2. USING THE DC112d/DC112
2.1 Initial steps
This chapter contains all the information necessary to configure, adjust and carry out
measurements with the DC112d/DC112 dosimeter.
2.1.1 Material and documentation
The first step is to check the material and documentation provided with the DC112d/DC112:
Material included:
• DC112d/DC112 dosimeter spectrum analyser
• Case
• One 6LF22 type 9 V alkaline battery
• Connection cable for communication with the PC
• Capture Studio Software
Documentation included:
• User’s manual for the DC112d/DC112 dosimeter spectrum analyser
• Guarantee
If any of these elements should be missing, contact your official
distributor.
2.1.2 DC112d/DC112 Power source
The first operation to carry out, before switching on the DC112d/DC112, is to supply power.
The DC112d/DC112 dosimeter is
powered by a 6LF22 type 9V alkaline
battery, or via the USB port [
8].
To fit the battery, remove the battery
protection cover [
15] which can be found
at the back of the DC112d/DC112. Insert
the battery and press until the contacts fit
perfectly (see figure).
The battery indicator symbol in the bottom
right hand corner of the dosimeter screen
shows the status of the battery (see
figure).
When the battery is fully charged the
symbol shows on the screen. As the
battery is discharged, the symbol empties.
When the battery is not sufficiently charged for the
DC112d/DC112 to work correctly the
symbol will
start to flash. Then, if there is a measurement or
recording in progress it will be paused, and the
message “BATTERY FLAT” will appear on the screen
and the device will switch off. The battery must be
replaced.
To replace the batteries, the device must be switched off. To remove the battery of the
DC112d/DC112, open the battery compartment and pull upwards on the back of the battery,
as shown in the figure.
