Page 5: General Description
CAEN Electronic Instrumentation General description Overview Fig. 1: DT54xx USB High Voltage Power Supply The DT54xx series modules house one High Voltage Power Supply Channel (1 W max), available with either positive or negative output polarity. The units are supplied and controlled via USB link; HV output is delivered through SHV connector. The HV output RAMP‐UP and RAMP‐DOWN rates may be selected independently for each channel with 1 V/s steps. Safety features include: OVERVOLTAGE and UNDERVOLTAGE warning when the output voltage differs from the programmed value (±2%) Programmable VMAX hardware protection limit OVERCURRENT detection: if a channel tries to draw a current larger than its programmed limit, it is signalled to be in "overcurrent" and works as a current generator; output voltage varies in order to keep the output current lower than the programmed value. "Overcurrent" lasting more than set value (1 to 999 seconds) causes the channel to "trip". Output voltage will drop to zero either at the Ramp‐ down rate or at the fastest available rate, depending on Power Down setting; in both cases the ... -
