Before Proceeding
NOTE: The warnings, cautions and instructions provided in this manual must be read,
followed and kept available for consultation at all times. Observing the information,
instructions and procedures presented throughout this manual is essential for using the
Atomlab 500 Dose Calibrator both properly and safely.
Specific Cautions
• Allow only qualified, trained personnel to operate or service the Atomlab 500.
• If the equipment is used in a manner other than specified in this operation manual,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired and results could be
compromised.
• The display operates on low voltage and the power supply auto-ranges from 100 to
240 volts input current. The detector steps up the current to increase the high
voltage required to operate the detector. (Never open the detector. The detector
should only be opened by experienced, qualified personnel.)
• Except when using the Moly Shield, the well liner and dipper must be used for all
Atomlab 500 Dose Calibrator measurements.
• The Moly Shield is used with the supplied metal shield for proper placement within
the dose calibrator detector. Always use the well liner.
• The Atomlab Dose Calibrator is designed for use with specific printers. Contact
Biodex for compatible printers.
• Never store sources in the dose calibrator except during a linearity test, as the
sources will lengthen the time needed to perform a Zero Background once the source is
removed from the detector.
• The pre-set dial values noted in Appendix E are password protected but can be
changed by the user. Multipliers are not used with the Atomlab dose calibrators.
• Leave the Atomlab Dose Calibrator power on so that the detector remains stable and
can quickly provide accurate measurements.
• A sealed source should be used to check the constancy of the system each day.
Prudences Spécifiques
• Permettez au personnel seulement autorisé, entraîné de faire marcher ou assurer
l'entretien de l'Atomlab 500.
• Si l'équipement est utilisé dans une manière autre qu'indiqué dans ce manuel
d'opération, la protection fournie par l'équipement peut être diminuée et les résultats
pourraient être compromis.
• L'étalage opère sur le voltage bas et les auto-gammes d'alimentation électrique de
100 courant de contribution de volts au courant de contribution de 240 volts. Le
détecteur augmente le courant jusqu'à ayez le haut voltage pour faire marcher le
détecteur. N'ouvrez jamais le détecteur. Cela devrait être fait seulement par le
personnel de service expérimenté, qualifié.
