6.5  Dose

Internal tubes and Sv-probes use three digits with floating decimal point and variable unit. With the

6150AD1/2 the smallest step is 1 µSv, and with the 6150AD3/4/5/6 the smallest step is 0.01 µSv.
With pulse probes, the smallest step is always 1 (one pulse). The 6150AD1/2 indicates integer pulse

counts up 9999, whereas the 6150AD3/4/5/6 uses three digits with floating decimal point and variable

unit.

The table shows the 6150AD’s entire range. The upper limit of the range will automatically be restricted

to the dose range of the corresponding detector (internal tube or probe).
When exceeding the highest range, the flashing full scale value (»9...9«) will indicate overrange.

6.6  Dose Alarm Threshold (6150AD3/4/5/6 only)

This section only applies to the 6150AD3/4/5/6, because the 6150AD1/2 does not provide dose alarm

thresholds. The smallest step is always 1 µSv or 1 (one pulse), respectively.
