    Description Chapter 1.1 Description The Model 5402 is a low noise current input preamplifier designed for use whenever the signal source is a current source - for example, an electron multiplier, ion collector, photo multiplier, or photodiode. The gain (transimpedance) is switch selectable with six settings enabling the amplifier, on its most sensitive range, to detect fractions of a picoamp without noise degradation.

    Initial Checks Chapter 2.1 Introduction The following procedure is provided to facilitate initial performance checking of the Model 5402. In general, the procedure should be performed after inspecting the unit for shipping damage (any noted to be reported to the carrier and to SIGNAL RECOVERY), but before using it experimentally.
