4006 Minibin and Power Supply  (±6/±12/±24 V)
  • 4006-fp.jpg (30814 bytes)Accommodates up to 6 NIM-Standard modules with a compact 24 cm x 32 cm table-top footprint
  • Regulated dc power: ±6 V @ 4 A, ±12 V @ 1.5 A, ±24 V @ 0.75 A, and 120 V ac @ 0.5A
  • Overvoltage protection to avoid damage to +5-V and
    –5.2-V integrated circuits
  • 120 W of dc power at 23°C and 80 W up to 50°C
  • Short-circuit and overload protection accompanied by LED fault indicators
  • Operates from 100, 120, 220, or 240 V ac at 50 or 60 Hz
  • Two standard preamplifier power outlets
The compact Model 4006 Minibin and Power Supply is the ideal solution where a small number of NIM modules must be located close to the action in a measurement system. Its slim 24-cm x 32-cm footprint minimizes the space required on a table top. It can operate at full power while sitting on a solid surface, because rear intake and exhaust of cooling air eliminates the need to provide free air flow from below. The Model 4006 accommodates up to 6 standard, single-width NIM modules, or a proportionately smaller number of double-width modules. In addition to the standard ±24-V and ±12-V dc power, ±6 V is provided to serve the high-current demands of TTL and ECL logic used extensively in newer NIM modules. The full load of 0.75 A on both of the 24-V supplies, 1.5 A on both of the 12-V supplies, and 4 A on both of the 6-V supplies can be drawn at room temperature (23°C) for a total of 120 W dc power. A total load of 80 W dc can be driven at ambient temperatures up to 50°C. The standard 60 VA of 120 V ac is also available on the module power connectors, independent of the actual ac voltage applied to the main power cord. Two 9-pin D connectors on the rear panel provide a convenient source of ±6-V, ±12-V and ±24-V power for preamplifiers via the industry-standard preamplifier power plug.

Extensive protection is designed into the Model 4006 power supply. Crowbar circuits are included on the ±6-V power lines to protect TTL and ECL integrated circuits against overvoltage. All six of the dc power lines incorporate protective fold-back circuits that automatically reduce the output voltage in case of an excessive load current or a short circuit. Green LED indicators turn red when the supply voltage is reduced by an overload. The LEDs extinguish if the voltage is reduced to zero by a low-impedance short circuit. Thermal cut-out switches protect the power supply against excessive temperature. When the heat sink temperature is within 15°C of the maximum safe temperature, the red TEMP warning indicator turns on. When the maximum safe temperature is exceeded, all power to the unit is automatically turned off. Power is recovered automatically when the temperature is reduced below the safe limit. There are no hot, external heat sinks that can be accidentally touched. All heat sinks are internal to the unit and cooled by forced air. The ac power input is protected with a fuse, and the unit meets all CE requirements.

A power input module with the standard IEC connector and selectable 100, 120, 220 and 240 ac input voltages at 50 or 60 Hz makes the Model 4006 compatible with power cords and ac power outlets in virtually all countries.
