Figure 1: Connection scheme of the MCPD40 R006.
• 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 (via an internal resistor) 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.
