2.2.2. µsievert Conversion:
The cps/µsievert conversion is set in the same manner as the alarm level. Turn the two rotary
dip-switches marked "k-factor" to the desired setting. This setting is multiplied by 100, so a
setting of 19 would result in 1900 cps per µsievert.
NOTE:
Setting both k-factor switches to "0" will display cps.
The settings will appear on the display for approximately 3 seconds each during the warm-up
period. They will be displayed in the following order:
•
sigma
•
cps/µsievert
After the settings are displayed, the instrument will initiate a 10 second countdown for the initial
background.
