WICHTIGE SICHERHEITSHINWEISE SICHERHEIT DIESES HOCHSPANNUNGSNETZTEIL ERZEUGT LEBENSGEFÄHRLICHE HOCHSPANNUNG. SEIN SIE SEHR VORSICHTIG BEI DER ARBEIT MIT DIESEM GERÄT. Das Hochspannungsnetzteil muß immer geerdet sein. Berühren Sie die Stecker des Netzteiles nur, wenn das Gerät ausgeschaltet ist und die elektrischen Kapazitäten des Netzteiles und der angeschlossenen Last entladen sind. Die internen Kapazitäten des Hochspannungsnetzteiles benötigen ca.

IMPORTANTI PRECAUZIONI DI SICUREZZA SICUREZZA QUESTO ALIMENTATORE GENERA TENSIONI CHE SONO PERICOLOSE E POTREBBERO ESSERE MORTALI. PONI ESTREMA CAUTELA QUANDO OPERI CON QUESO APPARECCHIO. Gli alimentatori ad alta tensione devono sempre essere collegati ad un impianto di terra. Non toccare le connessioni a meno che l’apparecchio sia stato spento e la capacità interna del carico e dell’alimentatore stesso siano scariche.

The Enable Input from the remote interface controls the HV ON and HV OFF status of the power supply by interfacing with the PWM circuitry.
A Hysteretic control circuit is employed providing improved performance. If The T Option offers the UM8-40 with an improved used for capacitor charging, a Spellman Capacitor temperature coefficient. The standard voltage feedback Charging Questionnaire should have been filled out to...
Options When modification requirements of standard units are beyond the scope of standard options a custom unit is created. To accurately capture the details Spellman creates a unique Specification Control Drawing. This drawing outlines all items (mechanical, electrical, etc) that differ from a standard unit. These units will be designated as an X numbered unit.
High voltage dividers for precise measurements of output voltage with accuracy up to 0.1% are available Periodic Servicing from Spellman. The HVD-100 is used for voltages up The UM8-40 product family does not require any to 100KV, the HVD-200 measures up to 200KV.
The Warranty is void if the unit is worked shipping prepaid. Pack the units carefully and securely in on by other than Spellman personnel. See the Warranty in a suitable container, preferably in the original container, if the rear of this manual for more information.
