Vernier Spectrum Tube Carousel Power Supply - Manual

Spectrum Tube—Carousel Power Supply
(Order Code ST-CAR)
Introduction
The Vernier Spectrum Tube Carousel Power Supply offers a considerable improvement in safety, convenience, and
tube life over conventional systems. It consists of a power supply and tube storage unit and a series of spectrum tubes
filled with various gases for spectral inspection and measurement.
The system is available in two versions, differing in the style of the power supply and storage unit. In the Single Tube
version, the power supply accommodates one tube and provision is made in the base for storage of up to six tubes. In
the Carousel version, up to eight tubes are loaded into the power supply’s tube carousel and the tube to be energized is
selected by rotating the carousel until the required tube reaches the energizing station.
The spectrum tubes in the Spectrum Tube System offer extended life by having no internal electrodes and are
protected against accidental breakage by a hard polymer shell. Both the Single Tube Power Supply and Carousel
Power Supply’s electrical parts are enclosed and a magnetic interlock system prevents application of the energizing
voltage to the tube contacts unless a tube is correctly inserted. In the Single Tube version, the height of the tube above
the bench can be adjusted to accommodate the differing heights of the inlet slits of the various models of spectrometer
in current use.
