Shasta High Voltage Power Supply Introduction This document provides the information required to operate the Shasta series power supplies safely and within the limits of the specification. It must be read in full before any attempt is made to operate the power supply.
Shasta High Voltage Power Supply Shasta Power Supply Overview The Shasta power supply series is designed to be used as a grounded cathode X-ray tube power driver. It contains the power supply stages (HV, filament and optional grid) and the control circuitry necessary to the supply and control of an X-ray tube.
If you do not fully understand the information given in the handbook do not use the power supply. Contact Oxford Instruments or an authorized agent for advice. Safety Guidelines This power supply is capable of producing hazardous voltages, which under some circumstances may be fatal.
Oxford Instruments or to an Oxford Instruments authorized service center for repair. 11) Do not use the power supply if it is damaged. Return to Oxford Instruments, or to an Oxford Instruments authorized service center for examination.

User Manual Issue 02 February 2015 Shasta User Manual Shasta High Voltage Power Supply Grid Voltage Output Type: Voltage source Voltage: -300V Output Current: 0.25mA, (short circuit current 2-4mA) Polarity: Negative Ripple voltage: <300mV peak to peak <2%, 10kΩ Output Impedance...
The input range for these analog inputs is 0.0V to 10.0V. NOTE: The Shasta supply provides a stable +10.0V reference on pin 1 of J5 that can be used as the high end for the host’s analog outputs. Use of this reference voltage is recommended, but not required.
3. Adjust the Grid Bias via the ‘Bias Adj’ potentiometer on the front of the unit to the optimal value provided by Oxford Instruments (see note below). The Grid Bias may be measured directly between J2 pin 3 (Grid Bias) and J3 pin 2 (Filament Return).
