To change a battery:
1. Loosen the captive thumbscrews on the rear-panel battery hatch.
2. Grasp the pull tab loop on the end of the battery and exert a steady pull (do not yank) until it slides out.
3. Orient the fresh battery so the grooves on the side will mate with the charging blades in the battery
socket.
4. Slide the battery into the socket, and gently but firmly push to seat it on the charging blades. Do not force
the battery into the socket; recheck its orientation if it does not seat easily.
Typical battery lifetime is 3-5 years; see Section B.7 for information on replacing the batteries. See also the
discussion on shipping Li-ion batteries in Section 2.9.1.
2.4.2 Vehicle Power Adapter Cable
The 12-V vehicle power adapter cable lets the user charge the Detective X from a standard 12-V automobile
power receptacle. The plug allows the retention force to be adjusted with a slider on the side of the plug (see
Figure 23). Adjust it for a given receptacle so that the plug fits snugly, but not so tightly that inserting the
adapter deforms the receptacle. This will provide adequate electrical contact and minimize heating of the
connector. The adapter cable is fused at 10 A. Before using it, inspect the receiving receptacle for damage
and excessive wear. Do not try to power the Detective X from a worn or damaged receptacle.

2.4.3 External Battery Power Option
ORTEC also offers an interface cable for external 2590-type batteries, commonly used for military
applications, that allow the Detective X to operate for up to a total of 16 hours without external power or a
battery swap. The part number is DETECTIVE-X-ACC-2590-CABLE.
Please note that the Detective X transport case is not designed for the shipment of these high capacity
batteries.
2.5 INSTRUMENT ENCLOSURE
The Detective X enclosure is molded from high-impact polycarbonate that absorbs mechanical shock without
cracking or permanently deforming, does not degrade under exposure to ultraviolet light (direct sunlight),
and boasts an F1 rating per UL 746C. With all covers and caps in place, the Detective X enclosure is watertight.
The Detective X is not certified for use in explosive atmospheres.
An air plenum through the middle of the instrument provides an exit path for waste heat from the cryogenic
cooler. The instrument has a variable-speed cooling fan that pulls cool air through the back of the enclosure
