Exceeding Alert Level Threshold of the Dose Rate (w/ALERT version)

Gamma-Scout also provides information about which dose, accumulated over the time axis, has

arrived at the device. As described below, users can stop summation, restart from an old level, or

delete and restart from zero. Because of this, and other reasons, the dose accumulation can not be

usedasanofciallycertied“personaldosemeter.”

GAMMA-SCOUT

w/ALERT features an acoustic beep that sounds when radiation levels exceed a

specicuser-programmedlevel(every8secondsandintervalof3tones).Thedefaultalertlevelis

5µSv/h.Ifthisvalueisexceededbymeasurementofradioactivity,thiswillbeshownwithanaddi-

tional symbol in the display. Erasing the symbol in the display is done by pressing the button

twice .

Individual Programming of Alert Level of the Dose Rate

Pressing the button once controls the protocol (see page 13). A second pressing changes to

status “alert level programming.” The set level is displayed. The button increases the threshold;

the button decreases the threshold. The new value is displayed, blinking.

The lowest value (threshold possible to insert) is 0.1 µSv/h. The step change is 0.1 µSv/h in the

lowerlevel,andbecomeswiderinthehigherlevel(tryout).Themaximumpossiblealertlevelis950

µSv/h. Press the button to save the new selected level.
