Measurements
After turning on, the device starts registering the radioactive
environment automatically. About 10 seconds later, the first result is
displayed and a new measurement cycle begins. The device continues taking
measurements until it is turned off, regardless of which mode is used. The
device gives the most accurate results when the accuracy indicator is
completely filled (Page 34, p. 15).
Measuring background radiation of objects
To measure background radiation of food, construction materials
and other objects proceed as follows:
1. Measure background radiation level at a distance of a few
meters from the object.
2. Bring the perforated side of the device close to the object and
measure the background radiation at a minimum distance from the object.
3. Compare the reading with the natural background radiation
level you registered in Step 1. The difference of the two readings is the
additional background radiation from the object.
To assess radioactive pollution of liquids, the measurements are
taken above the open surface of the liquid. To prevent liquid from getting on
or inside the device, we recommend you to wrap the device in a plastic bag,
but only in one layer.
Measuring accumulated dose
Measuring accumulated dose begins at the moment the device is
turned on and continues until the device is turned off, regardless of which
mode is used. The next time the device is turned on, the measurement of the
accumulated dose will continue. The data can only be reset using a PC with
«Soeks Device Manager» software.
