The CAEN Mod. N1471 provides 4 independent High Voltage channels in a single width NIM mechanics. Two and one channel versions (N1471A and N1471B) are also available. Each channel can provide a ±5.5kV / 300 µA output. 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 1В500 V/s in 1 V/s steps. The module features 5nA Iset/Imon resolution. A Zoom option (x 10) is available for Imon, increasing resolution to 500pA.

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.
Power supply control can be performed either locally, assisted by a Graphic color display or remotely, via USB, RS232 or RS485, the latter allowing to build a daisy chain network of modules N14XX. It is also controllable via TCP/IP by the Smart Fan Unit of CAEN NIM8301. A complete set of free software Tools is available to control this unit: GECO2020 with user friendly GUI and CAEN HV Wrapper library for custom SW development. EPICS and LabVIEW also supported.
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 NIM 8301 crate:
