    See DELL owner’s manual for further details. 4.3. Thermal Stabilization Unit A thermal stabilization unit is required for the operation of the PILATUS4 R CdTe 260K detector system. The hoses and the detector are equipped with self-sealing quick connect fittings to avoid dripping when con- necting or disconnecting the tubes.
  • Page 19 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...
  • Page 20: Installing The Detector System Transport Considerations

    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...

  • Page 22: Grounding Of The Detector

    (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.
  • Page 23: Fiber Optic Cable Installation

    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.
