Figure 10: Taking background
of each bar is proportional to the cps. A color coded scheme aids you to find sources:
• green bars denote radiation levels close to the background where no additional
• yellow bars indicate a slight increase in radiation (an additional source might be present)
• red bars represent increased radiation potentially caused by a source
Figure 11 , p. 19 shows the DETECT MODE in a typical situation where the radiation strip chart is close to
the background and the background is not varying. The bars are green and may fluctuate slightly which
is normal as the radiation is neither constant in space nor in time.
The motion of the bars helps you find the location of the source. As the instrument is moved towards
a radiation source or pointed towards a source, the intensity of the strip chart will increase resulting in
peak appearing in the bar graph as the RADEAGLET passes by a radiation source.
2.6.3 Neutron Source Detection (Optional)
The RADEAGLET has an optional neutron detector installed. If you are close to a neutron source, there
are several visual indications that warn or alarm you about it:
• The blue LED located on the RADEAGLET keyboard will flash when neutrons are detected
• In the DOSE RATE MODE , the neutron cps will be displayed together with a blue horizontal bar
proportional to the number of incoming neutrons
• In the DETECT MODE , neutron events are marked as blue bars.
