Avoid locating your dose calibrator near a radioactive mate-
rials storage area. The .25-inch lead shield around the
detector shields it from changes in radiation levels from
diagnostic energy radionuclides (i.e., Tc-99m); however, the
high energy radiation from sources such as Cs-137 and Co-
60 will easily penetrate the shield and change the back-
ground radiation level. The lower the ambient radioactivity,
the less background activity for which the Atomlab Dose
Calibrator must compensate, and, the greater the accuracy
and reliability of the readings.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Choose a line power source with a socket which mates
securely with the power plug provided.
Verify that the power line is properly grounded.
Do not choose an outlet that has a wall switch control.
100 to 120 VAC 1/2 A, or 200 to 240 VAC 1/4 A, selectable
with Fuse Holder (see Appendix A).
50/60 Hz.
POSITIONING
After you have chosen a suitable location for your Atomlab
Dose Calibrator and familiarized yourself with its compo-
nents, position the various units. Make sure the Detector
and Display Units have been positioned to where they will
not have to be moved prior to connecting the cables.
CABLE CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 2-2 for an illustration of the Detector Unit's
cable connector and rear panel. The Detector Cable is gray,
ten feet long, and has white identical male connectors on
both ends. The connectors are of a self-locking type.
