CHAPTER FIVE:
OPERATION OF YOUR ATOMLAB 100
DOSE CALIBRATOR
Most of the following functions and procedures are
briefly described on the Quick Reference Chart provided
with this manual.
At this point, make sure you have performed the steps de -
scribed in Chapters 2 and 3 and are familiar with Chapter 4.
GENERAL OPERATING TIPS
The next few guidelines should be followed to ensure
obtaining the most accurate, reliable results:
1) Perform the Self-Test, Daily Constancy, Quarterly
Linearity and annual accuracy tests as required. If not
properly compensated for, changes in operating
parameters will affect the accuracy of readings.
2) Do not introduce other high energy radioactive sources
near the location of the Atomlab 100. Try to maintain
a stable environment.
3) Leave your Dose Calibrator ON at all times, or make
sure you turn it ON at least one hour prior to using it.
Keep the Chamber Well Liner in the Detector
at all times. Failure to do so will affect the accuracy of
test results obtained and leave open the possibility of con-
taminating the Chamber Well.
Gardez le manchon protecteur à l’intérieur de
la chambre du calibrateur en tous temps.
A défaut de cette
précaution, la précision des résultats de vos tests peut être
affectée et, laisse place à la possibilité de contaminer le
puits de la chambre.
