This document has three principal purposes. First, it describes the PMTs for the PierreçAuger Surface Detector and the requirements for these PMTs as well as the test results for 153 PMTs from the preproduction run. The test data from Photonis is presented and compared with test data from the UCLA test stand. We discuss the properties of the PMTs.  Second, we describe in detail the PMT test stand, software and data handling for the system. This section is a user´s manual for scientists and engineers who will be working with the test stand.  Third, this document contains the quality assurance plan to the PMT testing including detailed procedures for operators of the test stand.Archivo completo confidencial.
