The ORTEC part number for the low-energy filter is:

DETECTIVE-X-ACC-RCFILTER Graded low-energy shield (colored red)
As with the collimators, the neutron detector, and the passive detector cover, the low-energy filter is easy to
install and remove. The Detective X maintains different ambient background correction files for
configurations with and without the low-energy filter. The filter’s connector (Figure 19) identifies it to the
Detective X. That information is added to the N42.42 files, and the correct ambient background file is used.
Note that before first use of the filter, an ambient background measurement must be taken with the filter
installed (see Section 4.14).
2.8 OPERATING CAUTIONS AND NOTES
WARNING The power adapter/charger must not be exposed to water. When in use, it should be
placed on a dry, flat, dust-free surface. When not in use, it should be disconnected
from the AC power supply and covered to protect it from moisture and dirt. Any
covering used in storage must be completely removed from the power/charging
adapter before connecting the power adapter to the input power source. Make sure
the power connections for both the Detective X and power adapter are clean and dry
before connecting to the input power supply.
CAUTION The Detective X enclosure is waterproof. If all covers and seals, including the detector
cover (or neutron detector), are in place, the instrument will operate even after brief
immersion in water.
CAUTION To avoid damaging the cooler and to comply with transportation regulations, be sure
the cooler is turned off before shipping the Detective X. The unit can be shipped as
soon as the cooler is turned off; there is no need to wait until the detector warms up.
CAUTION Breaking the seal on the case voids the warranty . The Detective X contains no user-
serviceable parts . Only the batteries can be changed/replaced. The Detective X is to
be opened only by ORTEC-authorized service personnel.
CAUTION The Detective X is designed for use at temperatures between -20°C to +50°C (-4°F to
+122°F). It dissipates heat from the cooler via a heat sink enclosed in the fan cooling
tunnel. The variable-speed fan pulls air in from the rear panel and exhausts from vents
in the bottom of the enclosure. Do not place the Detective X upright in mud, loose
soil or sand, standing water, dense grass; or on thick carpet or any surface that
restricts this airflow. On surfaces such as these, the unit may be placed on its side to
allow proper airflow. Whenever possible, avoid placing it on a warm or hot surface,
such as sun-heated pavement, for extended periods. Do not leave the instrument in
a hot vehicle.
 If unintended changes are made on a Detective X screen and the user does not remember how to
restore original value(s), the safest course of action may be to cycle the power off/on rather than
pressing the Back button.
 T
he integrated computer that controls the ORTEC Detective X is intended exclusively for the tasks
detailed in this operator’s manual. Using this computer for any other purpose may void the warranty .

Keep all rear-panel covers and caps in place, when not in use, to prevent ingress by dust and water.
