Section 6: Installation
Review the entire section on the installation before installing the system.
6.1 Cold head installation
CAUTION
Failure to follow these installation guidelines will void the warranty.
CAUTION
Special care must be taken when handling the cold head. The warranty will not cover dented or bent
tubes.
CAUTION
Operating the cold head in a magnetic field of greater than 500 gauss will void the warranty.
1. Inspect the mounting surface of the base plate for any scratches in the sealing area.
Scratches or dents on the sealing surface will cause a leak from the ambient into the
vacuum vessel.
2. Inspect the interface surfaces of the copper heat exchanger for scratches or dents
before attaching anything to it. Scratches or dents will prevent good thermal contact
between the heat exchanger and the object(s) attached to it.
Please notify Cryomech, Inc. if scratches or dents are observed on any of the above-
mentioned surfaces.
3. Make certain the flat gaskets are present and properly seated in the ends of the
Aeroquip connectors.
