5. d for your application There are no user serviceable parts in the circuit board housing of the 914 High voltage is present inside the housing Replacing the photomultiplier tube To avoid possible damage to the sensitive photomultiplier tube it is suggested that the new PMT be kept in darkness as much as possible until it is installed in its socket and the housing is closed Be careful not to touch the photocathode area of the PMT UV glass envelope Finger oils may deposit on the surface and these may emit fluorescence when illuminated by incident light If you do touch the PMT envelope wipe the glass clean with a lint free tissue dampened with methanol and then with a clean dry tissue When removing or installing the PMT carefully grasp the base of the PMT with thumb and index finger and pull down or push up on the PMT while gently moving it side to side by small angles Do not move the PMT through large angles as you can crack the ceramic insulator base of the PMT socket You will need 2 5 mm and 7 64 inch hex keys Allen wrench ball end preferred 1 Exit FelixGX if it is open 2 Turn off the power on the ASOC 10 box 3 Disconnect all cables from the 914 housing 4 Dim or turn off the room lights An unpowered PMT exposed to bright light can have a high dark count that may take several minutes to hours to dissipate 5 Use a 2 5 mm hex key to remove the four screws mounting the 914 flange to the slit assembly and pull t
