Temperature and Humidity
Control
The PILATUS 1M detector head has 3 combined temperature and humidity
sensors.
The temperature and humidity control shuts down the power of the detector
modules when the humidity or the temperature of the different sensors
exceeds or falls below the following limits:
The fan and the communication with the PC will remain active after a
temperature shut down (only shuts down the power of the modules).
To start the detector correctly, please refer to section 7.1 and execute the
correct startup procedure.
If the humidity is outside the specified range, the software will
prevent powering up the modules and exit with a corresponding message.
