3 Warnings
Please read these warnings before operating the detector
• Before turning the power supply on, check the supply voltage with the
label on the power supply. Using the improper mains voltage will
destroy the power supply and damage the detector.
• Power down the detector system before connecting or disconnecting
any cable.
• Make sure the cables are connected and properly secured.
• Avoid pressure or tension on the cables.
• The air intakes and outlet for the detector fan should not be obstructed.
• The detector system should have enough space for proper ventilation.
Operating the detector outside the specified ambient conditions could
damage the system
• Do not touch the entrance window of the detector.
• The detector is not specified to withstand direct beam at a synchrotron.
Such exposure will damage the exposed pixels.
• Replace the protective cover when the detector is not in use.
• On powering up the detector, the ammeter on the power supply should
show a current of approximately 2 A. In operation the ammeter should
not exceed a current of about 3 A. (where applicable)
With any over-current condition, immediately shut the detector down
and restart it.
• Opening the detector or the power supply housing without the explicit
instructions from DECTRIS will void the warranty.
• The Linux-OS on the PC has a customized Kernel to improve data
throughput.
DO NOT UPDATE THE OS OR THE KERNEL
