Page 7: General Safety Precautions
General Safety Precautions Warning – High Voltages The TPC100AM is mounted to the main board of a Vertilon PhotoniQ multi-channel PMT data acquisition system. This board assembly connects to a Sensor Interface Board (SIB) through a high voltage cable. The TPC100AM, PhotoniQ, Sensor Interface Board, and sensor power cable are energized with potentially harmful high voltages (up to 2000 Volts) during operation. -
Page 8: Product Overview
Several user adjustments are included for setting preamp bias, system gain, trigger thresholds, and operational modes. Used in conjunction with a Vertilon PhotoniQ multi-channel PMT data acquisition system, all electrical and mechanical connectivity to the TPC100AM is established through the PhotoniQ daughtercard expansion interface connector. -
