Do not place the generator in any place where it may become wet. Place the generator on a stable surface. If you encounter any technical problem with the generator, please contact Megaimpulse Ltd. Do not try to repair the generator by yourself. MEGAIMPULSE LTD.
PACKAGE CONTENT Please check the package for the following items: NPG-20/3500 (positive polarity) or NPG-20/3500 (negative polarity) nanosecond pulse generator (hereinafter "generator") Power supply cable High voltage output coaxial cable User manual Fig.1. General view of NPG-20/3500 nanosecond pulse generator.
The typical output pulse waveform is shown in Fig.2. Fig.2. Typical output pulse waveform of NPG-20/3500 on matched 50 Ohm load. Amplitude knob is in max position. The generator is designed for operation with 50 Ohm impedance load only, for example properly made antenna.
Generator power supply AC 110-230V / 50-60 Hz Size 248 х 90 х 250 mm Weight 4 kg Ordering: NPG-20/3500 – generator with positive output pulse polarity NPG-20/3500N – generator with negative output pulse polarity NPG-20/3500 and NPG-20/3500N User manual...
Unscrew the cable connector; there should be no ozone or burnt smell from the cable connector, even a little, or any burnt traces. Please do not connect and disconnect the high voltage connectors many times to prevent the contacts from wearing. NPG-20/3500 and NPG-20/3500N User manual...

ENABLE pulse. For example, 10 ms duration external ENABLE pulse applied to BNC SYNC IN connector (6), and 1 kHz set frequency result in 10 output pulses burst. NPG-20/3500 and NPG-20/3500N User manual...
OVERHEAT MODE NPG-20/3500 (NPG-20/3500N) generator has 50 Ohm impedance coaxial output connector and 50 Ohm impedance output cable. If the generator operates on an unmatched load with an impedance not exactly equal to 50 Ohm, then part of the pulse energy inevitably reflects from the load, returns back to the generator, and dissipates in it.

The internal delay from the front of the triggering pulse to the high voltage output pulse is about 1 µs. NPG-20/3500 and NPG-20/3500N User manual...
