  • Page 6: General Safety Precautions

    To avoid electric shock, fire hazard, or damage to the product, do not apply a voltage to any input outside of its specified range. Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Electrostatic discharges may result in damage to the SIB064B. For these reasons, the SIB064B board is intended to be operated in a user’s conductive instrument enclosure. Do Not Operate in Wet or Damp Conditions To avoid electric shock or damage to the product, do not operate in wet or damp conditions.

    PhotoniQ on a high voltage cable to a dedicated connector on the SIB064B. For applications utilizing the last dynode output of the PMT, the SIB064B includes a two stage high speed preamplifier whose output is available on an SMB connector. When specialized timing and triggering are required, this output can be connected to a separate external discriminator and triggering electronics.

  • Page 11: Typical Setup

    SIB064B and PhotoniQ include a high voltage cable that provides up to 1400 volts of negative bias to the H12700B cathode, and a trigger cable that supplies the trigger to the PhotoniQ from one of the SIB064B’s two discriminators. In an alternative configuration when precision timing or coincidence detection is required, an external discriminator with coincidence logic can be placed between the SIB064B preamplifier output and the PhotoniQ trigger input.
  • Page 12: Photomultiplier Tube Anode Circuits

    Photomultiplier Tube Anode Circuits The 64 anode signals (P1 – P64) from the PMT are routed directly on the SIB064B to two specialized connectors referred to as sensor interface board (SIB) connectors. Anodes P1 to P32 route to SIB connector J1 and anodes P33 to P64 route to SIB connector J2.
