Instructions
A visual inspection of the Uni-Probe has to be carried out at least
every third year. Please use the visual inspection schedule
(Volume 2) on page 2–216. Take appropriate steps as soon as you
discover any defects during visual inspection; if necessary, sepa-
rate the device from power immediately.
To determine the inspection intervals, please take the following
issues into consideration:
– ambient conditions (outdoors, rain, sunlight, wind)
– operating conditions (degree of utilization of the facilities,
faulty operation)
– major changes in the overall system (e.g. changes in the zone
classification)
Carry out a visual inspection and check the connection box prior to
the first commissioning and prior to any possibly required repair
where the Uni-Probe housing cover has to be opened. Please use
the visual inspection schedule on page 2–216 and the plan for
checking the connection room on page 2–217 in Volume 2.
Installation, dismantling, relocation, maintenance, testing involving
the radioactive source, or its shielding shall ONLY be performed
under the supervision of the Radiation Safety Officer.
Please contact BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES if you need any further
information.
