60 W, 500 mA Flashlamp Simmer Supply

Model 864A Flashlamp Simmer Supply

Model 864A Simmer SupplyThe Model 864A Simmer Supply is designed to strike and maintain a low-level current discharge in flashlamps.  Initially, the simmer output open circuit voltage rises to a stabilized 1500 V.  The simmer trigger output provides an SCR discharge of 520 V at 63 mJ to drive a trigger transformer.  When the lamp is struck, the trigger pulses are inhibited and the supply provides a constant current to the flashlamp.  Immediately after PFN discharge, the current is boosted automatically to maintain the arc.  An external ballast is not normally required.

Model 755A-04.1

Hybrid eyesafe laser rangefinder receiver is designed for laser rangefinding & surveying equipment. Compact construction is ideal for miniature applications. Fast recovery from To overload allows ranging to close objects without compromising long range performance. The incorporation of an InGaAs APD gives very high sensitivity with time programmed gain to minimize false targets. Operation at both 1.06 µm and 1.54 µm is possible over a wide range of pulse widths.
