  • Page 15: Removing The Rear Panel

    CHAPTER 2 DECADE II DCC upgrade kit install guide, edition 5 2. Removing the rear panel Both circuit boards are mounted on a separate metal frame, which are fixed on the rear panel of the detector. The circuit boards can be accessed by removal of the rear panel by means of the four M3 Phillips screws as depicted in figure 2.
  • Page 16 Installation guide 2. Subsequently, pull the rear panel backwards as far as depicted in figure 3. The rear panel is constrained by the length of the connected cables. The control board can rest on the isolated casing of the power supply compartment without any problem. Figure 3 Detector with rear panel pulled backwards.

    3. Installation of 2 internal cell cable If the DECADE II has a s/n < 17100072 (upgrade kit p/n 171.0220) it is necessary to install the internal cell cable now. Please continue with the installation procedure described in appendix A.
  • Page 18 Installation guide Both the internal cell cable and the I C/power cable of sensor board 1 should be labelled for identification using the vinyl label marked "sensor 1" provided in the kit. The labels can be found in the white envelope (p/n 171.0208). Label the cables as depicted in figure 5.
  • Page 19: Removing Sensor Board

    CHAPTER 2 DECADE II DCC upgrade kit install guide, edition 5 5. Removing sensor board To access the control board it is necessary to remove the sensor board completely. This is done in the following manner: • Disconnect the internal cell cable depicted in figure 4(B) and 6 This is a subD connector, which is fixed with two screws.
