1.1 Overview Overview The SA-200F3 is an ultra-low-noise amplifier realizing equivalent input noise voltage density of 0.5 nV/ Hz. Furthermore, it has 100 times gain and a wide bandwidth (DC to 800 kHz) with keeping a low drift (0.2 µV/°C).
A2 is the other non-inverting amplifier composed of an OPamp. The gain of A1 is 50 times, and that of A2 is 2 times, so the total gain is 100 times (40 dB). Figure 1-1 Block diagram SA-200F3...

When you take the contents out of the box, check them. If you find a deep scratch or dent on the product or an accessory is missing, report the problem to the NF Corporation or one of our representatives.
・Stabilized DC power supply with ±15 V ±5 %, +15 V: +50 mA or higher, −15 V: −50 mA or higher (a switching power supply is not recommended). Attention This product will be damaged by reversely connecting the power supply. Supplying a voltage greater than ± 16.5 V will damage the internal circuits of this product. SA-200F3...
・Do not apply excessive force to the cable while the cable is connected to this product. The power supply pin of this product is easy to bend, and if strong force is applied, the pin may break (if it should be damaged, a repair fee will be charged). SA-200F3...
・Be sure to carefully reconfirm the polarity and voltage of the power supply. ・If the power supply is reversely connected or a voltage of higher than ±16.5 V is applied, the internal circuits will be damaged. ・Use a DC power supply that restricts the current to 150 mA. SA-200F3...

Four plastic screws are attached for factory shipment to protect the case. Remove them when attaching the bottom plate. The screw hole diameter for attaching the bottom plate is M3. Use the metal screws (M3 pan head screw with a 4 mm length) when attaching it. SA-200F3...
Do not connect this product to an AC outlet because doing so is dangerous. The signal GND and case have the same electric potential. Caution is required when giving a potential to the case or signal GND because doing so may cause electric shock. SA-200F3...
Also note that when the output current exceeds 10 mA, damage to the internal circuits and deterioration of the characteristics may occur. Warm-up Time When a highly accurate measurement is required, our recommendation is 20 minutes warm up before measurement. SA-200F3...
