Receiving and Installation
Unpacking
Remove the calibration certificate and place it in a secure location. Remove the
instrument and accessories (cables, detectors, and other parts) and ensure that
all of the items listed on the packing list are in the carton. Check individual item
serial numbers and ensure calibration certificates match. The Product serial
number is located on the lower left corner of the front panel. Most detectors have
a label on the base or body of the detector for model and serial number
identification.
Note
If multiple shipments are received, ensure that the detectors and
instruments are not interchanged. Each instrument is calibrated to
specific detectors, and is therefore not interchangeable.
Installation
The following is intended to be a general guide for installing the Product. Exact
installation details depend on the customer’s specific location and use.
Location
The placement of the detector will depend on the relative importance of the
following factors:
•
Exclusiveness – finding a point that all waste goes through
•
Proximity – closer to the waste means more sensitivity
•
Shielding - smaller containers mean less shielding around possible sources
of radiation.
•
Accountability – finding out where the waste is coming from
Detectors
Place detectors as close as is practical to the load. Elevate the detectors to the
typical center of the load.
Instrument (Counter)
Connect the instrument to Mains power. The Product is designed for indoor use
only and must be protected from adverse weather conditions.
Note
The Product will normally be wired internally for 120 V ac. If
requested, the unit may be wired for 220 V ac. Check the label next
to the ac input receptacle to verify the required input voltage.
Cables
Route cables from the detectors to the instrument. Protect the cables from
physical abuse. Plastic or metal conduit may be used to protect the cables.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, do
not touch the center pin of the detector connectors unless the
unit has turned off and the power has been removed for at least
1 minute.
