NUISANCE ALARMS WHEN MONITORING EQUIPMENT
It may be found that alarms occur when monitoring equipment containing batteries.
This is due to the presence of naturally occurring radioactive materials in some
batteries; probably Thorium.
To avoid operational difficulties it is therefore recommended that batteries be
removed prior to monitoring.
This is not a problem with all batteries, but at this stage it is not possible to identify
those which will never exhibit this problem.
