Never connect the detector when the high voltage is applied. Increase or decrease the high voltage only at a very slow rate. Observe the output of the CSP1X during bias voltage change with an oscilloscope. Do not allow the output to saturate during change of high voltage.

3.1. General This section describes the functions of the controls and connectors located on the front and rear panels of the Model CSP10...13. It is recommended that this section be read bevor proceeding with the operation of the preamplifier. 3.2. -
Page 10: Installation
Any capacitance added to the input of the preamplifier will increase the noise contribution and degrade the rise time performance of the Model CSP10…13. The capacitance should be minimized by using the shortest possible interconnecting cable between the detector and the preamplifier. -
Page 11: Operating Instructions
5.1. General The purpose of this section is to familiarize the user with the Model CSP10...13 Preamplifier and to check that the unit is operating correctly. Since it is difficult to determine the exact system configuration in which the unit will be used, explicit operating instructions cannot be given. - Page 12 Operating Instructions All of the many possible contributors to less than optimum performance cannot be listed here. The purpose of this section is to note the usual causes of loss of resolution, and to suggest curative steps. Do not expect to diagnose all problems with the detector, a preamplifier, a main amplifier, and a multichannel analyzer.

Page 13: Theory Of Operation
Figure 2 shows a simplified equivalent circuit diagram of the hybrid amplifier module used in the CSP10...13, which is a two stage amplifier. The first stage is high gain, and the second stage is low gain with an emphasis on supplying sufficient output current to drive a terminated coaxial cable. - Page 14 Theory of Operation- Detailed Circuit Description high voltage path with filter circuit and • power supply circuitry • ComTec GmbH...
