SETTING UP DEFAULTS
All wipe locations belong to one of the following four pre-set groups or types:
•
Work Areas places where radioactive material is handled, e.g. hot labs,
medicine
administration rooms, storage rooms
•
Unrestricted Areas places of free access e.g. reception desk, waiting rooms
•
Sealed Sources devices that contain a sealed radioactive source
•
Packages arriving or leaving shipments of radioactive material
Each group has default values set for
Trigger Level (threshold activity) and Counting Time
(live time duration for count collection). All wipe locations belong to one of the above groups,
which automatically sets the
Trigger Level and Counting Time for the wipe location. These
values are also set to a default for background, which is common for all the wipe locations. In
addition to these values,
Full Spectrum Efficiency is set to an optimum number, 65%
(Refer to ISOTOPE EFFICIENCY on page 8-29 for more information).
To view or change the Trigger Level, Counting Time or the Full Spectrum Efficiency default
values,
1. Click the
button or Alt+D at the bottom of Figure 8-2 Main Wipe
Test Screen. Figure 8-3 Wipe Test Setup Screen will appear.
