1-3

Warm-Up Time

 

Less than one minute for initial operation when the instrument is in temperature 
equilibrium with the surrounding area and about 4 minutes for readings less than 
20 μR/h in a 10 μR/h or less background 

Drift

 

After seven minutes operation, 0.04 mR/h equivalent, or less 

Response Time

 

Time measured from 10% to 90% of final value for a step increase/decrease in 
radiation rate such that a range change does not occur: 

 

0 to 500 μR/h (0 to 5 μSv/h) range: 

5 seconds 

 

0 to 5 mR/hr (0 to 50 μSv/h) range:

 2 seconds 

 

0 to 50 mR/h (0 to 500 μSv/h) range:

 1.8 seconds 

 

0 to 500 mR/h (0 to 5 mSv/h) range:

 1.8 seconds 

 

0 to 5 R/h (0 to 50 mSv/h) range:

 1.8 seconds 

 

NOTE: 

In pulsating field, the instantaneous rate should not exceed 5 R/h for 

proper integration; instantaneous exposure rate is still limited to 5 R/h 

Precision

 

Within 5% reading

Liquid Crystal Display

: contains an analog bar graph with a permanent scale on 

the display and a 2 1/2 digit display 

 Analog 

Display:

 the bargraph consists of 100 segments, 2 ½ inches long; the 

scale has five major divisions; the appropriate value for the operating range of 
the instrument will appear below the scale 

 Digital 

Display:

 the digital display is 2 1/2 digits followed by a significant zero 

digit depending on the operating range of the instrument.  The leading 1/2 digit is 
blank, or a “1” or a “0” for clarity. Units of measure appear to the right of the 
digital display. Appropriate multipliers also appear on the display 

 Units:

 as indicated under Range, programmable in R/h or Sv/h.  Appropriate 

multipliers also appear on the display 

 Auto-On 

Backlight:

 turns on when ambient light is less then twilight conditions 

External Controls

 

ON/OFF button, MODE button 

Automatic Features

 

Ranging and zeroing are fully automatic.
