Page 29: Connection To Dry Air Or Nitrogen
Detectors used in vacuum need different optical cables. For information about vacuum cables, refer to the vacuum ® feedthrough set specifications or contact DECTRIS support. 5.5.1. Installing the Cables The fiber optic cables come with a pulling eye to make cable installation easier and a cable sock to protect the connectors. -
Page 30: Checking The Connection
Do not add any component other than those supplied by DECTRIS to the cooling circuit. Using the wrong material in the ® cooling circuit leads to galvanic corrosion, which can permanently damage the detector. Contact DECTRIS support at support@dectris.com in case the supplied components are not compatible with your setup. -
Page 31: Mounting The Detector Control Unit
The mains plug of the detector control unit has to be connected to a grounded power outlet. The detector control unit can be mounted in a standard 19 inch rack, which has to be properly grounded. ® DECTRIS EIGER 2 X 9M-V Technical Specifications v1.8.1... -
