5 Model IIC-200 Image Intensifier Controller Introduct ion The IIC-200 is a stand-alone image intensifier controller. It supplies high-voltage DC bias for Princeton Instruments image intensifiers plus circuitry to facilitate gating. Gating pulses are provided by a Princeton Instruments high voltage pulser.
6 Model IIC-200 Operation Manual Version 1.A The IIC-200 allows both Shutter and Gated modes of operation. Gating pulses can range from 5 nsec to DC. Longer gate experiments can also use the 5 volt logic electronic shutter control. Danger s and Warnings Voltages inside the IIC-200 may exceed 10,000 volts.
Version 1.A Model IIC-200 Operation Manual 7 Note: The Model IIC-200 has automatic circuitry to help prevent damage. However, it is far better not to place an expensive intensifier at risk than to depend on the protection circuitry. Features Independently variable MCP power supply, independent of phosphor voltage.
8 Model IIC-200 Operation Manual Version 1.A Front Pane l Feature s MCP GA IN: This adjustment is used to control the gain of the MCP by controlling the voltage across it. Display units are arbitrary. SHUTTER/GATE: This switch selects between Gate mode or Shutter mode.
Version 1.A Model IIC-200 Operation Manual 9 The plug on the line cord supplied with the system should be compatible with the line-voltage outlets in common use in the region to which the system is shipped.
10 Model IIC-200 Operation Manual Version 1.A Hardware O verview The IIC-200 consists of a printed circuit board and a modular high voltage supply which are mounted in a stand-alone chassis. The IIC-200 contains circuitry for the following functions: A variable high voltage power supply for the MCP voltage.
Version 1.A Model IIC-200 Operation Manual 11 Shutter circuitry which allows an electrically isolated logic signal to control the voltage between the Photocathode and MCP In. This allows long gate times or C W operation. Operatio n ➧ Review the Danger and Warning notices on page 6 before operating the IIC-200.
12 Model IIC-200 Operation Manual Version 1.A Connections with a Gen IV I ntensi fi er ➧ Connect one end of the high-voltage cable supplied by Roper Scientific to the high-voltage connector on the image intensifier. If you have purchased more than one image intensifier, make sure you are using the cable supplied with this intensifier.
Version 1.A Model IIC-200 Operation Manual 13 Power Up Steps ➧ Make sure the front-panel MCP Power switch is O ff. Adjust MCP G ain to minimum and turn on the chassis power.
14 Model IIC-200 Operation Manual Version 1.A Scientific highly recommends updating old units at the user’s earliest convenience. Contact the factory for details. Connecting the wrong cable at both ends can result in non-functioning of the image intensifier.
15 Warranty & Service Warranty This equipment is warranted to be free from defects of material and workmanship. It is sold subject to the mutual agreement that the liability of Roper Scientific is.
