Atec Solar-9410-1 - Manual

Solar Type 9410-1 High
Voltage 40dB Attenuator.
TYPE 9410-1 HIGH VOLTAGE ATTENUATOR
INSTRUCTIONS
1. The Type 9410-1 is a special purpose attenuator designed to attenuate very short duration,
high voltage and relatively low duty cycle pulses. Usually the most important attenuator
characteristic is power after attenuation rating in watts. For this attenuator, it is voltage rating.

* dc to 100 MHz, + 0.5 dB; 100 MHz to 1 GHz , + 3 dB;
3. The high voltage source should only be connected to the INPUT end of attenuator. The
OUTPUT connector is not protected for high voltage pulses and will only withstand 250 volts
and 0.25 watts average.
4. Each high voltage attenuator is serialized and calibrated. A graph of attenuation in dB vs
frequency (300 kHz to 1 GHz) taken in a 50 ohm system is supplied with each attenuator.
