    50 Ω. The sync output pulse is synchronized to the leading edge of the output voltage pulse and is active with the external trigger. The PVX-4000-2kV includes a pulse generator and high voltage DC power supplies, providing you with a standalone test system that can be programmed to perform device testing using the front panel LCD controls or a computer interface (RS-232 and USB).

     Front Panel Features     Power LED The Power LED is lit when there is support power applied to the PVX-4000-2kV. Fault LED The Fault LED is lit when there is a fault/error sensed within the system. Enable LED...
  • Page 8 Enable Input The Enable BNC input accepts either an external dry-contact closure or the factory- supplied shorting BNC plug (PCA-9410).  Closed contacts or use of the shorting plug allows the output to be enabled. Less than 1000 Ω will allow the system to be enabled. ...

  • Page 9: Rear Panel Features

    The voltage output connector, a Winchester Kings 10 kV, 1065-2 plug, is the output connection for system-generated voltage pulses. DO NOT TOUCH any part of this output or cable while the PVX-4000-2kV is powered up and enabled. Please review the Safety section.

  • Page 10: Accessories Included

    Pulsed Output Cable The output cable (PCA-9400) is used to connect the PVX-4000-2kV to the load and is two meters in length. The factory supplied output cable has 1.57 pF / 1.0 cm of cable. This needs to be calculated into the total load value.

  • Page 11: Operating Considerations

    1.57 pF / 1.0 cm of cable. This needs to be calculated into the total load value.  Pulse Voltages The PVX-4000-2kV pulser is rated at a maximum pulse output voltage of ±2000 V DC. Proper precautions should be taken by the user to ensure that the maximum voltage is not exceeded.

  • Page 12: Local Operation

     Setup 1. Press the Enable button to disable the voltage output of the system. 2. The PVX-4000-2kV should be OFF for at least ten minutes when connecting or disconnecting the voltage output connector. 3. Connect the output to the load. Verify that the load polarity is correct. If necessary, review the output cable for polarity specifications.

  • Page 13: Set The Output Voltage

    1. Power up the system with the power switch on the rear panel of the PVX-4000- 2kV. The Power LED lights and the Fault LED blinks. The instrument boots up in about 3 seconds. 2. If there are no errors or faults, the Fault LED turns off. If there are errors or faults, the Fault LED lights without blinking after the system has booted.

  • Page 14: Set The Pulse Width

    1. Rotate the encoder knob to the Frequency screen. 2. Press the encoder knob to change the value of the frequency. 3. Rotate the encoder knob to change the value between 40 Hz to 30,000 Hz. 4. Press the encoder knob to change the multiplier value of the frequency. 5.

  • Page 15: Power Down

    2. Enable the PVX-4000-2kV unit by pressing the enable button. The green enable LED turns ON. Typically, the user must press the enable button for up to 2 seconds. 3. The PVX-4000-2kV is now sending high voltage pulses through the output connection.
