Commissioning and Calibration
5.1
Pre-Commissioning Checks
The commissioning engineer should ensure that the mounted system (source container(s),
PRI150 radiation detector(s)) are all mounted as per the general arrangement drawing for
the system.
Additional attention should be drawn to check for any obstructions, both internally and
externally, in the path between the radiation source and detectors that has not already
been noted on the general arrangement drawing. Any obstruction will reduce the
performance of the system, especially around the region of the obstruction. If obstructions
are identified then Tracerco should be contacted in order to provide advice and
recommendations to achieve an optimum system.
5.2
Calibration
Optimus™ utilises specially developed algorithms to perform its level calculation and
provide additional diagnostics such as build up indication. The Tracerco ToolBox software
provides the necessary tools to perform a complete calibration.
