  • Page 7: 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 SIB064. For these reasons, the SIB064 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 SIB064. For applications utilizing the last dynode output of the H8500D, the SIB064 includes a two stage high speed preamplifier whose output is available on an SMB connector. When critical timing and triggering are required, this output can be connected to a separate high performance external discriminator.

    SIB064 and PhotoniQ include a high voltage cable that provides up to 1400 volts of negative bias to the H8500D cathode, and a trigger cable that supplies the trigger to the PhotoniQ from one of the SIB064’s three discriminators.
  • Page 13: Photomultiplier Tube Anode Circuits

    Photomultiplier Tube Anode Circuits The 64 anode signals (P1 – P64) from the H8500D PMT are routed directly on the SIB064 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.

    ), the CFD can be made to trigger at any reasonable percentage of the pulse height maximum. The SIB064 ships with a standard fixed delay of 5 nsec (other delays of up to 10 nsec can be ordered separately) and seven preset fractions from 0.12 to 0.50 that are selectable using an on-board micro-rotary switch (SW2).
