PerkinElmer Flat Panel X-ray Detectors (FPDs) require additional power supplies, frame grabbers and cables for optimum performance. Below you will find detailed descriptions of the accessories. Please refer to the Accessories Product Note to see accessory / FPD compatibility tables.
Power Supplies
The XRD power supplies are stand-alone units designed to support PerkinElmer’s FPDs. They support 100 V to 240 V at 50 Hz and 60 Hz. An LED display indicates the status of the device. The XRD EPS Power Supply is distinguished by its rugged design, versatility and low ripple and humming voltage. The output voltages are stabilized across the load using voltage-sensing connections. An LED display indicates the status of the device. It is designed to support the XRD 0822 and 1622 detector (also 1621) series detectors for indoor and outdoor usage. The XRD EPS can be used as a table power supply as well as a mounted system device.
The XRD EPS is the main power supply for PerkinElmer XRD FPDs and is approved for medical and industrial applications. The enhanced power supply XRD EPS is a stand-alone unit that supports 100 V to 240 V at 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The XRD EPS Power Supply is distinguished by its rugged design, versatility, low ripple and humming voltage. The output voltages are stabilized across the load using voltage-sensing connections.
Frame Grabbers
The XRD Frame Grabber boards are used for controlling and acquiring 16-bit data images using PerkinElmer Flat Panel X-ray Detectors (FPD). They connect to the FPDs with an optical fiber interface. Up to four frame grabbers, each using its own detector can be connected to one PC. Frame Grabbers provide the advantage of synchronization between the detector and X-ray source or manipulator by using an external trigger signal or by using the internal trigger function of the frame grabber. It provides an FPGA and 256 MB RAM to perform on-board corrections including multiple gain correction at 10 signal levels. The robust optical fiber interface provides galvanic isolation between the FPD and frame grabber and IP68 proofed plugs on the side of the detector and on both ends of the extension cable.
Cables
Several options of power, trigger and data cables are available. It is possible to extend maximum cable length using extension and connectors. Please refer to the compatibility chart on the Accessories Product Note for a complete list of available cables.
Shielding
It is important to protect the electronics of the FPDs with shielding cassettes to ensure they are not damaged during use. We offer several shielding options for our XRD 0822 and XRD 1622 FPDs at 160, 225, 350 and 450 keV. Tungsten shielding is one available option; it has less scattering effects than lead, improves image quality and is easier for service engineers to handle and install.
