5.7 Pre-verification procedure 

5.7.1  Verification  procedure  of  the  instruments  РМ1610,  РМ1610А,  РМ1610-01  and 

РМ1610А-01 is carried out with fully charged accumulator batteries. Verification procedure of the 
instruments РМ1610B and РМ1610B-01 is carried out with new batteries with guaranteed expira-
tion date. 

5.7.2 The following pre-verification procedures are required: 
- study carefully Operation Manual before working with the Instruments to prevent errors and 

ensure safe operation. 

- prepare Instrument for operation according to the item  2.1.3 of the Instrument Operation 

Manual. 

- prepare auxiliary equipment for verification procedure  in  accordance with their technical 

documentation.

Verification Procedure 

5.8.1 External examination 
5.8.1.1 External examination must prove that instrument meets following requirements: 

- delivery kit corresponds to Operation Manual requirements; 
- there is a note in the Operation Manual about primary verification or certificate of recent 

verification; 

- there are clear markings on the Instrument surface; 
- there is no dirt or mechanical damage that can affect Instrument operation. 

 
5.8.2 Testing 

5.8.2.1 Check instrument operability according to according to the item 2.1.4 of the Instru-

ment Operation Manual. 

5.8.2.2 Set the maximum DER and DE alarm threshold values according to the item 2.2.7.5 

of the Instrument Operation Manual. 

 
5.8.3 Determination of the metrological characteristics 
5.8.3.1 Calculate permissible intrinsic relative error of the DER measurement in the follow-

ing way: 

1) enter the DER measurement mode; 
2) fix the instrument on the phantom, the backside facing the phantom. Place the dosimeter 

with the phantom on the dosimeter calibration assembly with 

137

Cs gamma radiation source so that 

the  calibration  direction  coincides  with  the  direction  of  radiation  flux  axis  and  the  radiation  flux 
axis  passes  through  the  geometric  center  of  the  detector,  Figure  5.1.  The  geometric  center  of  the 
detector is marked with ”x”; 

3)  in  not  less  than  600  s  after  placing  the  instrument  with  phantom  on  the  dosimeter 

calibration assembly take five readings
