Endress+Hauser 5
1.4 Radiation protection
The Gammapilot M is used in conjunction with a radioactive source, contained in a source
container. When handling radioactive sources, the following instructions have to be observed:
1.4.1 Basic regulations on radiation protection
#
Warning!
When handling radioactive sources, all unnecessary radiation exposure should be avoided. All
unavoidable radiation exposure should be kept as low as possible. Three measures are used for this:
L00-QGxxxxxx-16-00-00-en-001
Distance
Keep as far away as possible from the radiation source. The local radiation intensity decreases as the
square-root of the distance from the radiation source.
Shielding
Ensure the best possible shielding between the radiation source and yourself as well as all other
individuals. Effective shielding is provided by source containers (FQG61, FQG62, QG2000) and all
high-density materials (lead, iron, concrete).
"
Caution!
When working with source containers, all the instructions for mounting and usage outlined in the
following documents must be observed:
Time
Stay as short as possible in the area exposed to radiation.
