4.1 Detector
Switch evaluation unit off before connecting the scintillation
counter.
Open the screws and remove the connection box cover to expose
the connection area.
The detector is connected to terminals 1
and 2 on the evaluation unit via a 2-wire
(2 x 1 mm
2
) shielded standard cable with
6 mm diameter. This cross-section allows
a maximum length of 750 m. When in-
stalling the connection cable, you have to
make sure that water cannot get into the
connection room via the cable. With am-
bient temperatures >70°C, the installed
cable has to be protected to prevent ex-
ceeding of the temperature limits of the
cable. Following connection, check that
the connection room is carefully closed
and the cable bushing properly sealed.
With a rod detector, a 6 m longer cable
has to be connected to determine the
background.

For equipment installed in the Ex-area, please observe the
special requirements for the cable and the preparation of
the connection wires.
The detector LB 44... has to be used for installation in the
Ex-area.
The evaluation unit must always be installed outside the Ex-
area.
A special transmission technique ensures that interference will be
suppressed. Nevertheless, the cable should not be installed to-
gether with power cables.
