Leak Testing
Routine leak testing of the Model 4540 is not
required in the USA due to the low activity of the
source. However, if you desire to perform a leak test
of the Model 4540, please perform the following using
the Troxler Model 3880 Leak Test Kit (P/N 102868)
and accompanying instructions.
1. Write the date, gauge model number, and serial
number on the sample form and label.
2.
Ensure that the source rod is in the SAFE position.
3. Turn the gauge on its side and locate the opening
where the source rod extends through the gauge
base.
4. Holding the wipe disk with tongs, wipe the area
around and inside the opening where the source
rod extends from the gauge base.
5. Pack the disk, as instructed, in the envelope
and mail to Troxler Electronic Laboratories,
Inc. for analysis.
6. Secure the gauge properly.
