolution .05% of range.
HV Inhibit: Real Panel BNC input, < + 1.5V shuts down H.V. output to 0V (driver must sink 1mA), > + 3V (or open circuit) restores output.
Operating Temperature: 0 to 50°C.
Output Connector: Rear panel MHV
Cable Supplied: 6 ft. High Voltage cable, MHV to MHV (186306-72).
