659 5-kV Radiation Detector Bias Supply
- Bias voltage for germanium and silicon detectors
- 0–5 kV or 0–500 V at 0–100 µA
Remote shutdown feature compatible with ORTEC and TTL outputs from warmup sensors on germanium detectors - Reset safety feature on remote shutdown minimizes risk of preamplifier FET damage
- Selected output polarity indicated before bias voltage is turned on
- Automatic overload protection and overload indicator
The ORTEC Model 659 5-kV Detector Bias Supply furnishes bias voltage for germanium detectors, silicon detectors, or ionization chambers. It can be used with any detector that draws less than 100 µA of current, and whose gain is insensitive to the applied voltage.
