2 Radiation Safety
Radiation safety can be separated into two categories:
• Instrument: Bruker AXS is authorized to provide installation, service, and preventive maintenance of
all Bruker analytical X-ray systems. Bruker AXS is also authorized to provide training and
consultation on these systems' operation and safety features.
• State, Province, and/or Commonwealth: Bruker AXS is NOT authorized - and is strictly forbidden -
to provide consultation services regarding your local state, province, and/or commonwealth
regulatory requirements.
You, as the customer, are required to contact the agency in your state or province that regulates the
X-ray instrument's registration, receipt, and/or use (i.e., your local state or province may or may not
require you to have a Radiation Safety Officer on-site, use standard operating procedures, use
dosimetry badges, conduct an annual radiation check, etc.).

4 Installation Site and Operating Conditions

Installation site and operating conditions

Installation site
Clearance around the instrument
Room operation-range temperature
Maximum temperature gradient
Relative humidity
Heat Dissipation (maximum)
Static electricity elimination (to avoid
adverse effects on instrument electronics)
Fuse protection on the installation site
Operating altitude
Provide sufficient floor space, see schematic below.
Also include adequate space for the PC.
70.0 cm (27.6") recommended. Although the
instrument has wheels, it should be accessible from all
sides for proper servicing and airflow.
Maximum: 15.0 °C - 30.0 °C (59.0 °F - 86.0 °F)
Recommended: 20.0 °C - 25.0 °C (68.0 °F - 77.0 °F)
Avoid direct sunlight.
1.0 °C (1.8 °F) per hour
20 ‑ 80 %, non-condensing
Dissipated heat must be removed by a ventilation or
air-cooling system. Cooling air should flow around the
instrument without restriction. lf possible, locate the air
conditioning and heating ducts so that their airflow is
not aimed directly at the instrument.
We recommend a clean, dust-free environment.
Any carpeting in the area should be conductive. lf the
area is carpeted with non-conductive carpet, we
recommend that you place anti-static mats over the
conventional carpeting in the area around the
instrument.

Heat dissipation

Component Heat dissipation to air

Enclosure controller and goniomete r control Max . 800 W (2730 btu/hr)
electronics
lµS X- ray generator Max. 160 W (546 btu/hr)
PHOTON detector unit and power supply chassis 240 – 700 W (820 btu/hr)
Low-temperature device (optional) Heat dissipation may vary. Refer to the
documentation included with your particular low-
temperature device.
Computer Max. 165 W (563 btu/hr)
Table 4.1: Heat dissipation to air by component

For 110 VAC 1-phase configurations, the supplied step-up transformer's heat dissipation is
negligible.

lµS Optics and Vacuum

Because the lµS optics are not field-serviceable or cleanable, the optics housing is evacuated to a few
millibars to avoid contamination. The lµS generator contains a vacuum gauge that prevents the shutter
from being opened when the shutter housing is not evacuated (to avoid oxidation of the optics in the
presence of X-rays).

5 Electrical Requirements
• Use the supplied power cable to connect the instrument. See the following table for power
requirements (including the computer and peripherals).

lf the power line voltage at your site fluctuates outside the values in the table below, a compatible
line voltage conditioner or regulator may be necessary. Check with your site's electrical coordinator.

• On the wall behind the instrument, connect power from the building mains to a labeled direct-wired
circuit breaker/disconnect box so that power to the instrument can be interrupted if necessary.
• Wire the room air conditioner and any external pumps to a different electrical circuit than that used
for the instrument. High starting currents from their motors may adversely affect line voltage stability.
• To limit electrical noise in the system, connect the system chassis ground to an external grounding
terminal. Note that only the instrument can use this ground, and the ground resistance must not
exceed 0.5 Ohm. For optimum performance, make this connection within 3.7 m (12') of the rear of
the instrument.
• lf the supply neutral is grounded, it should have the same potential as the earth point on the
instrument.

7 Changing the System’s Location

With each permanent location change, the following points must be considered:
• Before permanently changing the location of the system, please consult your local Bruker AXS
Service Representative.
• All mechanical vibrations are to be avoided during system transport. Otherwise, sensitive physical
components may be damaged.
• The mains connection at the new location must meet the requirements given in this Pre-Installation
Guide.
• At the new location, make sure that all operation permits are strictly observed.
• All documentation (e.g., manuals and other safety certificates) must be moved together with the
instrument.

8 Final Check
You, the customer, are the system operator and responsible for meeting all applicable building and
safety codes. Once the pre-installation utilities are connected, get certification from an approved
authority that the installation meets all applicable building and safety codes.
When all pre-installation work is finished, contact the Bruker AXS Service Department by telephone or
email to confirm that your site is ready for installation.
Upon receiving confirmation that your site is ready, Bruker AXS personnel or local Bruker AXS
representative will schedule the instrument installation.
