COOL-X Operating Manual

Radiation Precautions

The COOL-X is intended to generate x-rays up to 35 keV during normal heating

and cooling phases. However, ambient or room temperature fluctuations will also

result in producing a small amount of x-rays.

WHEN NOT IN USE OR IN STORAGE, ALWAYS KEEP THE

PROTECTIVE METAL COVER ATTACHED TO THE FRONT OF THE

COOL-X.

The COOL-X normally emits x-rays in the forward output direction. However,

radiation in other directions is possible and should be addressed with shielding

and/or monitoring in the final application.

Caution

This device produces X-Rays when energized.

To be operated only by qualified personnel.

Radiation levels external to the x-ray generator housing with the cover on does

not exceed 2.5 mrem/h measured 5 cm from the surface of the housing in

accordance with Requirements 5.2.2.1.1 and 5.2.2.2.2 of the NBS Handbook for

Radiation Safety for X-Ray Diffraction and Fluorescence Analysis Equipment

(for more information, see http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/radhlth/pdf/xdfgehb.pdf).

Beryllium Window Caution

The front of the COOL-X is made of a 10 mils (250 µm) Beryllium window.

DO NOT REMOVE the metal cover from the COOL-X until ready to use. The

Be window is extremely brittle and can shatter easily. Do not have any object

come into contact with the window. Do not touch the window because oil from

the fingers will cause it to oxidize. The window cannot be repaired. If the

window is broken the COOL-X element must be replaced.

Beryllium windows damaged by improper handling will not be covered by

the warranty.

Caution

The COOL-X is only one component of an X-ray instrument. It is the

responsibility of the user, the OEM customer, or experimenter to provide a fail-

safe metal enclosure to prevent escaping radiation while using this product. The

final product (turn-key system) must comply with local government regulations to

protect personnel from exposure to radiation. Amptek Inc. bears no responsibility

for the incorrect use of this product.
