How to Read HPGe Thermistor
Make sure detector high voltage is turned off
Unplug pre-amp power
Unscrew detector electronics casing
Slide electronics casing towards the crystal end of the detector
Turn multimeter to resistance (Ω) setting
Measure resistance across the white/black wires the exit the white nylon 4 pinned terminal
Check resistance in tables below for corresponding detector temperature
