1.3 Instrument Safety radEAGLE User Manual
The power adaptor is connected to line power. Normal care in handling such a line
power device should be exercised. In particular this unit should not be connected to
line power if it is wet.
The nature of the application is such that objects you survey with the radEAGLE could
emit ionizing radiation with hazardous intensity.
1.3 Instrument Safety
The detector crystals built into in the radEAGLE are brittle. To enjoy a long-lasting
performance of your instrument, avoid drops or other severe impacts.
Detector crystals may fracture under rapid temperature change. This could occur, for
example, when transporting the instrument in a air-conditioned vehicle and unloading
it in extremeley cold or hot environments. Sudden temperature change must not
exceed 30.0 °C (54.0 °F) in order to avoid damages.
1.4 Before First Use
We recommend charging the batteries of the radEAGLE after unpacking prior to first
time use (8.4, p. 116).
This is a good time to get familiar with the radEAGLE by reading this manual.
Please read at least the rest of this chapter and those on basic operation (chapter 2,
p. 21) before starting to experiment with the radEAGLE.
Chapter 2, p. 21 explains the principles of operating the radEAGLE.
The fundamental modes of operation of the radEAGLE are detailed in chapter 3, p. 31, fol-
lowed by explanations of the radEAGLE alarms in chapter 4, p. 37.
A detailed reference on all the commands is given in chapter 5, p. 41, which you should read
to know about all the features and possibilities in case you need them.
The web interface for monitoring, configuring and transferring data is detailed in chapter 7,
p. 85.
Chapter 8, p. 107 details the power supply for the radEAGLE and the handling of various
battery types.
The appendix comprises
• information about the nuclides the radEAGLE can identify (Appendix A, p. 119),
• a glossary of terms and technological background (Appendix B, p. 125 and C, p. 127)
• a trouble shooting guide (Appendix D, p. 131)
• an info pool (Appendix E, p. 135) with certificates, specification data etc.
