Connection Specifications
5.1 Electrical Connection
ARL EQUINOX X-Ray diffractometers have an Ingress Protection rating of IP20. This means
that they are protected against the ingress of solid particles with a diameter over 12 mm (e.g.:
a finger). ARL EQUINOX X-Ray diffractometers do not have any protection against the
ingress of liquids.
All connections to the instrument have to comply with class SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
according to norm EN 61010-1:2010.

The ARL EQUINOX 100 complies with overvoltage category II (OVCII).
The ARL EQUINOX 100 complies with insulation class 1.
5.2 Cooling Fluid
The cooling circuit is integrated directly to the instrument. The composition of the cooling fluid
is based on a mixture of distilled water and 6% of ethylene glycol.
Note
The cooling fluid level check should be performed regularly.
5.3 Gases
ARL EQUINOX curved position sensitive detector (PSD) belongs to the family of gaseous
ionization detectors. A gas cylinder has to be constantly connected to the instrument in order
to enable stable and optimal working conditions for a long term use.
DANGER!
FLAMMABLE GAS
The gas mixture contains ethane which is a flammable gas. Never place the
instrument near an open flame or in an excessively hot environment. The instrument
must not be installed in an ATEX explosive hazard area
