Model 3430 Plus & 3440 Plus
SOURCE ROD POSITIONS
As shown in Figure 3ā3, the source rod can be placed in the SAFE,
backscatter, or direct transmission positions. When not taking
measurements, keep the source rod in the SAFE position. When
measuring thin layer or other materials through which you cannot
drill a hole, use the backscatter position. In the direct transmission
positions, the source rod extends into a pre-drilled hole.
WARNING
The source rod should always be in the SAFE
position when the gauge is not in use.
