FLIR Detection 3. Field Operating Guide
Chapter 3
Field Operating Guide
This chapter provides a guide to the basic operating procedures necessary to survey an object and
generate the analyzed results for the survey of that object.
In many cases, your organization or institution will have its own Standard Operating Proce-
dure (SOP). In such a case, you should refer to that SOP.
A typical application of the FLIR identiFINDER R300 is the survey of objects for radioactive radia-
tion and to document the results of the survey. This process involves these fundamental steps:
1. Turn on and check the instrument (see 3.1, p. 70).
2. Observe the dose rate in your environment to detect gamma radiation (see 3.2, p. 70).
3. Locate the source of the radiation (see 3.3, p. 73).
4. Identify the nuclides that gamma radiation is originating from (see 3.4, p. 75).
5. Transfer the results to a local computer for further processing (see 3.5, p. 77).
6. Send the results to a remote service (see 3.6, p. 81).
7. Turn off the instrument (see 3.7, p. 84).
Please familiarize yourself with the names and positions of the FLIR identiFINDER R300’s
parts and the general methods of operation (chapter 2, p. 27) before proceeding with this
chapter.
Chapter 6, p. 103 provides information about all operations and describes the operations men-
tioned here in more detail. More precise pointers into the reference will be provided with the op-
eration steps outlined below.
The instructions outlined in this chapter assume a variant with a neutron detector (A.1,
p. 237) and with factory settings.
