TAKING MEASUREMENTS
If you do not hear a click when the gauge is raised to the SAFE
position, look at the bottom of the gauge to verify that the tungsten
sliding block is completely closed. If the gauge base opening is not
completely closed by the sliding block, the block may require
cleaning. Refer to page A–11 for cleaning instructions.
The Status function (see page 3–9) allows the operator to view
selected information concerning the current gauge status and setup.
To access the Status function, press the
〈STATUS〉 key. Check the
gauge’s current status before taking measurements.
Remember to take a standard count at least once each day the gauge
is to be used (see page 4–2). Note that some states may require that
a standard count be taken more frequently than once per day.
The gauge can store measurement results in files (memory
locations) called projects. For information on creating and
activating project files, refer to Chapter 8. Upon completion of a
measurement, the results can be stored either automatically by
enabling the Auto-Store function (see page 8–12) or manually by
using the Store function (see page 8–14).
WARNING
When not taking readings, always keep the source
rod in the SAFE (shielded) position. For added user
safety, the source rod automatically retracts to the
SAFE position when the gauge is lifted by the
handle.
WARNING
Do not store or transport the gauge unless the
sliding block is completely closed. Increased
radiation levels may cause excessive personnel
radiation exposure and may violate transportation
regulations.
