SBZ-2008 simmer board

The SBZ-2008 is a 24V DC simmer supply that strikes and maintains low-current discharge in the flashlamp to increase its lifetime and operation stability.

The SBZ-2008 simmer supply is powered from +24 V DC source. It includes all necessary circuits not only for maintaining of low-current discharge, but also for simmer ignition as well: the built-in gas discharger for high-voltage and high-energy trigger pulse production and the auxiliary 1400 V open-circuit voltage supply. An ignition transformer is not included in SBZ-2008 and sold separately.

The simmer current can be adjusted from 300 to 800 mA (150-400 mA for low-current version) using the on-board potentiometer. In case of current interruption, the automatic simmer ignition will restrike with approximately 3 Hz repetition rate until the discharge is restored.

The simmer supply can be used in laser systems either with series or external triggering without any changes.

No external cooling is required.

Please, also pay attention to the:

• SBZ-3008 +24V DC simmer supply encased module, for large flashlamps or two flashlamps connected in series, 150-1300 mA simmer current range, different models available.
