1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•Carefully read these operating instructions completely
before operating this instrument. This is necessary to
avoid damage as well as for user-safety.
•Only use the instrument for the purpose for which it was
designed.
•Only use the instrument in dry rooms in which there is no
risk of explosion.
•Never cover up the vent slots of the experimental set-up.
•Do not open up the instrument.
•Do not connect other instruments to the unit than those
intended for it.
•Take care that no liquid penetrates in through the hous-
ing openings.
•Switch the unit off after usage, as it is not designed for
permanent operation. The maximum recommended daily
operating time is 10 hours. Exceeding this does not rep-
resent a safety risk but can negatively influence the ser-
vice life of X-ray tubes.
•Take care when drawing out a tube insert that has been
in operation as internal parts of it could be very hot.
•Handle with Care

2 PURPOSE AND CHARACTERISTICS
Each plug-in consists of a pre-adjusted X-ray tube in a
sheet steel housing with a handle. All plug-ins are sup-
plied ready for use in the basic XR 4.0 X-ray expert
unit.
•Pre-adjusted tubes with quick-change technol-
ogy
•Hot parts contact protection
•Housing with ratchet and pawl mechanism and
2 safety contact pins which only unlock for tube
operation when a plug-in has been correctly
inserted.
3 FUNCTIONAL AND OPERATING ELEMENTS
The following ready for use plug-ins are available:
• Plug-in with Cu X-ray tube, article no. 09057-51
• Plug-in with Mo X-ray tube, article no. 09057-61
• Plug-in with Fe X-ray tube, article no. 09057-71
• Plug-in with W X-ray tube, article no. 09057-81
(For wavelengths and energies of the characteristic X-ray
lines refer to the Technical specifications and the Appendix).
Each plug-in consists of a factory-adjusted X-ray tube in a
sheet steel housing. To prevent damage from overheating,
each tube is enclosed in a Duran glass cylinder which has
side tubes for forced air cooling via the fan in the basic de-
vice.
Each plug-in is equipped with an HV plug and a plug for tube
cathode heating. Tube operating parameters can so be
picked up via the corresponding sockets of the basic device.
Two metal pins at the sides release a safety micro-switch
which safeguards the tube plug-in chamber on correct inser-
tion of an plug-in.
4 NOTES ON OPERATION
Handle with care!
First start up:
X-ray tubes are not to be operated under full power on their
first start up. For the running-in of a tube we recommend that
you first operate it for a period of 10 minutes with a maximum
beam current but with an acceleration voltage which is not
above 25 kV.
This procedure must be repeated when a tube has not been
used for a period of some weeks.
• Minimum life time of the tube: 500 operating hours
5 HANDLING
Handle with care!
Inserting and changing X-ray tube inserts:
Stop X-ray tube operation before carrying out a change
of plug-ins.
Plug-ins must be removed without tilting them. To insert an
plug-in, fit the guide tabs in the guide rails without tilting the
plug-in. Ensure that all plug connections have secure contact
by pushing the plug-in in to the stop.

9 NOTES ON THE GUARANTEE
We guarantee the instrument supplied by us for a period of
24 months within the EU, or for 12 months outside of the EU.
Excepted from the guarantee are damages that result from
disregarding the Operating Instructions, from improper han-
dling of the instrument or from natural wear.
The manufacturer can only be held responsible for the func-
tion and technical safety characteristics of the instrument,
when maintenance, repairs and alterations to the instrument
are only carried out by the manufacturer or by personnel who
have been explicitly authorized by him to do so.
10 WASTE DISPOSAL
