Caution

The four M6 screws must not intrude into the detector more than 16 mm.
5.3. Grounding of the Detector
Caution
#12
The main plug of the detector control unit and the power supply of the detector have to be connected to a
grounded power outlet.
Although the detector might be already grounded via the mounting bolts, the detector should be grounded additionally via
the functional ground connector at the back in order to establish a defined grounding.
5.4. Connection to Dry Air or Nitrogen
Caution
#13
Humidity might damage the detector. Make sure that the detector is operated within the allowed ambient
conditions (see section 3.3).
The PILATUS3 S 6M detector has to be connected to a dry air (or nitrogen) source to avoid humidity and condensation
damage when it is outside of the storage box. For information on system connections, refer to chapter 4 and for storage of
the detector system refer to chapter 7.
