4.8 Connect the Detector-Controller Cable: Non-Vacuum
Applications
Perform this procedure when using the camera in a non-vacuum environment. When
operating the camera outside of a vacuum, the camera typically has the visible nose
installed. If the visible nose is not installed, refer to
Section D.2, Replace the Open Nose
with the Visible Nose , on page 106 for installation information.
NOTE:
Turn off Controller power and Host Computer power before
connecting or disconnecting the Detector-Controller cable.
This procedure assumes that a cable with slide latches at both ends is being used (e.g.,
6050-0321.) When using a different style of cable, follow the instructions for Vacuum
applications (refer to
Section 4.9, Connect the Detector-Controller Cable: Vacuum
Applications , on page 35,) but do not change the visible nose to the open nose.
Perform the following procedure to connect the detector-controller cable for
non-vacuum applications:
1. Verify that the Controller power is off.
2. Connect male end of the Detector-Controller cable to the Detector port on the
back of the Controller.
3. Move the slide latch over to lock the connector in place. Refer to Section 7.13,
Secure the Detector-Controller Cable Slide Latch , on page 87 for additional
information.
4. Connect the female end of the cable to the camera.
5. Slide the latch until it locks on the posts.
4.9 Connect the Detector-Controller Cable: Vacuum Applications
Perform this procedure when using the camera in a vacuum chamber. Before operating
the camera in a vacuum chamber, you will need to remove the visible nose that was
installed on the camera before it was shipped. Refer to
Section D.1, Replace the Visible
Nose with the Open Nose , on page 103 for more information. Two cables are used in
this procedure: one for inside the vacuum chamber and the other for connection to the
ST-133 outside of the chamber.
NOTE:
Turn off Controller power and Host Computer power before
connecting or disconnecting the Detector-Controller cable.
CAUTION!
!
The 3-foot long vacuum-compatible cable is FRAGILE and
should be handled very carefully to prevent wire breakage at
the connector ends. Never pull on the cable wires when
connecting the cable to or disconnecting it from the cable
connectors on the vacuum flange, or the camera.
