Chapter 2: Features
The Inspector EXP measures alpha, beta, gamma, and x-ray radiaon. It is opmized to detect small changes
in radiaon levels and to have high sensivity to many common radionuclides. For more informaon,
see Appendix A, Sensivity to Common Radionuclides. This chapter briey describes the Inspector EXP’s
funcons. For more informaon on how to use the Inspector EXP, see Chapter 3: Operaon. The Inspector EXP
counts ionizing events and displays the results on the liquid crystal display (LCD). You control which unit of
measurement is shown by using the mode switch. Whenever the Inspector EXP is operang, the red count light
ashes each me a count (an ionizing event) is detected Figure 2 (8).
The LCD Display Figure 2 (1)
The LCD (liquid crystal display. Figure 1) shows various indicators according to the mode seng, funcon(s)
being performed, and baery condion as shown below.
Indicators
• X1000 (A) appears when the numeric display is to be mulplied by 1000.
• TOTAL (B) appears when the Inspector EXP is in Timed Count (Total/Timer) mode.
• An hourglass (C) appears to the le of the numeric display during a med count.
• A Radiaon Symbol (D) appears to the le of the numeric display when the Alert mode is acvated.
• A Baery Icon (E) appears to the le of the numeric display indicang low baery voltage.
• The Isotope Icons (F) idenfy the user selected isotope eciency for calculang acvity. See Chapter 9:
Built in Isotope Eciencies.
• MENU (G) appears upon entering the menu.
• SET (H) appears when you are seng the mer (the numeric display shows the med period instead of
the current radiaon level) and while adjusng sengs in the Ulity and Alarm Menus.
• The current unit of measurement (I)—CPM, CPS, mR/hr, µSv/hr, Bq, or DPM—is displayed to the right of
the numeric display.
• The Numeric Display (J) shows the current radiaon level in the unit specied by the mode switch seng.
• RANGE:Full (K) appears when the radiaon present exceeds the upper detecon limit of the Inspector
EXP.
• RECORDING (L) appears when the Inspector EXP is logging data to the internal memory.
• On/O (M) indicates that a feature is on or o in the ulity menu.
