Features
The key features of the Model 2290-10 include:
•
High-voltage operation – Source voltages up to a maximum of 10 kilovolts (kV).
•
10 W power capability – Source currents up to 1 milliamps (mA) at 10 kV.
•
Ease of use – Digital displays and the keypad simplify setting the voltage and current parameters.
•
Programmable voltage limit – Voltage limit can be preset to ensure safe operation.
•
Programmable current limits – Current limit and trip point can be preset to prevent possible
equipment damage.
•
Monitor outputs – Provide 0 – 10 V signals that can be used to monitor the high-voltage output
and current.
•
External voltage control – Allows the high-voltage output value to be controlled with a 0 – 10 V
input signal.
•
Standard RS-232 and IEEE-488 interfaces – Allow the instrument to be remotely controlled by a
personal computer.
•
Safety interlock – Connections to an internal circuit that shuts down the high-voltage output when
an external circuit is opened. The external circuit would typically include a limit switch on a test
fixture door.
Unpacking and inspecting
Inspect for damage
Upon receiving the Model 2290-10, carefully unpack the unit, and inspect for any obvious signs of
physical damage that might have occurred during shipment. Notify the shipping agent of any damage
immediately.
