The CAEN Mod. N1470ET provides 4 independent High Voltage channels in a double width NIM mechanics. Each channel can provide a ±8 kV max voltage, a 3 mA max current and a 9 W max power (8 W max power when output voltage is larger than ±3 kV). 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. 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 50nA Iset/Imon resolution. Zoom (x 10) for Imon increases resolution to 5nA.

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.
Module control can take place either locally thanks to a 2.8″ Touchscreen Graphic color LCD display with a completely redesigned user interface or remotely, via USB 2.0 or Ethernet. A complete set of Software Tools is available to control these units; the user can freely download low level libraries, LabVIEW driver and Graphical application software.
Safety features allows the module to perform as a current generator and includes:
|
Overvoltage and Undervoltage warning |
when the output voltage differs from the programmed value by more than 2% of set value (minimum 10V). |
|
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. |
|
VMAX |
programmable VMAX 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 NIM8301 crate:
