 The display provides the CAL.CHECK
o While the CAL.CHECK is displayed
o Press intermediate [

o The check dose rate value is set to 1 mSv/h as a
default. With the CSW-31 Pro, the value can be set to
a more optimal value between 300 µSv/h … 3 mSv/h
 The display now provides CALIB.CHECK:ss, where the
seconds are counted down from 59 to 00 at which point the
calibration check is started.
o After the pre-calculated time, the measured dose is
provided and the results are stored into the
Diagnostics histogram.
o In case of falling outside the ± (15+X) µSv limits,
where the X is the estimated uncertainty of the
calibration check dose rate, it is advised to perform
the recalibration of the instrument.
Note: Getting the result may take some time - wait for the
result. If you press the [Ξ] shortly the calibration check will be
interrupted.
To activate the new firmware downloading:
 Scroll (Short [Ξ]’s) until display provides a Blinking
“LOADER”
 Activate the download with an intermediate [

 The Display provides stable LOADR

Note: If the communication line is not activated within the time-out period,
the instrument restarts and normal operation is resumed.
Note: The result of the calibration check depends on the irradiation source
energy. The instrument is originally calibrated with Cs-137 and in case a
different type of radiation source is used, the result should be compared to
the energy dependency of the instrument.
5.4.9 Communication (CONN)
There are two main communication link
selections possible in the RDS-31 instrument. The first method is
the RF-link and the second is the Cable-link method. Both
connections are established with a suitable adapter connected to
the USB-port of the PC. The adapter will create a HID-class
device using propriety Vendor- and Product codes to the
Operating System register. When the CSW-31 software is active,
there is a driver software, which will monitor the connected
devices in the system. When the RDS-31 communication adapter
device is connected to the PC, the link from the CSW-31 to the
