ORTEC Nim Devices

ORTEC Nim Devices

Call it an obsession; I like to collect datasheets and manuals. This mostly due to frustration when a casual google search does not yield a datasheet or manual I seek. So whenever I find a datasheet I am missing/need, I add it to the collection.

If you have one I am missing, please share!

Special Thanks to Ite Weide and Marcel for providing some new manuals and updating others

You can email me here.

  1. Hi,

    I had some old ortec manuals that came with some other stuff I bought long time ago on a hamfest. I didn’t want to just throw it away.

    Thats why I send them to Frank Philipse.
    He scanned the documents and put all on his website.

    I think there are a few that complement your collection.
    Feel free to copy them and put them on your site.

    regards,
    Ite

  3. I have 3 scanned ortec manuals that I could share:
    – LF4000
    – DV8000
    – SH8000

    Can I mail them or share them otherwise?

    1. Jack, Thank you, I will have it downloaded and added shortly =)
      I have definitely put alot more effort into finding Canberra manuals than the ortec ones, but i will circle back around eventually to fill out the ortec list a bit

  5. I’ve just scanned an Ortec 484 Scaler manual, which it looks like you don’t have yet. How may I send it to you?

    Thanks for maintaining your manual library!

    2. Jim, I did try and send you an email asking for the 484 manual when you made this comment. If you are still around and respond to Bubba, please consider passing it along to me as well.
      Cheers,
      Jay

  6. 257N_Charge_Sensitive_Preamplifier_Schematic presents details of construction specific for the N type Ge diodes. Do you happen to have a similar schematic for the P-type HpGe? Someone knows how Ortec terms that specific preamp?

    1. I am sorry, but I do not have any knowledge on this specific topic.
      I’ll ask around though and report back if I discover anything.

  7. Hi
    I am interested to see if anyone has any information about EG&G Ortec products handled by the NPL in the late 60’s & early 70’s
    I worked for Ortec at that time and there is a particular item, a Nim module I have a fascination for. I want to try and find out about its origin and development. I’d pleased if anyone would like to compare notes etc.
    cheers

    1. Hello,
      I dont know much about the origin of various modules. But maybe someone does, which module are you seeking info on?

  8. I once, in the 70s or 80s, repaired an Ortec MCA with magnetic core memory. It was built from TTL ICs. I am trying to remember the Model number and search for a picture of it but no luck. Can you help me ?
    I think I may even have the Ortec supplied, hand written, description of the circuit operation, but I would have to dig through my pile of old boxes to be sure. I once made a complete block diagram of the whole circuit. I hope I still have it but somehow I doubt it. It was probably the only one that ever existed.
