The Display
The LCD (liquid crystal display) shows various indicators according to the mode setting, function being performed, and
battery condition.
Figure 3 Display Indicators
Indicators:
• The numeric display (A) shows the current radiation level in the unit specified by the mode switch setting.
• A small battery (B) appears to the left of the numeric display indicating low battery voltage.
•ARadiation Symbol (C) Appears to the left of the numeric display when the Alert mode is activated.
• An hourglass (D) appears to the left of the numeric display while in the Cal mode or during a timed count.
• TOTAL (E) appears when the Inspector
+
is in Total/Timer mode.
• X1000 (F) appears when the numeric display is to be multiplied by 1000.
• CAL (G) is shown while you are calibrating the Inspector
+
.
• SET (H) appears when you are setting the timer (the numeric display shows the timed period instead of the
current radiation level), in the Cal mode (the numeric display shows the Cal factor instead of the current radiation
level), and while adjusting settings in the Utility and Alarm Menus.
• The current unit of measurement (I)—CPM, CPS, mR/hr or
µµ
Sv/hr—is displayed to the right of the numeric
display.
The Switches
The Inspector
+
has two switches on the front, and one switch and three buttons on the end panel. Each switch has three
settings which are described below.
Mode Switch (Figure 1(2))
mR/hr
µµ
Sv/hr. The numeric display shows the current radiation level in milliroentgens per hour or, when SI units are
used, in microsieverts per hour.
In mR/hr mode, the Inspector
+
displays the radiation level from .001 to 100.
In µSv/hr mode, the Inspector
+
displays the radiation level from .01 to 1000. See “Utility Menu” in Chapter 3 for
details on how to activate this mode.
CPM CPS. In CPM, the display shows the current radiation level in counts per minute from 0 to 350,000. When
X1000 is shown on the display, multiply the numeric reading by 1000 to get the complete radiation level. When using
SI units, the display shows the radiation level in counts per second from 0 to 5000.
Total/Timer. The display shows the accumulated total of counts from 1 to 9,999,000. When X1000 is shown on the
display, multiply the numeric reading by 1000 to get the complete radiation level. Totaling starts when the switch is
moved to this position. For details, see “Taking a Timed or Total Count” in Chapter 3.
Off/On/Audio Switch (Figure 1 (3))
Audio. The Inspector
+
is on and makes a clicking sound for each radiation event detected.
On. The Inspector
+
is operating, but audio is off.
Off. The Inspector
+
is not operating.
