-HX Human Portable Radiation Detection System — Operation Manual
6
NOTE As initially configured at the factory, the HX does not display IDs and alarms on
the Home screen even if threat and/or innocent materials are being detected. You
must begin a Survey event to determine if radiation is currently present. The Home
screen’s alarm displays can be turned on by unmarking the Suppress IDs option
(page 30); this requires the administrator password.
!
Audio/Vibratory Signals — An auditory alarm with three volume settings (which you can
optionally monitor with headphones) and a vibratory alarm in the handle. You can use either,
both, or neither; see Section 3.4.1.
!
General Information Readouts — On the Home
screen only, a section displaying the last four digits
of the HX serial number, software and firmware
versions, the date the next background measurement
must be performed, the GPS coordinates, and the
date and time (Fig. 5). If you are indoors or other-
wise out of range of GPS signals, the GPS readout
displays
Location not determined
.
!
Menus — Designed to be operated with just the S and N buttons; alternatively, you can tap
the menu command itself. Figure 6 shows the Main Menu with the Detect option
highlighted. In this state, if you press the S button or tap the soft S button, the HX unit
immediately starts a Survey. To move the highlight to another option, press the N button or
tap the N soft button. Note that the N button cycles from the top item down. Figures 29
