E-461.00
E-461.00 is a low cost amplifier for High Voltage PZTs. It can output a peak current of 0.5 mA and an average current of 0.3 mA. Because an operating current of only 80 mA @ 12 V is required, battery operation is possible. E-461.OE is the OEM version of the E-461.00 amplifier. The OEM module does not provide manual controls. All input connections are via 6 pins located on the bottom. The HV output is via a coaxial cable with LEMO connector (ERA.0A.250.CTL). The module is designed to be mounted on circuit boards. The electronics are totally encapsulated in a metal case. E-461.00 and E-461.OE can be operated in 2 ways:
- Single Channel Piezo Driver
- 12 V Battery or P/S Operation
- Output Voltage Range 10 to -1000 V
Output voltage can be set by a DC offset potentiometer (not supplied with E-461.OE) in the range of -10 to -1000 V.
- Manual operation
Output voltage is controlled by an analog signal in the range of 0 to 10 V, applied to the BNC input. Multiplying by the gain factor of -100, an output voltage range of -10 to -1000 V results. The DC offset potentiometer allows for a continuous variation of the input voltage range between 0 V to +10 V and -10 V to 0 V (click here).
- External operation
E-461.00 and E-461.OE are not equipped with active discharge circuitry but a 5 MW / 3.9 nF RC network. Therefore, Piezo discharge times will differ from charge times. If dynamic (> 1 Hz) Piezo operation is required, please refer to the E-463 or E-507 amplifiers.
