The
Radiation meter EcoLife Pro1
is a hand-held device, produced to control the
background radiation indoors and outdoors by measuring:
- the ambient dose of photon and gamma radiation and the ambient dose rate;
- the activity concentration of beta and gamma radioactive nucleus in substances.
Note: the ambient dose is the amount of radiation received by a person staying at the
measuring point.
The
Appendix
is to get you acquainted with the general information about the radiation
nature and the material-radiation interaction.
Attention!
Read this manual carefully in order to use the product efficiently and safety
for a long time.
Follow the rules, restrictions and instructions contained in the manual to increase the
lifespan of the equipment and to use it most effectively.
The manufacturer's warranty will become invalid prematurely if the operator of the
equipment does not follow the storage and transportation
instructions
.
Attention!
While measuring the natural background radiation the readings of even two
equal radiation meters may differ because the natural background is characterized by the low
density of particle flow and electromagnetic energy. The lower density of the flow, the fewer
particles is detected by the sensor per unit of time, that’s why you may take the major variety of
different readings. This situation is similar to the rain in everyday life. When there is a bit of rain
it’s difficult to detect how many drops drip per second by hand (there may be 2 drops, more or
no one). When the rain is heavy, there will be a constant number of drops per second.
Attention!
The device is intended for domestic use only. The readings taken by it can’t be
used for making official reports on the radiation situation or pollution rate.
Warning!
After storing the product in a cold place or transporting it in winter you should
keep the device at the room temperature for 2 hours before operating.
Warning!
Demand to perform a functional test before purchase. Also ensure that the
warranty sticker placed into the battery compartment is not damaged. Control the contents of the
box according to the 1.3.1 article of this manual. Ensure the warranty card is signed, dated and
stamped.

Specification and operation
1.1. Correct use and application area
The
Radiation meter EcoLife Pro1
is produced to control the radiation environment and
can be used
-
as an individual detector of the ambient dose and the ambient dose rate of gamma and X
radiation, including beta-particle flow;
-
as an exploratory detector of the ambient dose and the ambient dose rate of gamma and
X radiation, including beta-particle flow, that’s used to search for the objects polluted and the
radiation sources;
-
to control the radioactive pollution of currency notes, goods, freights, foods, toys,
materials and the packaging of them.
