Here, the following components can be connected. The
names that are stated on the unit are printed in italics.
Lower line of the socket panel:
PC:
For the connection to the control PC via the “meas-
ure” USB 2.0 port.
Service
: For the connection of a specially configured PC
for updating the device settings and for diagnosis pur-
poses (for authorised specialist personnel only).
Display:
For the connection of a “Display Connect” RF
adapter (09057-19). It is used to display measurement
values and device parameters on the large-scale display
unit (07157-93).

rect connection to the socket panel inside the experiment
chamber).
N
2

For feeding in protective gas or for the connection to
a vacuum pump (direct connection to the socket panel
inside the experiment chamber).
Upper line of the socket panel:
X RED:
For connecting the X-ray energy detector 09058-
30 to the multi-channel analyser 13727-99; BNC signal
cable, supply cable (direct connection to the socket panel
inside the experiment chamber).
Aux:
Multi-pole socket for connecting various devices in
the experiment chamber (direct connection to the socket
panel inside the experiment chamber).
Max 600 V
: 2 x 4-mm-sockets, e.g. for charging the ca-
pacitor plates (order no. 09057-05) for dosimetry experi-
ments (direct connection to the socket panel inside the
experiment chamber).
6 OPERATION
This section describes the start-up of the unit and provides
an overview of its operation. Please read this section care-
fully in order to avoid problems or malfunctions.
6.1 Transport
Do not stress the drawer during transport. The device
should stand only on its feet.
During transport make sure that the sliding door is not
locked with the lock bar. If so, unlock the door using but-
ton IV, Fig 5 (switch on the device to use the button). The
door should not be open either – fix it with the S-LOCK.
6.2 Start-up
Connect the unit to the power supply via the supplied power
cable with an IEC connector. The socket for this purpose is
located at the back of the unit (see Fig. 9).

and the central ON/OFF switch
6.3 Starting the unit
The central ON/OFF switch of the unit is located at the back
of the unit (Fig. 9). Actuate this switch to switch the unit on.
After the start, the unit will perform an automatic self-test
(safety test). For this purpose, the operator must open the
sliding door completely one time and then close it again. The
device status that is thus determined will be indicated on the
display unit in the control panel via the colours of the but-
tons IV and V.
In order to open the sliding door, push it first against the stop
on the right-hand side.The S-Lock is now unlocked and the
door can be opened.
If the unit had been switched off with the door being locked,
the door will be automatically unlocked once the unit is
switched on. The operator must then open the radiation pro-
tection door once and close it again (check of the safety cir-
cuit; described in the operating instructions and on the dis-
play unit).
If the X-ray plug-in is completely inserted and the door is
closed with the use of the SLOCK the left LED of button IV is
glowing in green. All other LEDs are enlighted in white. Now,
the unit is ready for use.
If this is not the case, contact the Service of PHYWE for help.
Caution:
It is only possible to lock the sliding door, if the
plug in with the X-ray tube is completely inserted
into the device.
if you switch off the device while it is locked you
have to switch it on again to unlock the door.
When used for the first time, the X-ray tubes should not run
at full power. Instead, we recommend letting the tubes run for
approximately 10 minutes at the maximum beam current, but
with an acceleration voltage that is limited to 25
kV maximum.
This procedure must also be repeated if a tube has not been
used for several weeks.
