196 ATOMLAB 500 DOSE CALIBRATOR
Detector Diagnostics Display
There are several properties of a dose calibrator detector monitored and measured. The results
are reported as a coded value, with an associated description. Space on the display is tight to
accommodate up to 7 detectors, so if there’s only 1 error in effect, we display the associated
description. If there are multiple errors, we display only the codes. Here is the list of error
codes, their class, and their description for dose calibrators:
Error Code Class 500 Description
Code 2 FAIL Firmware Checksum
Code 3 FAIL Electrometer Needs
Recalibration
Code 4 FAIL Eeprom Data
Corrupt
Code 5 WARNING Detector Gas Low,
Correctable
Code 6 FAIL Detector Gas Too
Low To Use
Code 7 FAIL Communications
Error
Code 8 FAIL Detector Bias
Voltage Anomaly
Code 9 FAIL Electrometer Monitor
Voltage Anomaly
Code 10 WARNING Overrange Detector
Reading (Too High)

{2 or more error codes may be present}
Warnings are errors flagged by the self tests, but not considered permanent or serious enough to
not use the reported activity measurements.
Failures (FAIL) are considered serious enough to not use the detector for any activity
measurements. The detector will automatically be taken offline by the system, no longer
selectable.
