Re: HVB

["Fernando J. Barbosa" <barbosa@jlab.org>]

Hi Yves,

Most likely your HV supply has an SHV connector. I suggest you get an 
SHV receptacle and solder the red HV cable for the HVB to the center 
contact and solder an insulated wire (perhaps 16 AWG or thicker) to the 
shell (ground). You should connect this ground wire directly to the 
detector endplate. The connector that the HVB plugs into will also have 
the ground connection to the endplate. This is the configuration for the 
CDC detector.

The ground connector on the board provides an optional ground connection 
and there is a resistor in series (100 Ohm) to minimize the impact from 
ground loops. This is also detailed on the test report I placed on the wiki.

Regards,
Fernando
