3Description
The high voltage amplifier channel module HA05B2 with bipolar output voltage is designed to drive
capacitive and resistive-capacitive loads.
The amplifier channels are characterized by high accuracy, very high stability and very low noise.
High precision electrostatic deflection or multi channel high voltage reference source are typical
applications.
A version with extended bandwidth is available: HA05B2_BA.
Output voltages of -500V to +500V at load currents of up to ±2mA are provided. The signal gain is 50,
the input voltage range is -10V…+10V.
The output voltages of each channel can be controlled by a control voltage (IN) or by a 10-turn
potentiometer (SETPOINT). Each channel is equipped with a precision high-speed voltage monitor
output, current monitor output and an inhibit input.
The amplifier outputs are protected against overload, short circuit, and transient overvoltage.
The HA05B2 is a 3U plug-in card intended to be mounted in a suitable subrack.
The HAR2/HAR2-W mainframes accommodate up to 2 amplifier channel modules HA05B2.
HAR2 is a table top unit, HAR2-W is a wall-mount type.
The 19"/3U HAR12 mainframe accommodates up to 12 amplifier channel modules HA05B2.
It features internal power supplies, cooling fans and a common Interlock input for all channels.
All mainframes contain two DVMs and the high voltage converters to feed the HA05B2 amplifier
channel modules.
Both the output voltage and the load current of each channel can be displayed on the DVMs.
A switch (CHANNEL) is provided for selection of the channel to be measured.
The HAR12 is supplied by mains voltage. The HAR2 models are supplied by an external 24VDC.

3.2 Control Voltage Input
The control voltage input (IN) is connected to a differential amplifier to
suppress common mode voltages between the external signal source and
the amplifier. Two jumpers (W1, W2) are provided on each amplifier module
HA05B2 in order to adapt the control voltage input to the signal source.
W1 connects the input signal reference via 10Ωto the amplifier signal
ground. W2 adjusts the amplifier gain to the output impedance of the signal
source.
W1
1-2 Floating signal source
Common mode voltage <1VRMS
Default
2-3 Grounded signal source (connected to PE)
Common mode voltage <5VRMS
W2
1-2 Output impedance of signal source <1ΩDefault
2-3 Output impedance of signal source 50Ω
Alternatively, the control voltage can be generated by means of a 10-turn
potentiometer (SETPOINT). The potentiometer supplies –10 V at the CCW
end position (0) and +10 V at the CW end position (10). Zero position is at 5.
Switching between internal and external control voltage is achieved by a
front panel switch (MAN / REM).
3.3 Monitor Outputs
Two BNC monitor outputs (V-MON / I-MON) provide actual values of output voltage and output current,
both of which are normalized to ±10 V.
The monitor outputs receive their signal through a compensated voltage divider. Current
measurement takes place differentially across a sense resistor in the output line. Due to differential
measurement, a certain drift of the measured output current over temperature and output voltage is
inevitable (refer to technical specifications).
The frequency response of V-MON is linear up to well above the upper cut-off frequency of the
amplifiers.
The monitor outputs are buffered and short-circuit-proof. They are able to drive capacitive loads
(coaxial cables), but are not designed to drive cables with a low-impedance termination.

3.4 INHIBIT
Each high voltage amplifier channel can be remotely switched off through the INHIB input. The input is
TTL-compatible. A LOW-signal turns on the amplifier. In case of open input or HIGH-signal, the
amplifier is turned off. For manual operation, a 50ΩBNC-termination resistor can be used to statically
turn the amplifier channel on.
The Inhibit signal drives a semiconductor switch, short-circuiting the output (approx. 100Ω) within
microseconds. The switch conducts independently of the internal supply voltage, even after the device
is switched-off.
The INHIB input is not suitable to achieve a safe state at the amplifier output. It must not be used for
safety relevant purposes.
3.5 Loading Conditions
The amplifiers are designed to drive any combination of resistive and capacitive loads.
Full output voltage is available for resistive loads ≥250kΩ. When driving capacitive loads the reactive
current must be taken into consideration. This current into the load capacitance depends on the
capacitance value and the slew-rate: iCL = CL* dv / dt.
The effective load capacitance consists of the connected load capacitance, the capacitance of the
output cable, and the capacitance internal to the amplifier. If the output current exceeds the peak
current capability of the amplifier module (refer to the specifications), the output voltage will become
distorted.
In case of larger load capacitances overshoot of the output may occur.
The achievable large-signal bandwidth strongly depends on the capacitance of the connected load.
Particularly with regard to the high speed versions of the amplifier modules, the cable capacitance
may become the dominant part of load capacitance. One meter of typical coaxial cable has a
capacitance of about 100pF.
Large capacitive loads driven by high frequency signals may result in a DC-offset superimposed on the
output voltage. This occurs if the final value of the desired output voltage can not be reached
periodically.
No damage to the amplifier modules will result from the different conditions mentioned.

3.6 Interlock
The HAR12 mainframe incorporate an interlock circuit through which the supply voltage of the high
voltage sources is switched. The interlock circuit is not provided on the HAR2 mainframes.
The interlock signal is available via the rear connector INTERLOCK on the subrack. It is a closed
circuit (break contacts). Its source voltage is 24VDC . The source voltage is provided on the INTERLOCK
connector. The voltage source is protected against overload or short circuit.
To enable the high voltage generators, signal +24V_IL (INTERLOCK.2) and IL (INTERLOCK.3) must be
connected by a jumper or a contact. The contact can be part of an external interlock circuit. The
quiescent current is 12mA typ.
When the interlock circuit is closed, the high voltage sources are switched on.
The device must be disconnected from the power supply before carrying out any operations on the test
setup or before touching the output terminals.

5.14 Troubleshooting
If the device behaves unusual or erratic, please switch off the supply voltage and check the wiring of
the load and that of the control and monitoring signals. Check the connected load and the signal
source. Check the interlock circuit.
Do not attempt to locate any faults within the device. This can be dangerous to life due to the high
voltage used in the device. In such a case, please return the device to the manufacturer after
consultation.
Symptom Possible causes
Device will not turn on;
DVM displays will not light up
-No supply voltage present
-Fuses F1, F2 in the IEC inlet defective (HAR12S)
Output signal is distorted -Load capacitance too large for the desired slew rate
(see section 3.5 for load conditions)
Power supply and input signal
present but no output signal
-Examine the level of INHIB input signals
5.15 Maintenance
Depending on the cleanliness of the ambient air dust may accumulate within the unit possibly blocking
the airflow. In that case the accumulated dust has to be removed by taking out the amplifier modules
and blowing out the unit and the modules cautiously.
The manufacturer specified lifetime of the HAR12S fans is >50000h. After about 6 years of continuous
operation the fans might be replaced.
Type: Sunon MF60252V21000UA99
Caution: disconnect the unit from the power supply before removing any modules or opening any
covers.
Further regular maintenance is not required.
5.16 Cleaning
If necessary, wipe the device with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents or solvents.
