Preamplifier SHP (built in detector capsule) with cooled FET and resistive feedback
- Preamplifier power supply is ±12 V with 9 pin connector compatible with NIM standards
- TTL signal to shut down the HV:
- detector warm -0V;
- detector cold: +5V
- HV INHIBIT – BNC
- Preamplifier and High voltage filter included
- Automatic high-voltage shutdown to protect preamplifier input FET
2 LEDs on the separate cable end from preamplifier:
- GREEN – detector is cooled down
- RED – high count rate
Cable connectors:
- 9 pin – PA Power supply;
- 11 SHV - detector bias power supply;
- BNC - signal output of detector
Indicator warns of excessive counting rate
