How to Read HPGe Thermistor
Make sure detector high voltage is turned off
Unplug pre-amp power
Unscrew detector electronics housing
Arrows pointing to screws on detector electronics housing
Slide electronics housing 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
