vi FT-50 Fill Level Inspector
Document 40272-0700
• The radioactive material is sealed by double fusion welds into a
stainless steel capsule. At manufacture, and again at installation, this
capsule is subjected to rigorous tests capable of detecting the leakage
of five millionths of one percent of the contents. Therefore as long as
the source capsule’s integrity is not compromised, radioactive
material cannot be released.
• As an additional precaution, the regulatory agencies require that a
licensed individual inspect the radiation source and the shutter
mechanism and conduct a leak test every 36 months.
Radiological Safety Guidelines
You have been supplied with a copy of the Rules, Regulations and Regis-
tration Requirements for your location, however, the following is a brief
synopsis of the general requirements.
1. Understand the rules, regulations, and registration requirements
regarding the use of this equipment at your location. A copy of this is
supplied with your FT-50.
2. Do not open or tamper with the enclosure containing the radioisotope
source.
3. Do not place your hands, or any other body part, between the source
and detector when the safety shutter is open.
4. Have inspection and wipe tests performed by a properly licensed
technician at the specified 36 month intervals (Industrial Dynamics'
Service Technicians can do this). Keep a record of each inspection
and test.
5. In the case of an accident which crushes or punctures the source
enclosure, seal off the area, cover the FT-50 and surroundings with a
plastic sheet or tarpaulin and call Industrial Dynamics immediately.
6. Do not relocate or dispose of the FT-50 without proper approval. A
licensed technician must perform this function.
7. If you have any questions, call Industrial Dynamics.
