ALFA Electronics implementation PMT, PMF and kaptons are enclosed in a dark box, the motherboard carrying other elements (ELMB, trigger mezzanine) is vertical on the edge Partial view of the kaptons cabling, PMF are located inside, HV connectors on the right trigger signals on the left. White wires are the internal HV lines. TWEPP 2011 F. Anghinolfi CERN/PH/ESE

  21. Electronics commissionning Light ~1p.e. HV 950V No light HV ON Electronics commissioning was performed on the 8 systems just before installation and repeated after installation TWEPP 2011 F. Anghinolfi CERN/PH/ESE

  22. Electronics commissioning Electrical test stand : one charge signal injected in one channel. The method was used to verify the channel mapping for DAQ reconstruction LED test stand : one long distance LED (about 1m and light diffuser) is used to illuminate all channels. In this plot one PMF “row” is not operational, as well as a 3 other PMTs (HV off) TWEPP 2011 F. Anghinolfi CERN/PH/ESE

  23. Electronics commissioning Internal LED pulser : light is passing through leaks in the optical connectors. More light at the center (where the LED is located). Test on one RP system after its installation in the tunnel. TWEPP 2011 F. Anghinolfi CERN/PH/ESE
