    Everything You Need in One Compact Package
    2BY2 or 3BY3 is a complete NaI(Tl) probe, ready to go to work in your application. Each models contains a NaI(Tl) crystal (2" x 2" or3" x 3") with photomultiplier tube (PMT) and a PMT base with integral preamplifier and HV supply securely encased in a compact aluminum housing.

    Ultra Low Power; the End of Bulky, External, HV Supplies
    The model 296 ScintiPack PMT base includes a low-power, adjustable high-voltage supply, an active bias network, and a charge-sensing preamplifier. Incorporating the bias supply in the PMT base eliminates high voltage cable connections to bulky, external, HV supplies.The ACTIVE bias network permits high-rate operation with minimal peak shift. ScintiPack’s ultra-low power consumption (240 mW) makes it attractive for portable applications.

    Single-Cable Operation
    A single cable supplies power to the preamplifier and the HV supply as well as the signal out of the preamplifier. For the "-DD"versions, the connection is direct to the digiDART or digiDART-LF (also other ORTEC DSP spectrometers).An optional break-out cable can be used with the model 2BY2 or 3BY3 should you want the signal on a BNC output connector.

    Power Required
    		 2BY2 or 3BY3 +12 V at 20 mA. Supplied via a captive power cord terminated in a standard preamplifier power plug (9-pin D connector). Power cord length is nominally 3 m or 10 ft. The preamplifier power plug is compatible with standard preamplifier power connectors provided on most nuclear spectroscopy amplifiers. The preamplifier output signal is delivered on pin-3 of the connector. An optional signal break-out adapter is available for extracting the preamplifier output signal at the power connector. 2BY22-DD or 3BY3-DD Power is provided by the digiDART or digiDART-LF.

    296-ADAPT
    		Signal Break-Out Adapter. Connects to the end of the power cable of the 2BY2 or 3BY3 and separates the preamplifier signal cable from the preamplifier power cable. The adapter 9-pin D connector plugs into the standard preamplifier power connector on the rear of most spectroscopy amplifiers. The 60 cm preamplifier signal cable from the adapter terminates in a male BNC connector for connection to the input of a spectroscopy amplifier.
    C-24-12 93 Ω, Coaxial Cable connects the preamplifier output to an amplifier input.
