Personnel Safety Interlock (PSI) System
The Personnel Safety Interlock (PSI) System ensures the safety of all personnel inside the experimental station or optical hutch. It operates through a mandatory search procedure to confirm that no one remains inside before X-ray radiation is activated.
✔ Requires a full personnel search before enabling X-rays
✔ Prevents radiation if the search is incomplete
✔ Provides safety reminders when opening or closing the hutch
This system helps maintain a secure and safe working environment for everyone.

✔ Emergency Stop buttons are located inside each hutch, near every
door, and at the main Hutch Interlock panel.
✔ Press and hold to stop X-rays or combined radiation immediately.
✔ Designed for quick response to ensure personnel safety during
unexpected situations
