Thank you for purchasing the MiniTRACE CSDF contamination and survey meter. In order to
gain a better understanding of its functions, please take a little time to read through this
instruction manual.
MiniTRACE CSDF is a multifunctional contamination and survey meter that has been
developed by Saphymo GmbH in Frankfurt/Main.
MiniTRACE CSDF is especially suited for use in nuclear plants, reprocessing sites, research
centers, hospitals, and for occupational groups such as the armed forces, police or fire
department.
MiniTRACE CSDF offers ease of use. It is the ideal instrument for identifying possible
contamination simply and quickly (values are displayed in Bq, Bq/cm
2
or cps, depending on
the mode). You can also use it as a multifunctional survey meter. With its energy compen-
sated Geiger-Mueller pancake detector you can determine the ambient dose rate equivalent
(H*(10)), displayed in µSv/h. The device is also suitable for food measurements and wipe
tests.
The MiniTRACE CSDF enables the user to select different measurement cycles for the count
up mode directly on the instrument or to choose between different radionuclides.
Additionally, the optional MiniTRACE software enables you to set the alarm thresholds or
calibrate the instrument (see additional software manual).
