VÅNTEC-1 Detector User Manual Safety Issues
M88-E01072 1 - 3
Inside the VÅNTEC-1, voltages up to 15 KV DC 
occur which are not accessible from the outside. 
High voltages exist inside the detector and in 
the cables with the label “HV” connecting the 
detecting unit and the control rack. After turning 
off the system, high voltages are still present. 
They discharge over time. Wait a few minutes 
before removing cables from the controller unit. 
If one of these high-voltage components is dam-
aged, switch off the system immediately and 
contact your local Bruker AXS Service Depart-
ment (in the U.S.A., 1-800-234-XRAY).
Sometimes complex D8 systems will be 
supplied by several power supply lines. The 
system and its components will be live until all 
power lines connected to the system are 
disconnected from the mains power supply.
The following warning symbols are displayed on 
the detector. Strictly obey all instructions and 
warning text printed on the labels attached to 
the various parts of the equipment.
Wait 60 seconds after turning off HV power 
before removing HV connectors!
X-ray window is Beryllium.
Any activity that scratches the window surface 
can generate airborne Beryllium dust which can 
cause lung disease if inhaled.
Beryllium metal in solid form, and as contained 
in this product, presents no special health risks.
For additional information, reference MSDS.
The rating plate is also displayed on the detec-
tor.
