The Entube-Z is a high bandwidth voltage transducer designed for single ended measurements in
a very compact form factor, and without need for power supplies. This series covers the ranges of
±100V, ±200V, ±300V, ±400V, ±500V, ±750V, ±1kV, ±2kV, ±3kV, ±4kV and ±5kV with up to 50MHz
bandwidth and 0.5% of signal accuracy.
The Entube-Z generates a ±200mV or ±1V scaled down version of its input signal, which can then
be processed by most computer based measurement platforms. Its compact form factor allows for
very high channel densities, while delivering high performance for a low cost.

DESCRIPTION
The Entube Z sensor family operates as a single ended voltage
divider that outputs a ±200mV or ±1V output signal, which can be
processed by a computer based measurement platform.
The coaxial input line connect to the sensor via a SHV or BNC
connector, while the conditioned signal from the sensor comes
out on a standard BNC Plug.

Due to its compact size and shape, the Entube Z sensor family
can be easily mounted anywhere between the signal source and
the data acquisition system. The versions up to 5kV may even
be used inline with the cable and not require any mounting at all.
All can be secured to fixtures using cable ties.

(1) Form factor can vary for customized solutions.
(2) High voltage connectors must always be cleaned prior to mating. The proper cleaning method is to wipe or spray the interface
area with isopropyl alcohol and immediately blow an inert gas such as dry nitrogen over the interface area until dry. No other cleaning
method should be attempted.
