Preparing the Installation

during
transport and assembly of the shield.
IMPORTANT
Size and position of the applicable measuring range are specified in the
project planning phase and determined by means of drawings, sketches or
written notes. During installation, these specifications must be strictly
observed since deviations may lead to malfunction of the measuring system.
To avoid an unnecessary exposure to radiation, the handling period of the source
(even if it is shielded) must be kept as short as possible during installation. It is
therefore recommended to perform the following steps prior to delivery of the
source:
•
Installation planning (incl. estimation of radiation exposure)
•
Instruction of the employees
•
Organising and cleaning the installation site
•
Preparing the required tools and hoisting devices
•
Removing all obstacles which might hinder the installation of the shield or
the source.
