Product Overview
Used, clean, and in good overall condition.
Testing has been performed to verify the correct output. The internal meter reads a bit high but is accurate to the adjustment dial setting. The output was linear with the dial adjustment throughout the range up to 5000V. It is currently set internally for positive voltage operation.
Note that the two lock-down screws for securing it in a NIM Bin crate are not present, but it should still work just fine.
The Ortec 459 is a NIM (Nuclear Instrumentation Module) bin module that functions as a high voltage bias supply for detectors used in nuclear and particle physics experiments.
The Ortec 459 can supply a bias voltage from 0 to 5 kV (5000 volts).
Module Type:
It is designed as a standard NIM bin plug-in module, allowing it to be easily integrated into NIM bin systems commonly used in physics research setups.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of this module is to provide a stable, adjustable high voltage bias for various types of radiation detectors, such as photomultiplier tubes, semiconductor detectors, and ionization chambers.
Precision:
As a high-quality research instrument, the Ortec 459 offers precise voltage control and stability, which is crucial for accurate detector operation and measurements. Brand:
Ortec is a well-known and respected manufacturer of nuclear instrumentation, including NIM modules and other scientific equipment.
