Figure 5.2: Drawing of the PILATUS4 X CdTe 4M Detector Base Plate with Mounting Brackets (bottom view) 5.3. Grounding of the Detector Although the detector might be already grounded via the mounting bolts, the detector should be grounded additionally via the functional ground connector at the back in order to establish a defined grounding. -
Page 23: Fiber Optic Cable Installation
The PILATUS4 X CdTe 4M 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 7.4. -
Page 24: Cleaning The Connectors
• Do not add any component other than those supplied by DECTRIS to the cooling circuit. The PILATUS4 X CdTe 4M 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 sta- bilization unit. -
Page 25: 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 PILATUS 4 X CdTe 4M Technical Specifications v1.0.2... -
Page 26: Temperature And Humidity Control
6. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROL The PILATUS4 X CdTe 4M 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... -
Page 27: Operation Procedure
• 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. Warning As long as the detector power cable is connected, the detector has to be considered under power. ® DECTRIS PILATUS 4 X CdTe 4M Technical Specifications v1.0.2 23 | 28... -
Page 28: Storing The Detector
If it is damaged, please contact DECTRIS technical support. The detector housing can be cleaned with a soft tissue. The PILATUS4 X CdTe 4M 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. -
Page 29: Safety Instructions For Cdte Sensors
• Do not inhale Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) dust when sensor is broken or burnt. • Do not ingest Cadmium Telluride (CdTe). • Avoid skin contact. For recycling, see section 2.1. ® DECTRIS PILATUS 4 X CdTe 4M Technical Specifications v1.0.2 25 | 28... -
