    115 V. To operate on 230 V, the line switch and fuse must be changed. See Section 5.1: Fuse Replacement. Do Not Open Housing! The HVA200 has no user-serviceable parts. Service should only be performed by trained service personnel. 18014-D02 Rev E, Sept. 3, 2019 Page 3...
  • Page 4: Part 2. Product Overview

    An adjustable bias allows for precise DC offset control. The HVA200 uses a high voltage, wideband, high slew rate output amplifier to achieve an output range of ±200 V at a bandwidth up to 1 MHz. The input amplifier includes a summing junction which allows an adjustable DC bias to be added to the input modulation.
