CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
When not taking measurements, always keep the source
rod in the SAFE position. For added operator safety, the
source rod on the gauge retracts to the SAFE position
when the gauge is picked up by the handle.
Do not store or transport the gauge unless the handle is
raised to the safe position and locked. Increased radiation
levels may violate transportation regulations and cause
excessive personnel exposure.
Units intended for use in countries that are members of
the European Community are shipped with an AC adapter,
Troxler part number 108354.
Gauge cover is to be removed by trained service
personnel only. There are no user-serviceable
components inside. Note that components behind the
cover can have voltage potentials in excess of 50 volts
during normal operation of the gauge.
Appendix D, Radiation Theory and Safety should be read
carefully and understood before using the gauge.
The Model 4590 gauges are not waterproof. Do not use
them in the rain. If the gauge gets wet, make sure it is
completely dry before sealing it in the case for storage.
Even small amounts of moisture can get into the body of
the gauge and cause damage. See
Troubleshooting
