Соэкс Квантум [41/44] Measurements

Measurements

After turning on, the device starts registering the radioactive

environment automatically. About 10 seconds later, the first result is

displayed and a new measurement cycle begins. The device continues taking

measurements until it is turned off, regardless of which mode is used. The

device gives the most accurate results when the accuracy indicator is

completely filled (Page 34, p. 15).

Measuring background radiation of objects

To measure background radiation of food, construction materials

and other objects proceed as follows:

1. Measure background radiation level at a distance of a few

meters from the object.

2. Bring the perforated side of the device close to the object and

measure the background radiation at a minimum distance from the object.

3. Compare the reading with the natural background radiation

level you registered in Step 1. The difference of the two readings is the

additional background radiation from the object.

To assess radioactive pollution of liquids, the measurements are

taken above the open surface of the liquid. To prevent liquid from getting on

or inside the device, we recommend you to wrap the device in a plastic bag,

but only in one layer.

Measuring accumulated dose

Measuring accumulated dose begins at the moment the device is

turned on and continues until the device is turned off, regardless of which

mode is used. The next time the device is turned on, the measurement of the

accumulated dose will continue. The data can only be reset using a PC with

«Soeks Device Manager» software.
