2.5.2 Visual Guides and Alarm Annunciation in Dose Rate Mode
A colored bar gives a visual interpretation of the dose rate. It also helps you to qualitatively deduce
whether the radiation is strong or not, based on the definitions in the
DOSE RATE SETTINGS menu. The
green area represents minor radiation strength well below the warning threshold defined in the DOSE
RATE SETTINGS . If the dose rate increases, the yellow area would be lit indicating a moderate radiation
field. The yellow region corresponds to when the radiation field is stronger than the predefined warning
threshold. This will vary based on the level set by the user in the
DOSE RATE SETTINGS screen (Figure 31 ,
p. 39 ). Lastly, the red area denotes system is in a dose rate field that exceeds the user defined alarm
threshold.
Once the dose rate exceeds the warning and alarm thresholds, different visual, tactile, and acoustic
alarms will be triggered (assuming the vibrator and sound are enabled in the
SYSTEM SETTINGS menu).
2.5.3 Neutron Display In Dose Rate Mode
If the optional neutron detector is installed, the neutron cps will be displayed and a second color bar in
blue visually displays the neutron cps.
Neutron sources are dangerous and neutron sources are always considered as threat. If the in-
strument indicates the presence of neutron radiation, increase distance to the source immediately.
