3.2 Installation
3.2.1 Mounting the Delayline Detector
The detector is transported under vacuum. Proceed as follows, to install it into your vacuum chamber:
• Vent the transport container
carefully and slowly (use N2 for venting if possible)
.
• Remove the transport container
carefully
.
• Before installing the detector to your chamber, check the front side of the MCP stack for particles.
The microchannel plates in front of the detector should be protected from exposure to
particle contamination. Particles that stick to the plate can be removed by using a single-
hair brush carefully and/or with dry nitrogen. Reading the instructions “microchannel
plates” in
is strongly recommended.
• Install the detector into your vacuum chamber.
• Keep the vacuum container in case that the detector must be sent back for repair. It can also be used
to store the detector when not installed in a vacuum chamber.
