EEL1500-1 User Manual V1.0
The High Voltage Amplier (HVA) model EEL1500-1 is specically designed
for the MacroFiberComposite™ (MFC).
The EEL1500-1 is a compact, high speed, 55 Watt High Voltage Amplier
capable of generating a -500 to +1500Vpp output @ +/-50mA with a large
signal bandwidth greater than 150kHz at -3db no load.
There are three LED indicators on the front panel signaling the following
conditions:
1. When the unit is powered on, the LED POWER ON illuminates,
2. When the high voltage is on (enabled), the LED HIGH VOLTAGE
illuminates,
3. If high voltage output goes into an Out-Of-Regulation condition (high
voltage output doesn’t match the input), the LED OUT OF REGULATION
illuminates.
The high voltage is turned ON by providing a TTL LOW to the HIGH
VOLTAGE ENABLE BNC on the rear panel, or by plugging the shorting cap to
the HIGH VOLTAGE ENABLE BNC.
A DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT1 turn potentiometer is provided on the front
panel to adjust for optimum square wave shape with varying capacitive
loads.
Two monitors are provided. The VOLTAGE MONITOR BNC represents
a 1:200 representation of the HIGH VOLTAGE OUTPUT. The CURRENT
MONITOR BNC represents a 1V to 5mA representation of the CURRENT
being drawn from the amplier.
