Imaging Telecom D A T A S H E E T Lighting Sensors Channel Photomultipliers and Modules MD Series CPM Modules Ultra High Sensitivity Gateable Channel Photomultiplier DC-Modules Description Features The Channel Photomultiplier DCModule series is designed for all low light applications e.g. in industries, life science or medical analysis, in high energy physics or pure research. · High dynamic range · No cooling required · Very high stability in noise level · Adjustable gain · Active quenching · Circuit for high light protection · Gateable CPM input (only Bialkali types) · Optical fiber read-out possible · 5 volts operating voltage · Monitor voltage output It is an easy to use module, containing the Channel Photomultiplier, a high voltage power supply, an amplifier with I/U conversion and an active quenching circuit for high light protection. It is also possible to apply an external gate function. Strong variations in light levels are possible due to the high dynamic range of the installed CPM. The exceptional low noise and high sensitivity facilitates detection of extremely low light levels. . w w w. p e r k i n e l m e r. c o m / o p t o Technical Specifications MD 900 Series 1/3” DC Photosensor Module *) Additional models on request Operating Conditions Supply voltage Supply current Settling time Over-illumination protection: Current to voltage conversion factor Output signal Output offset Gain 5 V dc < 280 mA < 1s (time to stabilize HV after supply voltage applied) active quenching control (internal) 1 V/ 20nA (other values on request) 0 ... 10 V dc **) ± 3mV up to 1 x 108, via internal potentiometer (or by external control voltage 0...3 V via ext.

Extreme care must be taken to ensure operator safety and to avoid damage to other instruments. Avoid direct contact with the entrance window of the built in CPM when high voltage is applied. Avoid placing conductive material close to the cathode. Ensure that no light levels are applied, generating higher anode currents than specified.
