2. During operation both the X-ray tube and the heat sink of the CCD
power supply become hot. In normal use they are located inside a
cabinet and hot parts are not accessible. During maintenance
periods, however, it may be necessary to override the interlock so
that adjustments can be made. Therefore great care must be taken
to avoid touching either the X-ray tube or the heat sink of the CCD
power supply when they are operating and for a period of 20
minutes after operation.
2.8 Vacuum
WARNING
When handling and using X-ray tubes and the CCD detector,
particular care should be taken to avoid injury caused by possible
implosion of the vacuum tube. Wear eye protection.
2.9 High Pressures
WARNING
Know the law about high pressure gas cylinders and follow it. High-
pressure cylinders are often used to store gases (typically at
pressures up to 200 bar). Most countries have laws about using them.
•Chain cylinders to a fixed object or keep them in specially
designed trolleys
•Only use approved and tested high pressure fittings
Gas cylinders become dangerous projectiles if they are ruptured or the valve is knocked off. They
can break through thick walls or travel hundreds of metres (by rocket propulsion).

component parts of the system are given in the third party manuals supplied with the system. These
manuals should be read and understood before operating the system.
3.3 System Overview
Xcalibur and Gemini systems are single crystal diffractometers that use the property of X-ray
diffraction to determine the crystal structure of materials. They are intended for use with single
crystals of chemical substances (inorganic, organic or organo-metallic), mineralogical and biological
samples. Xcalibur and Gemini systems may also be used in the analysis of powder samples.
Intended samples should have a maximum unit cell dimension of 100 Angstrom in any direction for
small molecule Xcalibur or Gemini diffractometers and 500 Angstrom for macromolecular Xcalibur
or Gemini PX systems.
Xcalibur or Gemini systems may be used with crystal conditioning devices. Specifically, low and
high temperature attachments and high pressure cells. Some minor modifications may be required
by Oxford Diffraction to enable use of these devices.

CCD at any time.
Ambient temperature during operation 18 – 28 °C
Stability of ambient temperature during operation ±1 °C
Storage temperature >10°C
<40°C
Relative humidity <80 % non – condensing
Location Clean, dust free environment
>2m from air conditioning or heating units
Floor covering Conductive or, if carpeted, covered with
electrostatic mats
Floor strength Able to bear the system weight of about 500kg
over an area of 0.64m2.
4.2 Services
4.2.1 Electrical Supply

Min flow rate 1.8 l/min
Pressure 0.5 - 5 bar gauge
Temperature stability ±5 °C
Temperature range 10 – 20 °C
Composition Filtered, without deposits, chemically neutral and
optically clear
4.2.3 X-ray Tube Cooling Water
In addition to the mains supply water outlined above, the Customer will also need to supply suitable
water for the closed circuit water cooling of the X-Ray tube(s). This water should meet the following
criteria:-
60L filtered (<10µm)
10 µS/cm < specific conductivity < 250 µS/cm
1 D < hardness in German Degrees < 4 D
7.5 <acidity (pH) < 9.5
In practise this can usually be achieved by using a mixture of demineralised water and tap water.
The pH can be modified by adding NaOH to the water whenever required. Whenever possible use

5.2 Installation and Setting to Work
5.2.1 Preparation of Site and Services
5.2.1.1 Environmental Requirements
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all local building and safety regulations are
met.
Ensure that the environmental conditions of the installation site conform to the requirements stated
in the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
5.2.1.2 System Layout
Adequate space is required around the system for servicing. The minimum clearance from the walls
and a suggested system layout are shown in drawing number OD-01-00-15.
When the low temperature option is fitted an extra 100 cm space on the left-hand side of the system
is required.
Unpacked, the largest subassembly will fit through a door aperture of 85 cm. Check the door
aperture to ensure the system can be assembled in its designated area.
5.2.1.3 Electrical Services
A 3-phase 63 A supply with one 32A and two 16A single-phase outlets. One of the 16A outlets can
be used to supply the additional four single-phase outlets that are required as described in drawing
OD-01-00-015-C. For Gemini systems which have 2 High Voltage Generators, two 32A single
phase outlets will be required.
Use only the power cables supplied.
Do not connect the electrical power supply circuit to any other devices. Limit the electrical noise
in the system by attaching the earth cable exclusively to an external earth terminal with a
resistance of less than 0.5 ohms.
Fit a line voltage regulator if the power supply voltage fluctuates more than ±10 %.
Locate the mains outlet on the wall behind the system. The mains outlet should be of the circuit
breaker type. (Outlet and connecting plugs are not supplied). The mains plug should be readily
accessible by the operator when the equipment has been installed.
In areas where the mains power supply is unreliable an ‘uninterruptible power supply’ (UPS) is
recommended. The UPS should have specifications of 10 kVA with 3-phase input and single phase
output.

CCD detector cooling
The CCD detector is water cooled by the KMW200CCD Chiller. Ten metre long water pipes are
supplied with the system.
The minimum required distance between the KMW200CCD and the KMW3000 or the electronics
rack is 30 cm.
X-ray Tube and Generator Cooling
A cooling system is required to dissipate the heat produced by the X-ray tube. A closed circuit
cooling system should be installed to minimise the effects of particles, low pressure and water
temperature fluctuation on the performance of the system from local tap water supply.
The KMW3000C is a closed circuit cooling system suitable for this purpose. It is supplied with two
10 metre long hoses and 8mm inside diameter. The maximum distance between the KMW3000C
chiller and the system is 10 metres. The distance between the water supply and the chiller is not

limited but the supply must deliver 0.5 – 5 bar gauge pressure with a minimum 1.8 litres/min flow
and a gravity drain with an elevation that does not exceed 1metre.
The water supply should have a wall mounted shut off valve.
If the X-ray tube and generator are not to be cooled by the KMW3000C Chiller, the cooling system
selected must have a flow sensor and thermal switch to monitor the cooling and act as safety
devices for the X-ray tube and generator. It must also meet the following requirements.
Min flow rate 1.8 Litres/min
Pressure 0.5 - 5 bar gauge
Temperature stability +/- 5ºC
Temperature range 10-20 ºC
CAUTION
There is no flow sensor or thermal switch inside the system to protect internal
components against improper cooling. These are provided inside the KMW3000C.
The X-ray tube warranty does not cover damage due to improper cooling water.
5.2.1.5 Low Temperature Option
Occasional access to a suitable high vacuum pump, ideally 70 Litres/sec turbo molecular pump is
required to periodically evacuate the Cryojet head and the heater leg.
To demonstrate the operation of the Cryojet, a minimum 100 litres of liquid nitrogen are
required during the installation. This should be delivered no later than the morning after
installation commences. If the autofill option has been purchased this will need to be a
minimum of 120 litres.
The customer should supply a suitable rack/ table for both the ILM and the Cryojet controller.
5.2.1.6 CCD Camera Pumping
Occasional access to a suitable high vacuum pump, ideally 70 Litres/sec turbo molecular pump, is
required to periodically evacuate the CCD camera. (Only one pump is required between the Cryojet
and CCD)
5.2.1.7 Helijet Option
The customer should provide a minimum of 50 litres of liquid helium and a minimum of 1 full helium
gas cylinder of at least 99.99% grade helium gas in order for the operation of the Helijet to be
demonstrated.
A turbo molecular pump, capacity 70 litres/sec is REQUIRED before each use of the Helijet, and
must be supplied if not purchased as part of the system.
5.2.1.8 PX Ultra systems
The customer should provide 1 full helium gas cylinder of at least 99.95% grade helium gas in order
that the Ultra Optics can be demonstrated. The cylinder should be supplied with a suitable
Regulator capable of supplying gas at pressures <0.5bar.
