VÅNTEC-1 Detector User Manual Hardware Installation for the D4 ENDEAVOR

M88-E01072 5 - 3

5.4 Hardware Installation

Use the following tools for this procedure:

• Loctite 422

• Torx screwdriver

• Allen screwdriver

Additional rails and hardware must be mounted

to accommodate the VÅNTEC-1 controller and

FDC (if present) in the D4. The location of the

FDC (if present) and PSD controllers is critical

for proper operation. There must be sufficient

airflow around the controllers to prevent the

electronics from overheating. Do not place the

VÅNTEC-1 controller in close proximity to the

generator. This may induce electronic noise in

the detector electronics.

Use care when moving the detector head to

avoid mechanical shock to the assembly.

See Table A.3 in Appendix A for the configura-

tion scheme.

5.4.1 Mount the Rails and Detector

1. Remove the D4’s left side panel.

2. Remove the rack for the electronics.

3. Mount the rails and attach the rack nuts at

the positions shown in Figure 5.1. The FDC

(if present) must be mounted below the

detector controller. Otherwise, the airflow

inside the detector controller is restricted.

Figure 5.1 - Mount the controllers in the electronics rack

4. Adjust the height of the rails so that the con-

troller can be fixed to the rack nuts.

5. Take out the controllers and mount the rack

into the system again.
