4.1.2. Detector Head The detector head comes with a protective cover (1 mm, stainless steel) for the front window (figure 4.6), which should ® only be removed during operation (figure 4.7). The sensors are behind a 12 µm thick Mylar (PET) foil coated with 100 nm aluminium to protect them from humidity and ambient light.

® Removing the Mylar Window for Detectors with Optional Vacuum Compatibility For operation in vacuum and when the vacuum chamber is light-tight, the Mylar window is not required and can be re- ® moved for higher detection efficiency at low X-ray energies. The Mylar window can be removed by loosening four screws ®...
Table 4.1: Connectors for cables/pipes on the detector head POWER Power cable (2m) to the detector electronics unit/vacuum feedthrough (grey or white D-Sub cable). DATA Data cable (2m) to the detector electronics unit/vacuum feedthrough (blue Samtec SQCD ribbon cable). DRY AIR Dry air or nitrogen for humidity control.
Table 4.3: Status LEDs on the detector back plane - continued Description TEMP Normally green. Turns red if the detector temperature or humidity is out of the limits. POWER Normally green. Turns red if there is a power failure or if the de- tector temperature or humidity is out of the limits.

Figure 4.12: Picture of the optional PILATUS3 R 100K-M cooling vacuum feedthrough set with tubes through a standard DN40ISO-KF flange, and straight and elbow connectors for the detector head.
4.2. Detector Control Unit 4.2.1. Configuration of the Detector Control Unit Please do not install or run any other software on the computer, except tools and software which are necessary for config- uring your data acquisition protocol. The detector control unit is set up with a standard installation of the CentOS 7.x distribution. Regular system updates can be made.
Table 4.5: Detector Control Unit Connectors - continued Connector Description EM2 (Embedded, figure 4.14) 1 GBase-T adapter Detector Interface Port1 labeled as Data Static 10.0.11.1 The start-up script /etc/rc.local disables ARP. Do not change this! Power (figure 4.14) AC Connector See DELL owner’s manual for further details.
Table 4.6: In-air operating conditions - continued Condition Definition Coolant 66 % distilled water 34 % ethylene glycol. Danger Ethylene glycol can be seriously harmful to your health or fatal if handled incorrectly. Consider the packaging and safefty instruc- tions provided by your local supplier. Information Before operating the thermal stabilization unit, please read the User Manual of the thermal stabilization unit.
5. INSTALLING THE DETECTOR SYSTEM 5.1. Transport Considerations Warning Avoid vibration and shock when moving the detector. The detector has been delivered in a robust transport box. Please keep this transport box for transport or storage purpose. 5.2. Mounting The detector can be mounted in the ways which are described below. 5.2.1.

Figure 5.2: Drawing of the PILATUS3 R 100K-M Detector Head with extended Mounting Brackets (top view) Mounting the Detector Head from Below Warning It is strictly forbidden to add any threads to the detector base plate or to the detector housing. The detector should be mounted using the two internal M6x1 threads as shown in figure 5.3 (indicated with yellow circles).
Caution The four M6 screws must not intrude into the detector less than 10 mm and more than 15 mm. 5.2.2. Mounting the Detector Electronics Unit The detector electronics unit can be mounted from below using the four internal threads (M6x1). To mount the detector electronics unit from above, optional mounting brackets are available upon request.
• Oil free, dry air of <20 % relative humidity or nitrogen must be used. −1 −1 • The recommended flow is 5 L h to 10 L h (at 2 bar). • For reliable operation we recommend dry air of <5 % relative humidity. •...

Depicted are horizontal (left) and vertical (right) connectors from the optional PILATUS3 R 100K-M cooling vacuum feedthrough set (section 4.1.4). 5.6. Mounting the Detector Control Unit Caution Make sure that the detector control unit has adequate ventilation. The detector control unit can be mounted in a standard 19 inch rack, which has to be properly grounded.
6. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROL The PILATUS3 R 100K-M detector has a combined temperature and relative humidity sensor. The temperature and humid- ity control shuts down the detector when the relative humidity or the temperature of the sensor exceeds the limits in table 6.1. Table 6.1: Temperature and relative humidity limits Shutdown Temperature Shutdown Relative Humidity...
7. OPERATION PROCEDURE Before operating the detector, make sure you have read the Technical Specifications and the User Manual of the PILA- TUS3 R 100K-M detector. 7.1. Getting Started Before switching on: • Mount the detector head and the detector electronics unit properly. •...
7.3. Turning Off the Detector To turn off the detector: • Turn OFF the detector electronics unit power switch. • Do not remove the nitrogen/dry air connection. It is a requirement that it is left at the recommended flow rate according to section 5.4.
® ® The Mylar foil must not be touched or cleaned. If it becomes dirty or is damaged, please contact DECTRIS technical support. The housing can be cleaned with a soft tissue. Please refer to the user documentation of the thermal stabilization unit for detailed information about the maintenance of your thermal stabilization unit.
An overview of possible problems with the detector system and instructions in order to solve the problems is provided in table 8.1. If the problem you are experiencing is not listed below or if the instructions do not help, please contact support@dectris.com. Table 8.1: Troubleshooting...
