TAKING MEASUREMENTS
NOTE
When not taking readings, always keep the source rod
in the SAFE (shielded) position. For added operator
safety, the source rod automatically retracts to the
SAFE position when the gauge is lifted by the handle.
If you do not hear a click when the gauge is raised to the SAFE
position, look at the bottom of the gauge to verify that the tungsten
sliding block is completely closed. If the gauge base opening is not
completely closed by the sliding block, the sliding block and fixed
tungsten block may require cleaning. Refer to page A–11 for
cleaning instructions.
The
Gauge Status Menu
(see page 3–24) allows the operator to
view the current gauge status. This feature provides a quick
overview of all enabled functions (mode of operation, enabled
offsets, displayed units, etc.). Check the gauge’s current status
before taking measurements. To change any of the gauge
parameters, refer to
Chapter 5 .
NOTE
Always take a standard count each day the gauge is to
be used (see page 4–2).
NOTE
A project must be enabled before taking a measurement.
Refer to page 3–19 for instructions on creating and
enabling projects.
WARNING
Do not store or transport the gauge unless the
sliding block is completely closed. Increased
radiation levels may cause excessive personnel
radiation exposure and may violate transportation
regulations.
