The detector overload or saturation point for alpha and/or beta scintillation
detectors is when the detector face (Mylar) has been punctured, allowing
light to saturate the photomultiplier tube (PMT). The pulse output will
decrease or even appear non-responsive to any radiation activity, depending
upon the size of the puncture and the light intensity to the PMT.
Expose the detector PMT to a small light leak by loosening the detector
window. Some scintillators incorporate a screw in the detector body,
which when removed, will simulate a detector face puncture. The
ratemeter readout should start to decrease as the light saturates the
PMT.
Adjust the
OVL
control until the
OVERLOAD
just appears on the display.
Reseal the light leak connection and expose the detector to a radiation
source that will produce a near full-scale reading. Confirm that the
OVERLOAD
alarm does not initiate. Readjust the
OVL
control as required.
Loading Default Parameters
To load the default parameters for all detector setups, hold down the
UP
pushbutton on the switch board until
DEF
is displayed on the LCD. The
table on the following page shows the default values.
