7 Preventive Maintenance and
Troubleshooting
The components of the diffractometer are basically maintenance-free for the user. However, Bruker
AXS recommends a yearly preventive maintenance inspection. To schedule this inspection or for
technical support, contact your local Bruker AXS Service Department.
Note
For standard maintenance and troubleshooting there is no need to open any of the LYNX-
EYE XE components. Especially breaking the seal of the detector cover and/or removing
the detector cover will lead to a complete loss of warranty!
7.1 Cleaning the LYNXEYE XE Detector
Caution!
In preparation of a cleaning of the instrument please shut down the complete diffraction
system (i.e., all control electronics, accessory components, and the high voltage genera-
tor).
To clean the exterior of the detector components, use dry cleaning utensils only. Do not use water or
aggressive cleaning agents. Clean laboratory conditions are recommended. Airflow is critical for main-
taining proper operation of the detector control electronics. Do not place anything on the controllers
that may restrict the flow of air. Regular cleaning of the detector components includes removal of any
airflow restrictions, including dust.
