A light link coupled current monitor

  • 1. Beschleunigerlaboratorium der Univ. und Technischen Univ. Muenchen, Garching (Germany, F.R.)

Description

For small current monitoring in the dead sections and in the terminal of the Munich MP-Tandem a unit has been developed consisting of a battery operated current to frequency converter and a light emitting diode. The emitted light pulses are transmitted by a light pipe and converted to a signal suited for the display in the receiver. The operating range is from 100 pA to 70 μA (1 nA to 700μA optional) corresponding to a pulse frequency between 0.1 Hz and 70 kHz
