Do not replace the optical transceivers, as proper function of the detector system cannot be guaranteed otherwise. Please contact support@dectris.com if you need replacement transceivers. Caution There must be a 2 x LC/UPC duplex fiber optic con- nectors point-to-point connection between detector and detector control unit.
Caution For in-vacuum operation do not use the standard con- nectors. A specific vacuum feedthrough set containing ® all required parts is available from DECTRIS 4.2. Detector Control Unit 4.2.1. Configuration Caution Do not access or modify the operating system of the detector control unit.

See DELL owner’s manual for further details. 4.3. Thermal Stabilization Unit A thermal stabilization unit is required for the operation of the EIGER2 S 1M-RW detector system. The hoses and the detector are equipped with self-sealing valves to avoid dripping when connecting or disconnecting the tubes.
Prior to powering up and operating the detector in-vacuum the thermal stabilization unit has to be set to a temperature of 17 °C for at least 30 min. ® DECTRIS EIGER 2 S 1M-RW Technical Specifications v1.8.1 16 | 31...

The detector should be mounted using the four internal M6x1 threads as shown in figure 5.3 (indicated with yellow circles). Figure 5.3: Drawing of the EIGER2 S 1M-RW Detector Base Plate (also printed separately in the user documentation folder) Caution The four M6 screws must not intrude into the detector more than 10 mm.
(see section 3.3). The EIGER2 S 1M-RW detector has to be connected to a dry air (or nitrogen) source to avoid humidity and condensation damage when it is outside of the storage box. For information on system connections, refer to the section 4.1.5 and for storage of the detector system refer to the section 7.5.
The EIGER2 S 1M-RW is delivered with a 30 m long optical fiber cable. The connection to the detector consists of 2 x LC/UPC duplex fiber optic connectors.
The EIGER2 S 1M-RW detector is water-cooled and must be connected to a dedicated thermal stabilization unit. The detector is supplied with quick coupling connectors to connect the cooling tubes to the thermal stabilization unit. Optional 90°-angled connectors can also be supplied.
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 S 1M-RW Technical Specifications v1.8.1...
6. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROL The EIGER2 S 1M-RW detector has a combined temperature and humidity sensor. The temperature and humidity control shuts down the detector when the humidity or the temperature of the sensor exceeds the following limits: Table 6.1: Temperature and Humidity Limits...
• Do not remove the nitrogen/dry air connection. It is a requirement that it is left at the recommended flow rate according to section 5.5. Warning As long as the detector power cable is connected, the detector has to be considered under power. ® DECTRIS EIGER 2 S 1M-RW Technical Specifications v1.8.1 26 | 31...
To see if a detector is vacuum compatible, check whether the vacuum compatibility option is included in the order confir- ® mation received from DECTRIS 7.4.1. Ambient Conditions for In-Vacuum Use For in-vacuum operation of the detector following conditions must be fulfilled: Table 7.1: In-Vacuum Operating Conditions...
The detector housing can be cleaned with a soft tissue. The EIGER2 S 1M-RW detector does not require any maintenance. The coolant liquid has to be replaced every 12 months. For information on the coolant liquid, see section 4.3.
Table 8.1 provides an overview of possible problems with the detector system and instructions in order to solve the problems. If the problem you are experiencing is not listed below or if the instructions do not help, please contact support@dectris.com.
