Model 3440 D-15
The gauge user should perform a visual inspection of the
nuclear gauge to determine if the source housing or
shielding has been damaged.
Use a survey meter (such as the TroxAlert Survey Meter) to
measure the dose rate at a distance of 1 m (3 ft.) from the
gauge.
Contact the company RSO (name and number given at the
beginning of this section). Provide the RSO with the
following:
a. The date, time, and location of the accident
b. The gauge model and serial number
c. The nature of the accident
d. The location and condition of the gauge and/or source
e. The dose rate at 1 m (3 ft.) from the gauge
If you are unable to reach the RSO, then call your regulatory
agency (name and number given at the beginning of this
section).
Follow the instructions of the RSO. The RSO may need to
report the incident to the regulatory agency. The RSO may
also be required to notify the USDOT of accidents during
transport.
Before shipping a damaged gauge to Troxler, obtain an RGA
(Returned Goods Authorization) number from the Troxler
Customer Service Department, as described in the Returning
the Gauge for Service section on page A–22.
