5.11.2 Setting the Alarm Trip Level
The following flow chart identifies the process for setting an alarm trip level in cps and Bq / cm
2
mode.
It should be noted that the Bq / cm
2
alarm will only be operative when the monitor is being
used with the Bq / cm
2
mode selected on the digital scale. Since only a single value trip setting
can be entered in Bq / cm
2
, the operator must ensure that the selected value is consistent with
the type of radionuclide being monitored.
