About this manual
This user manual is an integral part of the
Falco Systems WMA-200 high voltage
amplifier product. Please read it carefully
and pay attention to the recommendations
and instructions for safe use.
The WMA-200 high voltage
amplifier: getting started
The Falco Systems WMA-200 model is a
high quality, high voltage, linear laboratory
amplifier
optimized
for
experiments
requiring world-class, ultra-low output
noise. The excellent noise performance,
combined with the wide bandwidth and
large voltage range make this amplifier the
preferred choice for the most demanding
precision
positioning
systems.
The
amplifier will routinely enable sub-atomic
positioning
resolution
with
piezo
positioning systems and MEMS
devices,
and is the ultimate ultra low noise driver
for
EO-modulators,
(particle)
beam
steering, ultrasonics, dielectric studies,
and many other loads requiring a high
voltage drive. The WMA-200 amplifier is
available in a 115V mains voltage version
and a 230V version.
The output noise level of the high voltage
amplifier is only ~50
µ
V
rms
with its standard
large signal bandwidth of DC – 100kHz.
For even lower noise in experiments
where this large bandwidth is not required,
a
capacitive load box can be ordered
separately from Falco Systems for use
