2.6.2. Replacing the Internal Battery
The internal battery typically lasts 3–5 years. See Chapter 10 for instructions on replacing it.
Note that the battery hatch is the only part of the Detective-EX case that can be opened without
voiding the warranty.
2.7. Operating Cautions and Notes
!
Remember that there are no user-serviceable parts inside the Detective-EX. Opening the
housing (except the battery hatch to replace the internal battery) voids the warranty.
!
The cooler and detector are shock-sensitive, with a maximum tolerance of 20 g, so be
careful not to drop the Detective-EX. A shock in excess of this value will void the
warranty.
!
The Detective-EX is splash-resistant, but not watertight. To avoid equipment failure, pro-
tect it from prolonged or heavy rainfall and from immersion. Heat is dissipated from the
cooler via the Detective-EX baseplate; therefore, do not place the instrument in mud,
loose soil or sand, standing water, dense grass; or on thick carpet. Wrap or cover the unit
to keep it clean and dry. Where possible, avoid placing it on warm surfaces, such as sun-
heated pavement, for extended periods. The front-panel memory card slots and rear panel
connectors include dust caps; keep the card slots and all unused connectors capped.
!
The docking station and PAC-II contain a portion of the battery-recharging system and
should not be exposed to water. When using the docking station, be sure to keep the
underside clear of obstructions so the fans can function properly. Both charger bases
should ideally be placed on a dry, flat, level, and dust-free surface. When not in use, the
charger base can be disconnected from the ac power supply, then covered to protect it
from moisture and dirt. Any covering must be completely removed before reconnecting
the docking station to either charger base to the input power source. Make sure the
recharging connector on both the Detective-EX and charger base are clean and dry before
connecting to an the input power supply.
!
The Detective-EX is designed for use at temperatures between 0 and +40°C and at a
relative humidity of <90% at 35°C, non-condensing.
!
The HPGe detector assembly is designed to be continuously cooled. If the instrument is
turned off and allowed to warm between uses, it must be cooled and brought to opera-
tional status (
Status: Ready
) for at least 48 hours every month. Failure to do this may
result in degraded performance or cooling system failure. Read Section 9.7.
