22 ATOMLAB 500 DOSE CALIBRATOR
Avoid locating your dose calibrator near a radioactive materials 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,
F-18 and Co-60 will easily penetrate the shield and change the background 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.
Positioning
After you have chosen a suitable location for your Atomlab Dose Calibrator and familiarized
yourself with its components, 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.
Environmental Operating Conditions
Temperature: 10 to 30°C
Humidity: 0 to 90% rh, non-condensing
For optimum performance, the Atomlab 500 Dose Calibrator should be operated in a normal
laboratory environment where the temperature and humidity are maintained for normal human
comfort and the ambient radiation level is low and constant.
Environmental Shipping And Stowage Conditions
Temperature: 0 to 40°C
Humidity: 0 to 90% rh, non-condensing
For optimum performance, the Atomlab 500 should be operated in a normal laboratory
environment where the temperature and humidity are maintained for normal human comfort and
the ambient radiation level is low and constant.
