Servicing the Detector

The ion-chamber detector contains pressurized inert
gas. The ion chamber itself is not serviceable and must
be returned to the factory for service. Instructions
follow for “Detector Removal/Replacement.”

However, a qualified technician can troubleshoot and
service the detector’s amplifier assembly. Instructions
follow for that procedure as well. Some precautions are
needed when handling the detector/amplifier assembly.

It is important to keep the interior of the
detector/amplifier dry. Moisture on the high-impedance
components will cause leakage currents. If the
amplifier lid is opened, it is important to see that warm,
dry air is introduced into the amplifier before replacing
the gasket lid.
