Overview Functional description The Mod. A1539, AG539, A154X, AG54X is a family of HV boards, available with either positive or negative polarity, compatible with the CAEN Universal Multichannel Power Supply System (SYx527). The A1539, A154x channels share a common floating return, which allows on-detector grounding reducing the noise level;...
Shield - Return Connects Shield to HV channels return JA (A15xxD): Jumper connector; short circuit: connect FAGND (Earth) and AGND (CH rtn). See below for JA location. Fig. 3 – JA jumper location A1539, AG539, A154X, AG54X Power Supply Boards...
Installation The Mod. A1539, AG539, A154X, AG54X are SYx527 boards. At power ON the SYSTEM, the processor will scan all the slots in the crate to find out where the module is plugged and what kind of module it is.

For details on SYSTEM operation, please refer to the User's Manual of this product. The following sections contain a description of commands available for the board control and status monitoring.
UNV is also reported when Hvmax limit is reached, it is up to the User to verify that VMON value does not exceed HVMAX. EXTTRIP and INTTRIP parameters are expressed in Hexadecimal format A1539, AG539, A154X, AG54X Power Supply Boards...
Return and Shield connections even if not present or performed incorrectly, due to protection circuits implemented on the A1539 - A154X are bound to Earth; in this case the voltage difference between return and Earth (System), shield and Earth is limited to approximately 50V. Please note that this is a status of emergency-protection, not a working one.
