2.2 WEARING THE TRACERCO PED
The TRACERCO PED is worn on the users upperbody.
Note that the calibration will be invalid if the TRACERCO PED is not worn
on the upper body. The TRACERCO PED must not be used as a handheld
radiation monitor.
The clip may be used to fix the TRACERCO PED to the users belt or some other
area of work clothes. The TRACERCO PED must be worn with the screen facing
outwards. It is best to wear the TRACERCO PED on the outer layer of clothing for
easy readings and to make sure alarm lights are visible.
The clip may be removed
by simply pulling one side
of the clip saddle away from
the TRACERCO PED. The
clip is reinstalled by pushing
the clip saddle fixing points
into the small cavities on
either side of the rear of
the TRACERCO PED.
To offer additional security a lanyard may be fixed to the clip hinge section.
2.3 START UP AND SHUT DOWN
To turn the TRACERCO PED on, press & hold the button for a few seconds until the status bar says
100%. During start up a screen showing the assigned user is displayed, assuming there are no alarms
or warnings present. This screen is followed by a button operation message. The alarms are tested
when the TRACERCO PED is starting up, so the device should flash and make a load beep sound.
The readings screen is automatically displayed after start up.
If the dose stored on the TRACERCO PED is higher than the dose alarm level the TRACERCO PED will
bypass the start up screens to go straight to the readings screen and sound the alarm and beep.
The TRACERCO PED is turned off by entering the main menu and selecting the “switch off” option.
See section 2.5 for menu navigation.
