Eberline ESP-1 - User Calibration

burden of radio iodine by counting the thyroid for a period of time, perhaps five minutes.
This mode can be disabled by an intemal switch; refer to section ILD.
c. Inquiry/Calibration Mode:
enables the user to select the units which will be used in the Rate meter
Mode;
enables the user to set the alarm point;
enables the user to set two constants, the calibration constant (CC) and
the dead time (DT) for the particular detector being used;
enables the user to monitor the high voltage which is applied to the
detector.
This mode can be disabled by an internal switch; refer to section ILE.
2. User Calibration
a. User Calibration of the ESP-1 with a detector purchased with the instrument:
The ESP-1 is calibrated at the manufacturing facility. If the instrument was purchased with
a detector, the correct calibration factors for that detector are already entered at the factory
and the instrument is ready for immediate use. You should verify that these parameters are
the same as those supplied on the calibration certificate supplied with the detector. Refer
to section ILE. for directions on viewing the parameters.
b. User Calibration of ESP-1 with Various Detectors:
If a radiation detector was not purchased with the ESP-1 from the factory, the ESP-1 was
calibrated generically at the factory rather than for a specific detector. In that case,
calibration factors for the detector of choice will have to be entered into the ESP-1 before
it is ready for use.
CAUTION
Failure to enter the correct parameters for the detector
being used may result in erroneous values being
presented on the display of the ESP-1.
