 The ORTEC Models 556 and 556H High-Voltage
Power Supplies provide the noise-free, well-regulated, very stable high voltage necessary
for proper operation of photomultipliers, ionization chambers, semiconductor detectors,
electron multipliers, and many other devices. The Model 556 is housed in a double-width
NIM module (per DOE/ER-0457T). The Model 556H is a stand-alone instrument designed for
bench-top operation. The low-noise output is continuously adjustable from ±10 to ±3000 V
dc with 0 to 10 mA load current. Noise on the output is <10 mV peak-to-peak, thereby
ensuring the highest performance in high-resolution, semiconductor or scintillation
spectroscopy systems.The front-panel digital meter allows visual
monitoring of either the output voltage or the output current.
The output voltage can be controlled from ±10
to ±3000 V by application of an external input voltage of 0 to ±6.9 V dc. This feature
is desirable for control applications and is standard on all units.
The input power for Models 556 and 556H is
taken directly from the ac line, either 115 or 230 V ac, 47 to 63 Hz.
Overload and short-circuit protection networks
permit operation into short circuits without damage to the instrument. ORDERING INFORMATION
