Installation diagram for TTK 600 with compressed-air cooling equipment.

4.2 Installation Requirements

The setup location and surroundings should meet 
the requirements of a typical laboratory. 

Allow the equipment to reach ambient temperature 
before installation. This is very important if the 
equipment has been stored or transported at lower 
temperatures. 

To ensure temperature stability and trouble-free 
measurement never locate your instrument:

• next to a heating facility

• near an air conditioning, ventilation system or an 

open window

• in direct sunlight

Keep the instrument away from magnetic fields.

Read the Safety Instructions in chapter 1.

during low temperature operation the LN2 hoses 
get stiff and rotatability of the sample chamber 
may be limited.

• Clearance around goniometer axis:

at least 

 125 mm

=> see also appendix A

• Feedthroughs for two LN2 hoses with

WARNING

Risk of injury.

Operation of TTK 600 Low-Temperature Cham-
ber on an X-ray diffractometer without radiation 
safety enclosure can cause exposure to ionizing 
radiation.
Exposure to ionizing radiation above natural 
dose can lead to skin and eye damage and can 
have carcinogenic and mutagenic effects in your 
body.
