3. Warnings
Please read these warnings before operating the detector system.

DO NOT TOUCH THE ENTRANCE WINDOW OF THE DETECTOR.

Place the protective cover on the entrance window of the detector when it is not in use.

The detector is not specified to withstand direct beam at a synchrotron. Such exposure will damage the
exposed channels.

The detector system should have enough space for proper ventilation. Operating the detector outside the
specified ambient conditions could damage the system.

The air inlets and outlets of the detector control system should not be blocked.

Power down the detector system before connecting or disconnecting any cable.

Before connecting the power supply to the mains-supply, check the supply voltage with the label on the
power supply. Using an improper main voltage will destroy the power supply and could damage the
detector.

Make sure the cables are connected and properly secured.

Avoid pressure or tension on the cables.

Opening the detector, the detector control system or the power supply housing without explicit instructions
from DECTRIS Ltd. will void the warranty.

The embedded Linux operating system on the detector control system has customized software for
controlling the MYTHEN detector system. Do not make any changes to the Linux operating system without
explicit instructions from DECTRIS Ltd.
