Improper use of the DECTRIS detector system can compromise its safety and its functionality is no longer
guaranteed.
2.1. Vacuum Option
Caution
#3
Only detectors purchased with optional vacuum compatibility may be operated in vacuum. Warranty void
otherwise! When using the detector in vacuum strictly follow the in-vacuum instructions given in this docu-
ment.
For detector systems purchased with the optional vacuum compatibility, the detector can be operated in vacuum. To check
if the vacuum compatibility option has been purchased for your detector, please refer to the order confirmation, or, check
for the presence of the label ”vacuum tested” on the serial number sticker at the detector backside. A check in the box of
”vacuum tested” implies the available vacuum option of the PILATUS3 R CdTe 100K-M detector.
Please avoid organic materials and highly out-gassing compounds inside the vacuum chamber as they tend to deposit on
sensitive detector components and may affect the functionality of the detector.
A vacuum feedthrough set is optional available. Please contact [email protected] for further information.
Warning
#1
The PILATUS3 100K-M detector electronics unit is not vacuum compatible. Do not use it in vacuum.
