• EMP test and EMC conformance
• HIRF aircraft clearance
• Simulated lightning testing
• Impulse, time domain and NEMP testing
• Low and high level swept frequency coupling measurements

Sentinel 3 is designed to reduce setup time and maximize measurement certainty.

The 3U chassis is available in desktop and rack-mount format. The chassis accepts up to six single or dual receiver modules. Power and control distribution takes place via the chassis backplane. The unit also integrates battery charging.

• Bandwidth: 75Hz to 1GHz or 10MHz to 3GHz
• Three modes: super-low noise mode, high power mode and high impedance mode
• Increase sensitivity means lower test field strngth and reduced ERP
• 145dB/Hz instantaneous dynamic range
• Thermal compensation means calibrate only once for 0.25dB accuracy

Touch-screen System Controller

The wide, touch-screen controller displays link status, battery levels (including those on charge) and supports features such as:

• Remote gain control
• Remote power up/down of transmitters
• Automatic unit detection on startup
• System self-test

The controller also supports USB and Ethernet interfaces, allowing the system also to be controlled from a PC.

Ultra-compact Remote Transmitters

Sentinel 3 transmitters have been designed to support easier installation in tight spaces. The units have a volume of only 1.1litres and interchangeably accept robust, weatherproof optical connectors and standard LC optical connectors (for smaller size and reduced cable bend-radius).

Transmitters are available in either one or eight inputs.  The units are double-screened to maximise shielding effectiveness.  An integrated power detector enables automatic power tracking. Transmitters can be remotely controlled to perform such functions as:

• Verification of gain setting changes
• Link parameter modification
• Self-test / signal selection
• Link calibration
• Enter or exit sleep mode

Bi-directional communication means transmitters can confirm setting changes have been implemented. No more crossing your fingers!

• Broadband, high linearity LNA
• RF pre-amplifer
• Attenuation blocks
• Shuttered fibre optic connector
• SMA type optical connector

Mutli-core cross site cables

Single, dual and multi-link cross site cables simplify and minimise setup time and allow a single receiver to monitor up to 48 sensors (six transmitters, each with eight inputs) sequentially, or two sensors simultaneously (requires dual input receiver module).

This device is ideal for establishing noise-free data transmission between computers and peripherals, avoiding ground loops and errors caused by pick-up of transients and interference radiated from industrial equipment. The device also allows data transmission over high voltage gradients often found on particle beam accelerator lines, and anywhere else that optical isolation is required.

While actual hardware handshaking is not supported, the handshaking lines can be forced with the use of internal jumpers. If actual handshaking is desired the software commmands XON and XOFF must be supported and used by both the computers and peripherals.

Power may be provided by using an external plug pack, or by the RS-232 serial interface (if supported by the computers or peripheral device).

Up to 16 DIs can be placed on each fiber optic loop coming from the loop controller installed in the host computer.

The Group3 Control system features dual port RAM in it’s loop controllers for added speed, and redundant calibration tables within the DIs and I/O boards for added system reliability.

Applications include monitoring and control of Ion Implanters, Electron Guns, Ion Sources, RF Accelerators, RFQ Accelerators, and LINAC Accelerators, to name a few.
