2.8.2 Mounting an Array Detector to the IsoPlane
The array detector mounting plate is mounted to the entrance port of the IsoPlane.
1. Remove the shipping cover from the mounting plate.
2. If the detector has a three-slotted flange (3.60” bolt circle):
a. If the detector has a three-slotted flange, screw three
#10-32 1/2 hex head bolts into the plate and leave 1/4" of
thread exposed.
b. Mount the detector to the plate and position the detector so the
text on the back of the detector is right-reading (i.e., not upside-
down). The exception to this orientation is the PI-MAX2:
1024x256 which should be mounted with the text upside-down.
c. Tighten down the bolts with a 5/16” open end wrench.
3. If the detector is a PyLoN or SPEC-10 LN detector without shutter, you will need to
remove the shroud at the front of the detector, mount the
shroud to the plate, and then resecure the shroud to the
detector. It may be easier to remove the mounting plate
from the IsoPlane for this operation.
a. Using a 3/32” ball head hex wrench, remove the 4
socket head screws that secure the shroud to the nose of the
detector.
b. Carefully slide the shroud off.
c. Remove the mounting plate from the IsoPlane.
d. Place the front of the shroud against the front of the plate and orient the nose until the
appropriate hole pattern matches the mounting holes on the plate.
e. From the inside of the shroud screw three 10-32 x 1/4”, flat head stainless steel
screws through the shroud and into the mounting plate.
f. Carefully mount the shroud and plate assembly onto the front of the detector and
resecure the shroud with the previously removed 4 socket head screws.
g. Re-mount the plate to the IsoPlane. The detector should be upright.
Note: Refer to the detector’s system manual for specific instructions on how to mount the array
detector to the mounting plate. These instructions vary with the detector nose design.
