You can mount the MINITRAC 31 in any position. If you have ordered
your instrument with a lead cover as a protection against ambient
radiation (optionally), the the sensor is shielded laterally against X-ray
radiation. In this case, the radiation can only penetrate frontally.
Fasten the sensors in such a way that they cannot fall out of the
holder.
Direct the exit angle of the source container to the MINITRAC 31.
Mount the source container as close as possible to the vessel. If there
are gaps, secure the area with a safety fence and protective grating
so that no one can reach into the dangerous area.
