Preventive Maintenance and Troubleshooting VÅNTEC-1 Detector User Manual

10.1 Cleaning the Diffraction System
and Measuring Equipment
Before cleaning the equipment, turn off power to
the complete diffraction system (i.e., all control
electronics, accessory components, and the
high voltage generator).
Do not touch the front window of the X-ray
detector and the X-ray tube as they contain
beryllium. Beryllium is potentially hazardous if
ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
Take care to avoid contact with the VÅNTEC-1
X-ray window. Never drill, grind or sand
beryllium unless you are a qualified individual
using appropriate respiratory equipment and
dust containment and collection apparatus.
Disposal of parts containing beryllium must
comply with all applicable national regulations.
To clean the interior of the enclosure and exte-
rior of the detector components, use dry clean-
ing utensils only. Do not use water or
aggressive cleaning agents. Clean laboratory
conditions are recommended.
Airflow is critical for maintaining proper opera-
tion 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.
