Technical Specifications and Operating Procedure. PILATUS3 S 6M-NSRRC Detector System. Version: V1.0 19/33
4.3. Cooling unit
A cooling unit is required for the operation of the PILATUS3 S 6M-NSRRC detector system.
The tubes and the detector are equipped with self-sealing valves to avoid dripping when connecting or
disconnecting the tubes.
There is no fixed limitation on the length of the tubing.
Before operating the cooling unit, please read the user manual of the cooling unit.
When connecting or disconnecting the cooling hoses, turn off the detector and the cooling unit.
When operating the detector, the cooling unit must be always on.
Use opaque tubing to avoid the growth of algae.

In-vacuum
Operating
temperature The cooling unit has always to be
set to a temperature of 23°C. Prior to and during pumping down and venting
the cooling unit has to be set to a temperature
of 23°C for at least 30 minutes.
Prior to powering up and operating the detector
in-vacuum the cooling unit has to be set to a
temperature of 10°C for at least 30 minutes.
Operating
pressure 0.5 bar 0.5 bar
Do not set the temperature of the cooling unit below the recommended operating temperature.
Condensing moisture can develop and damage the detector.
Good air circulation is essential to prevent internal heat build-up and prolong the life of its
components. Place the detector in a location with adequate air circulation. Make sure the detector has
enough space for proper ventilation (minimum wall distance: 170 mm). Do not operate the detector in a
closed environment.
