UV Source Power Supply UV40A-PS
For controlling the UV source UV40A1 in ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) applications.
Manufacturer
Prevac
Prevac are a world leader in the design and production of analytical and deposit scientific and research equipment. Their systems operate in a high and ultra high vacuum environment. They design and construct UHV and HV systems fully adapted to the individual requirements of research projects and industrial applications.

Description
The source can be automatically ignited directly from the power supply or manually on the source via a piezo-electric igniter. All adjustable parameters are clearly displayed on the large front-panel TFT and precisely controlled via digital encoders. The unit also features a built in timer and automatic standby mode. The UV40A-PS is supplied as a full width 19″ rack mounting unit (3U height). Easy firmware update via USB port. Unit can be remotely controlled via RS232/485 or Ethernet interfaces. Autosave function for saving your parameters/unit pre-set and applying them automatically after restart.
