MCPD18 R104
3.2.2 Cabling and High Voltage
The general connection scheme of the detector is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Connection scheme of the MCPD18 R104
The detector holds two SHV connectors (labeled
“
MCP-B” and “MCP-F”) for the high voltage supply
and one BNC connector (labeled “SIG”) for the signal output. “MCP-B” connects the high voltage part
of the detector anode and the back side of the MCP stack while “MCP-F” connects the front side of
the MCP stack.
Be sure that all voltages are settled to zero before connecting the high voltage cables to
the detector, otherwise serious damage to the detector can occur due to high voltage
sparks.
