Model 3430 Plus & 3440 Plus
LEAK TESTING
Unless specified otherwise by your license or state regulations, the
gauge must be leak tested at intervals not exceeding 12 months to
ensure the integrity of the radioactive source encapsulation. Sample
analysis must be performed by a licensed laboratory only.
Using the Troxler Model 3880 Leak Test Kit (PN 102868) and
accompanying instructions, perform the following procedure:
✓
Write the date, gauge model number, and serial number on the
sample form and label.
✓
Remove the control panel from the gauge topshell. Locate the
yellow radiation label on the top surface of the base.
✓
Holding the wipe disk with the tongs, wipe the radiation label.
✓
Turn the gauge on its side and locate the opening where the
source rod extends through the gauge base.
✓
Holding the wipe disk with tongs, wipe the area around and
inside the opening where the source rod extends from the gauge
base.
✓
Pack the disk, as instructed, in the envelope and mail to Troxler
Electronic Laboratories, Inc. for analysis.
✓
Secure the gauge properly.
WARNING
Ensure that the source rod is in the SAFE position
(see Figure 3–3 on page 3–5).
