3.2.1 Gamma Radiation Survey
To survey for gamma radiation... *
1. Scan an area by moving the instrument to varied
locations in the environment under survey. Observe the dis-
play.
For best dose rate calculations the source must
not be too close to the instrument.
The dose rate unit is a user preset, and may be
changed to personal preference, or situational
requirement.
Remember to remain always cognizant and aware
of the surroundings if relying on visual alarms. The
beeper and vibration alarms allow free movement
through the environment, or area of operation,
while maintaining eyes on path / subject.
The FLIR identiFINDER R200 compares the radiation to warning and alarm thresholds continuously
("Alarm Threshold" on page 1). Should the radiation exceed one of the thresholds, the instrument
raises an alarm which displays on-screen and optionally by LEDs, beeper, and vibrator (" Alarms"
on page69 for details about the beep and vibration patterns) until the radiation drops below the
threshold.
The alarm or warning will be reported in the title bar until the
radiation drops below the appropriate threshold.
