1 Introduction The MiniMCA MCA166-USB is a battery powered high performance 4K Multi-Channel Analyzer/Multi-Channel Scaler module comparable in its performance with laboratory grade MCA. High voltage supply for detector and preamplifier power suppl y are integrated as well as an internal amplifier and pulse shaping net work. Together with a small d[...]

MCA 166- USB 2 Hardware 2.1 Users safety information Read all these instructions first! Save these instructions for later use. Do Not Remove Connectors To avoid personal injury or damage of equipment, do not remove the connectors for the High Voltage supply, preamplifier supply, and the input connector until the High Voltage is shut down and the de[...]

2.2.1 Power management The MCA166-USB works with a built in rechargeable Li-Ion battery, which has no memory effect and is deep discharge and short circuit protected. If the device is working, the remaining battery life time is permanently checked. W hen the battery voltage has dropped down to 6.8 Volts, while a data collection is in progress, the [...]

MCA 166- USB 2.2.3 Charging the MC A 166- USB Charging the MCAs battery is usually done by connecting the wall adapter to the ”Charger In” connector and power it from the mains supply. The wall adapter is able to deliver enough power to operate the MCA166-USB stationary under a maximum load condition (HV on, detector draws up to 2W preamplifier[...]

2.2.5 Connection of detectors To connect a detector switch the device off . Before connecting the high voltage connector of the detector make sure that the built in High Voltage supply has the correct polarity and that the power consumption of the detector does not exceed the maximum value ( 0.5mA or 0.25 Watt). On the right side of the MCA166-USB [...]

MCA 166- USB Typical errors which may be observed with the detector preamp signal are: ● Rise time is too slo w (>0.5 µs). This may cause that the pile up rejector does not work correctly. There may be even a large amount of regular pulses rejected and especially the high energetic part of the spectrum seriously affected. When using such dete[...]

5. The threshold of the spectrum seems to be much higher than expected. ● The input polarity may be wrong. Does the threshold depend on radioactive source and count rate? Try some other input polarity. ● P/Z may not be set correctly. Please check if P/Z is correctly adjusted. ● If the lower c utoff rises b y itself, this i s most probable cau[...]
