G. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A. Yes... select the relevant event in the event log of the Sync software,
then select ’send report’.
Q. While acquiring a spectrum with the InterceptorTM, is it possible to
view the spectrum with the sync software?
A. No... this option is not available.
Q. What is the energy resolution?
A. 2.4% - 3.5%
Q. Can isotopes be added to the ID library should the device have ID
Mode?
A. Currently, users can not add isotopes to the library.
Q. How long is the ID acquisition period for the optional ID mode?
A. The time required for source identification is largely dependent on the
strength of and distance to the radioactive source. The InterceptorTM
utilizes criteria to minimize the identification time while still providing
a high confidence result. The time will vary from 60 seconds to 30
minutes. Should the ID period extend too long, switch to the Finder
Mode and attempt to get closer to the source in order to reduce the ID
time.
Q. What is the name in which the
*
.spc,
*
.wav and
*
.jpg files are
saved?

ond) with Picture_ or Voice_ in standalone, S prefix if tied-together.
Q. Can the batteries be changed by the user?
A. No... this can only be done by the manufacturer.
Q. Does the battery require changing once yearly?
A. No... usually the Li-ion batteries will last for 2-3 years.
Q. Should the dose rate and neutron count rate be calibrated once periodi-
cally?
