FLIR identiFINDER R300 - Detector Overload

FLIR Detection 4. FLIR identiFINDER R300 Modes
For best dose rate calculations the source must not be too close to the instrument (Figure 239,
p. 242).
The dose rate display (Figure 87, p. 86) shows two representations of the gamma dose rate:
Analog
A colored horizontal bar along a logarithmic axis ranging from 0.001 µSv/h to 10 Sv/h
(1 Sv = 100 rem) across the upper part of the screen.
A vertical line marks the position of dose rate alarm threshold (see 6.33, p. 161 for setting the
threshold).
If the dose rate rises above the threshold, the color of the bar representing the current dose
rate changes.
Digital
Large digits and a dose rate unit in the screen’s center.
The unit is adjusted to the order of magnitude of the dose rate (µSv/h, mSv/h, Sv/h) and
relects your preferences (see 6.31, p. 159).
If your variant is equipped with a neutron detector, the current neutron rate is shown
below the gamma dose rate.
If the dose rate rises above the overload threshold (see A.1, p. 237), the instrument’s results
are unreliable. This condition is displayed on the screen (Figure 88, p. 87).
We strongly recommend that you retreat from environments with radiation that high.
