However, as the sensors may not prevent damage, temperature and humidity should be monitored to avoid breaching the operation limits. The PILATUS4 R CdTe 260K detector is designed for indoor use only. The ambient conditions shown in table 3.6 must be satisfied. The stated values are for the ambient conditions.
3D step files of the PILATUS4 R CdTe 260K detector are available on request. Please contact ® DECTRIS technical support for more information.

10GBASE-LR Single Mode SFP+ optical transceivers. Do not replace the optical transceivers, as proper function of the detector system cannot be guaranteed other- wise. Please contact support@dectris.com if you need replacement transceivers. Caution There must be a 1 x LC/UPC duplex fiber op- tic connector point-to-point connection between detector and detector control unit.

Use opaque hoses to avoid the growth of algae. Caution Do not set the temperature of the thermal stabilization unit below the recommended operating temperature. Condensing moisture can develop and damage the detector. ® DECTRIS PILATUS 4 R CdTe 260K Technical Specifications v1.0.2 15 | 27...
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 four internal M6x1 threads as shown in figure 5.1 (indicated with yellow circles). ® DECTRIS PILATUS 4 R CdTe 260K Technical Specifications v1.0.2 16 | 27...
Make sure the mounting brackets are mounted and properly tightened using the screws pro- vided. The placement of the screws is indicated with diamonds in figure 5.2. Figure 5.2: Drawing of the PILATUS4 R CdTe 260K Detector Base Plate with Mounting Brackets (bottom view) ®...
(see section 3.3). The PILATUS4 R CdTe 260K 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.
Fiber optic cables are sensitive to dirt on the connectors and excessive bending, squeezing, or pinching of the cables. The PILATUS4 R CdTe 260K is delivered with a 5 m long optical fiber cable. The connection to the detector consists of 1 x LC/UPC duplex fiber optic connector.
Contact ® DECTRIS support at support@dectris.com in case the supplied components are not compatible with your setup. Figure 5.4: Horizontal coolant connectors 5.7. Mounting the Detector Control Unit Caution Make sure that the detector control unit has adequate ventilation.
6. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROL The PILATUS4 R CdTe 260K 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...
• Turn OFF the detector control unit. • 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. ® DECTRIS PILATUS 4 R CdTe 260K Technical Specifications v1.0.2 22 | 27...
If it is damaged, please contact DECTRIS technical support. The detector housing can be cleaned with a soft tissue. The PILATUS4 R CdTe 260K 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.
