The Order Of Examination:

1.

After selecting a function of the Radiation Detector and positioning the Detector
next to the object being examined, the radioactive examination automatically
begins.

2.

While observing the LCD Display (1), each registered quantum of radiation is
accompanied by a presentation of the “REGISTERED PARTICLE INDICATOR”
(15) icon “   “ and a short audible signal (if the “AUDIO” (8) is turned on).  The
frequency of the icon on the LCD Display is proportionate to the dose rate.
(See Figure B.)

3.

Ionizing radiation has a static/random character.  Therefore, the results shown in
the LCD Display (1) in identical conditions will not remain stationary values.  For
a more precise reading of a dose level it is necessary to conduct from 3 to 5
cycles of observation with the Radiation Detector continuously on.

4.

Ten seconds after the function of the Radiation Detector is turned on, the results
of the 

first short cycle of observation, and its “EXECUTED CYCLES OF OBSER-

VATION” (14) icon are displayed on the LCD Display (1).  The 

second and third

short cycles of observation automatically average out.  (See Figure C.)

5.

The 

short cycle of observation is equal to 10 seconds, and intended for a fast

calculation of the preliminary results.  (See Figure C.)

Corresponds to the First 

short cycle of observation.

Corresponds to the Second 

short cycle of observation.

Corresponds to the Third 

short cycle of observation.

FIGURE C

6.

The most reliable calculation of results is displayed on the “EXECUTED CYCLES
OF OBSERVATION” (14) icon after the first 40 seconds cycle of observation and
is designated by the icon “  “.  (See Figure D, next page.)

7.

The first result of observation is displayed as an average value of four previous
short cycles of observation.  The second result of observation is displayed as an
average value of two previous cycles of observation.  The third result of observa-
tion is displayed as an average value of three previous cycles of observation.
The fourth result of observation is displayed as an average value of four or more
previous cycles of observation.  (See Figure D.)
