biodex ATOMLAB 500, Operation And Service Manual, Page: 7 / 212

Before Proceeding
NOTE: The warnings, cautions and instructions provided in this manual must be
read, followed and kept available for consultation at all times. Observing the
information, instructions and procedures presented throughout this manual is
essential for using the Atomlab 500 Dose Calibrator properly and safely.
Specific Cautions:
•
Allow only qualified, trained personnel to operate or service the Atomlab 500.
•
If the equipment is used in a manner other than specified in this operation
manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired and
results could be compromised.
•
The display operates on low voltage and the power supply auto-ranges from
100 to 240 volts input current. The detector steps up the current to
increase the high voltage required to operate the detector. (Never open the
detector. The detector should only be opened by experienced, qualified
personnel.)
•
Except when using the Moly Shield, the well liner and dipper must be used
for all Atomlab 500 Dose Calibrator measurements.
•
The Moly Shield is used with the supplied metal shield for proper placement
within the dose calibrator detector. Always use the well liner.
•
The Atomlab Dose Calibrator is designed for use with specific printers.
Contact Biodex for compatible printers.
•
Never store sources in the dose calibrator except during a linearity test, as the
sources will lengthen the time needed to perform a Zero Background once the
source is removed from the detector.
•
The pre-set dial values noted in Appendix E are passcode protected but
can be changed by the user. Multipliers are not used with the Atomlab
dose calibrators.
•
Leave the Atomlab Dose Calibrator power on ensuring the detector remains
stable and can quickly provide accurate measurements.
•
A sealed source should be used to check the constancy of the system each day.
Prudences Spécifiques:
•
Permettez au personnel seulement autorisé, entraîné de faire marcher ou
assurer l'entretien de l'Atomlab 500.
•
Si l'équipement est utilisé dans une manière autre qu'indiqué dans ce manuel
d'opération, la protection fournie par l'équipement peut être diminuée et les
résultats pourraient être compromis.
•
L'étalage opère sur le voltage bas et les auto-gammes d'alimentation
électrique de 100 courant de contribution de volts au courant de
contribution de 240 volts. Le détecteur augmente le courant jusqu'à ayez le
haut voltage pour faire marcher le détecteur. N'ouvrez jamais le détecteur.
Cela devrait être fait seulement par le personnel de service expérimenté,
qualifié.
