1.2 GENERAL
The RS-330 is designed as a portable handheld instrument. The design incorporates specifications for
indoor as well as for outdoor applications in a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions. The
RS-330 consists of a single body intended to be used in the vertical position (standing up) detector. The
small diameter of the instrument allows the instrument to be easily placed in boreholes or tight shielding.
The instrument is self-contained so there are no additional devices required for its full functionality.
The upper (gray) section contains the
operating electronics, the display and
controls.
The lower (red) section of the instrument
contains the detector Crystal assembly
with internal temperature and shock
protection.
The bottom of the instrument is
protected with a rubber boot. The boot is
removable to permit bottom access but
is fully weatherproof.
The battery is mounted between these
sections.
A loudspeaker is installed at the rear of the unit behind the perforated grill
as shown by this picture.
The “black” section below the loudspeaker is a rubber weather cover that is
opened to give access to the battery Charger and USB connection.
Users must only use the supplied USB and Charger cables supplied
with the unit or the warranty may be voided.
The top panel consists of a large display, a joystick (4 enter) and
input jacks for microphone (MIC) and light sensor (SENS). A gray plastic lid
under the handle hides the GPS the WiFi antenna is located below the
display.
The joystick is made of five separate buttons. All buttons are protected with
transparent rubber cover and illuminate (for scrolling) when user choices are
required.
The instrument can be cleaned or decontaminated at any time with soapy
water or ethyl/ isopropyl alcohol.
NOTE: USERS ARE REMINDED THAT THE RS-330 SERIES OF INSTRUMENTS, IN
COMMON WITH OTHER SIMILAR INSTRUMENTS, USES A Sodium-Iodide
OR BGO CRYSTAL AS THE DETECTOR. THIS CRYSTAL IS FRAGILE
AND EVEN THOUGH THE UNIT HAS BEEN RUGGEDIZED FOR FIELD USE
GREAT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID ABUSING THE
INSTRUMENT AS THE VERY EXPENSIVE CRYSTAL IS NOT COVERED
UNDER WARRANTY.
