TroxAlert



Radiation Survey Meter

USING THE TROXALERT

After checking the battery and, if needed, the TroxAlert, the
user is ready to take a measurement. Start with the range switch
in the

X100

position. Point the TroxAlert toward the suspected

radiation source. Lower the range until the meter detects
radiation or until the switch reaches the

position.

CAUTION

Do not allow the TroxAlert to come in contact with
a radioactive source. Such contact may
contaminate the TroxAlert and render it useless.

In case of TroxAlert contamination, dispose of it properly.
Failure to do so is illegal and dangerous.

DO NOT ship a

contaminated TroxAlert to Troxler under any
circumstances.

Please call the Troxler Service Department or

Radiation Safety Department at (919) 549-8661 for instructions.
