2.5 MAIN DISPLAY
After initialization phase the Main display with dose rate will be shown. The symbols visible
on the Main display depend on the status of meter. The display symbols are presented in
the following chapter.
The two example Main displays above show the measured dose rate, Sv unit with multiplier,
battery capacity, analog dose rate indicator and different states of audio setting: chirp enabled
(left), chirp disabled and key sounds disabled (right).
The basic instrument RDS-32 has two units: Sv-based and rem-based. A suitable sub-
multiplier ‘µ’ or ‘m’ is set to extend the display range. In addition, ‘/h’ is applied to indicate the
dose rate.
With external gamma dose rate probes, the same basic units can be used (Sv/h, Sv, rem/h
and rem). With other external probes, the display can be configured to units cps, cpm, dpm,
Bq or Bq/cm

. Which units are available will vary by probe type. The external probe unit in use
is indicated above the reading.
When using external probes, the RDS-32 also displays the dose rate from the internal detector
of the instrument and integrates accumulated dose. The RDS-32 internal detector dose rate
is displayed on the bottom left corner of the Main display. The dose rate and dose
alarms/warnings set for the RDS-32 detector are operational.
