Incorporates a thermoelectrically-cooled NMOS linear image sensor
C5964 series is a family of multichannel detectors developed for spectrophotometry in the UV to near infrared range (up to 1000 nm). C5964
series device incorporates a thermoelectrically-cooled NMOS linear image sensor (S5930/S5931/S8382/S8383 series), low noise driver/amplifier
circuit and highly stable temperature control circuit. It also operates from simple external signal inputs. The image sensor is cooled to a preset
temperature (Ts=0 ˚C) as soon as the power is turned on. Should the cooler fail and the device overheat, the built-in protection circuit
automatically shut off the power.
The housing is designed for compactness, yet offers good heart dissipation. Furthermore, mounting holes are provided on the front panel of the
housing, permitting easy connection to a monochromator or other instruments

MACHINE
Data processing unit C6536
●
C6536 data processing unit converts video signals from an NMOS
linear image sensor into 12 bit digital signals. C6536 consists of a
driving an image sensor. The signals from the NMOS linear image
sensor are converted into digital signals at high-speed and buffered
in the internal memory. By hand shaking between the internal
controller and the external computer, data can be transferred in
parallel according to the computer's speed.
● Interface board M7089
M7089 interface board is an I/O board designed for IBM PC/AT
compatible computers with an ISA bus slot. By inserting M7089 into
the internal ISA slot of an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, data can
be transferred between C6536 data processing unit and the PC.
This allows analyzing the output signal from an NMOS linear image
sensor on the PC or controlling the signal integration time of the
NMOS linear image sensor from the PC.
● Power supply
This power supply provides an NMOS linear image sensor and a
C6536 data processiong unit with the necessary power of +5 V and
±15 V.
● Interconnection cables
Various interconnection cables are provided for connecting a
multichannel
detector to peripheral units.
■ Handling precautions
C5964 series is a precision device, so use sufficient caution when handling it.
● Never disassemble or modify the device as this may cause an operating failure.
● Protect the device from shocks such as drops or impacts as these may cause breakage.
● Avoid storing the device in high temperature and high humidity locations for long periods of time.
● Never block the air vents provided on the top and side panels of this unit during operation. Blocking the air vents may cause
overheating.
● When connecting to other equipment, check that the electrical specifications are matched.
● Never exceed the maximum ratings during operation.
Observe the following precautions to obtain the fullest performance of device.
● Provide a proper shield to protect the device against external electromagnetic effects.
Use of a shield cable is recommended.
● Use a power supply with minimum ripple and noise.
● Pay attention to prevent extraneous light from entering the device for accurate measurements.
