1.6 Handling, transport, shipment
The ionization chamber and the detector electronics are highly fragile components and therefore need
to be handled with utmost care.
The original or an equal packing should be used for any transports and when returning the system.
Because of the risk of damage to the ionization chamber, the electrodes
of the measuring chamber must not be subjected to mechanical
pressure.
1.7 Cleaning
Do not use scouring or solvent-containing cleansing agents (e.g. benzine,
alcohol, stain-remover) or organic solvents for cleaning the measuring
chamber.
Using such agents may result in damage to the conductive layers on the electrodes. Cleaning the
measuring chamber with a cloth soaked in water with a mild washing-up liquid added is possible.
While cleaning, make sure no moisture gets into the ionization chamber.
The chamber must be dry before starting the system again.
Clean the display unit by wiping it with a disinfectant.
1.8 Storage, operating conditions
The dose area product measuring system inclusive of power pack and
accessories may only be used indoors.
Moisture may deposit on the ionization chamber and electric terminals when the relative humidity is
greater than 80%. This would lead to an increased leakage current and the error message
ERR:xxxx appearing upon completion of the system test.
This trouble, which is due to reduced insulation levels, can be eliminated by drying the chamber at an
increased temperature (max. 50°C).
1.9 Disposal
The measuring system contains electronic components and has to be disposed according to the valid
national regulations or it has to be sent back to the manufacturer.
