2.3. The Docking Station
The docking station houses both the charger for the Detective-EX’s internal lithium-ion battery,
and two low-noise fans that assist heat exchange in the Detective-EX. In addition, a sealed
137
Cs
calibration source, with an activity of ~1 µCi (37 kBq), is mounted in the top of the docking
station’s source holder on the front of the docking station, for use with the auto-calibration fea-
ture (see Section 2.11). Figure 9 shows the connector, cable, and indicators on the docking
station’s front panel. Figure 10 shows the rear panel and ac power supply.
Place the docking station on a hard, level surface. The underside of the docking station should
be kept clear so air can circulate to help dissipate the heat from the cooler. For more information
on proper placement and treatment of the docking station, see the setup instructions in
Section 2.8.1 and the cautions in Section 2.7.
2.3.1. Connectors and Indicators
In addition to the built-in calibration source, the docking station features:
! Integral front-panel external power and battery charger cable that attaches to the Detec-
tive-EX INPUT POWER connector.
! Front-panel red and green CHARGE STATUS indicators. While the Detective-EX’s
internal battery is charging, the red indicator is continuously lit. When the battery is fully
charged, the green indicator turns on and the red indicator turns off.
! Rear-panel dc POWER IN connector attaches to the ac/dc power adapter or other 12 V
power source.
