Page 12: The Status Leds
4.1.3 The Status LEDs Description Power If green, all supply voltages are ok. If red, module power is off. This can be caused by over/under temperature, too much humidity or too high module current (One or more modules may come into oscillations, see section 11). Temp Normally green. - Page 13 Connector Description Power +12 V Main voltage 12 VDC from external power supply. EXT IN External Trigger Input Use a Lemo ® Type 00 (NIM-CAMAC) cable.

Page 15: Computer
4.3 Computer The computer is a high power server with one (fast option: three) proprietary data acquisition card(s) to communicate with the detector. Labels for the connections are printed on the server housing. The PC should be kept behind a firewall and should not have outside internet access. -
Page 16: Installing The Detector System
5 Installing the Detector System 5.1 Mounting The detector can be mounted in two ways: 5.1.1 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 17: Mounting From Below
5.1.2 Mounting from Below From below with four M6 bolts. Mounting points when mounting from the bottom Figure 8. 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 18: Grounding Of The Detector System
5.2 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 19: Connection To Nitrogen Or Dry Air
5.3 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 10. Nitrogen connector on the back of the detector Humidity can damage the detector. -
Page 20: 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 300K-W detector is equipped with one (fast option: three) data cable(s). 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. -
