DEI PVM-4210 photomultiplier tubes. The exceptional pulse fidelity of the PVM-4210 will optimize the performance of any system in which it is used. The module provides two pulse output channels, controlled by a common control logic. When the control logic receives a gate signal, both channels pulse simultaneously. One channel pulses from ground to the positive high voltage, and the other channel pulses from ground to the negative high voltage. Therefore each output can be connected t

DEI PVM-4210 5.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING 1. Do not remove the input or output cables while the pulser is in operation. Never intentionally short-circuit the high voltage output of the pulser. Failure to observe these precautions can result in potential electric shock to personnel, arcing, and damage to the connectors and system. 4. Pulsed power systems are capable of random triggering via transients and therefore when the pulse generator is turned on, or high voltage is present

Monitor the voltage across the load, utilizing an appropriate high voltage probe or attenuator. 4. Apply +24VDC to +28VDC power to the module, and apply a TTL level power supply enable signal (or close the switch to connect pin 3 to pin 14 as described above). The module should produce positive and negative output pulses with an amplitude equal to the
