Gauge Use Precautions
The following precautions should be observed when
transporting, storing, maintaining, or operating the gauge.
Never touch the unshielded tip of the source rod with your
bare hands.
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.
Do not store or transport the gauge unless the source is in
the SAFE position.
The package should be inspected prior to each shipment.
The package should be securely blocked and braced in
the vehicle to prevent shifting during transport.
When preparing a test site, use the drill rod assembly to drill
the test hole. Under no circumstances should the source
rod of the gauge be used to drill holes.
Do not tamper with or modify the gauge. Also, do not
remove the sealed source from the gauge. Tampering with
or modifying the gauge or removing the sealed source can
be dangerous.
Before shipping a gauge to Troxler for service or repair,
obtain an RGA (Returned Goods Authorization) number
from the Troxler Customer Service Department, as
described in Appendix A.
