4.1.4 Connectors and Connecting Cables/Pipes Connector Description DATA 1 (D1) Data connection 1 Cable: Use only the included cable. Custom made cables or connectors will not work. Minimum bending radius in a fix installation: 5 times the cable diameter. Minimum bending radius in a flexible installation: 15 times the cable diameter. - Page 14 Connector Description Ground Functional ground of the detector system. Although the detector might be grounded via the mounting bolts, the detector can be grounded additionally via the functional ground connector at the back (M6 screw-in tap hole) to establish a defined grounding.

Page 15: Computer
4.2 Computer The computer is a high power server with a proprietary data acquisition card to communicate with the detector. The PC should be kept behind a firewall and should not have outside internet access. The operating system is optimized for high speed data acquisition and has a custom kernel: Therefore, do not permit any software upgrades on the kernel! Do not install or run any other software on the computer, except as... -
Page 16: Cooling Unit
4.3 Cooling Unit The PILATUS 1M detector system is equipped with a cooling unit for temperature stabilization of the detector head. The tubes and the detector are equipped with self-sealing valves to avoid dripping when connecting or disconnecting the tubes. There is no fixed limitation on the length of the tubing. -
Page 17: Installing The Detector System
The detector has a transport hook which has to be used for carrying the detector. Figure 7. PILATUS 1M with mounted transport hook Only use an appropriate lifting device with a carrying capacity of at least 25 kg to move the detector The handles on the side of the detector are only for positioning not for lifting. - Page 18 Figure 8.

Page 19: Mounting
5.2 Mounting The detector can be mounted in two ways: 5.2.1 Mounting from Above Use the detachable mounting pieces, which are stored on the back of the detector. These mounting pieces have to be mounted on the base plate of the detector. -
Page 20: Mounting From Below
5.2.2 Mounting from Below From below with four M6 bolts. Mounting points when mounting from the bottom Figure 10. Mounting from below, bottom view The four M6 bolts should not intrude into the detector more than 16 Make sure the detector is properly mounted. Make sure the detector has enough space for proper ventilation (minimum wall distance: 170 mm). -
Page 21: Grounding Of The Detector System
5.3 Grounding of the Detector System The main plug of the computer and the power supply of the detector have to be connected to a grounded power outlet. Although the detector might be grounded via the mounting bolts, the detector can be grounded additionally via the functional ground connector at the back (M6 screw-in tap hole) to establish a defined grounding. -
Page 22: Connection To Nitrogen Or Dry Air
5.4 Connection to Nitrogen or Dry Air The PILATUS detector has to be connected to a nitrogen or dry air flow to avoid humidity and condensation when it is outside the storage box. For storage see section 9. Figure 12. Nitrogen connector on the back of the detector Humidity can damage the detector. -
Page 23: Connecting The Cables
To operate the detector, the data cables and the ground should be connected. For specification of cables and pipes see section 4.1.4. The PILATUS 1M detector is equipped with one data cable. Connect RX to RX and TX to TX on the GigaSTaR Card in the PC. Labels for the connections are printed on the server housing. -
