1 Welcome
This chapter oers introductory information about this manual, some important advice for
your safety and that of the instrument, and an overview of the radEAGLET-R, its accessories,
and applications.
1.1 Conventions Used in This Document
This document uses the following conventions to signify various kinds of text.
Ordinary Text
looks like this, sometimes bold or italics is used for emphasis.
Constant Width
is used for le names, path names, Internet links, or text you have to enter somewhere.
Indicates a specic danger to yourself, your data, or the instrument. Please make
sure you carefully read these passages.
Information you should carefully consider before proceeding.
Important information you should pay attention to.
Suggested commands or procedures for advanced usage. You might skip these tips
on your rst pass through this document.
Information related to optional features not applicable to all models of the
radEAGLET-R.
If you read this document as a PDF le, you can click cross references, items in the
table of contents, links into the Internet or similar, to immediately view the designated
item.
1.2 Safety Warnings
The radEAGLET-R is designed for outdoor use. When operated in accordance with the op-
erating instructions, it should not present any hazard to the operator.
The radEAGLET-R is not certied for use in explosive environments.
Do not unscrew the housing of the radEAGLET-R. There are no user servicable parts
inside.
Various components inside the radEAGLET-R use high voltages posing a severe health
risk for you.

1.3 Instrument Safety radEAGLET-R User Manual
The power adaptor is connected to line power. Normal care in handling such a line
power device should be exercised. In particular this unit should not be connected to
line power if it is wet.
The radEAGLET-R might contain lithium ion batteries (see 8.1.1, p. 121 and E.1,
p. 153). Please comply with the relevant transport regulations especially for air cargo.
If in doubt, ask your carrier.
The nature of the application is such that objects you survey with the radEAGLET-R
could emit ionizing radiation with hazardous intensity.
1.3 Instrument Safety
The detector crystals built into in the radEAGLET-R are brittle. To enjoy a long-lasting
performance of your instrument, avoid drops or other severe impacts.
Detector crystals may fracture under rapid temperature change. This could occur, for
example, when transporting the instrument in a air-conditioned vehicle and unloading
it in extremeley cold or hot environments. Sudden temperature change must not
exceed 40 °C (72 °F) in order to avoid damages.
The rechargeable batteries of the radEAGLET-R should not be completely discharged.
If you don’t use the instrument make sure to charge the batteries at least once a year.
1.4 Before First Use
We recommend charging the batteries of the radEAGLET-R after unpacking prior
to rst time use (8.4, p. 126). Charging is also recommended after shipping the
radEAGLET-R via air cargo because lithium ion batteries charged above 30 % are not
allowed as air cargo.
This is a good time to get familiar with the radEAGLET-R by reading this manual.
Please read at least the rest of this chapter and those on basic operation (chapter 2,
p. 23) before starting to experiment with the radEAGLET-R.
Chapter 2, p. 23 explains the principles of operating the radEAGLET-R.
The fundamental modes of operation of the radEAGLET-R are detailed in chapter 3, p. 35,
followed by explanations of the radEAGLET-R alarms in chapter 4, p. 43.
A detailed reference on all the commands is given in chapter 5, p. 47, which you should read
to know about all the features and possibilities in case you need them.
The web interface for monitoring, conguring and transferring data is detailed in chapter 7,
p. 99.

radEAGLET-R User Manual Welcome
Chapter 8, p. 121 details the power supply for the radEAGLET-R and the handling of various
battery types.
The appendix comprises
• information about the nuclides the radEAGLET-R can identify (Appendix A, p. 143),
• a glossary of terms and technological background (Appendix B, p. 145 and C, p. 147)
• a trouble shooting guide (Appendix D, p. 151)
• an info pool (Appendix E, p. 153) with certicates, specication data etc.
Several models of the radEAGLET-R are available (see E.1, p. 153 for details), all of
which are covered in this document. The few cases where a feature of a certain
model diers from the main stream are marked in the text.
1.5 The radEAGLET-R
The radEAGLET-R is a new generation radio-isotope identication device (RIID). It consists of
the following components:
• Scintillation detector using either a sodium iodide NaI(Tl), a lanthanum bromide
LaBr3(Ce), or a cerium bromide CeBr3crystal.
• Geiger-Müller detector
Neutron detector
• Multi-Channel Analyzer (MCA) for spectral data readout of the scintillation detector
• Computational subsystem that includes LCD screen, keyboard, status LEDs, vibrator
and speaker
GPS Receiver
1.5.1 Detectors
Each component has a dedicated purpose. The scintillator is the primary detector of the
instrument and would be used for multiple purposes including pulse height analysis and dose
rates.
1.5.1.1 Scintillation Detector
The scintillation detector is used to collect the pulse height spectrum of the gamma photons
that interact with the scintillation crystal. The dierent radioisotopes each have specic
decay schemes and some emit gamma photons that can be analyzed and used to determine
the radiation source. (ǻScintillation Detector)

1.5 The radEAGLET-R radEAGLET-R User Manual
1.5.1.2 Geiger-Müller Detector
The dose rate is determined by either the scintillation detector or the internal Geiger-Müller
tube. When the dose rate at the scintillator surface exceeds 200 µSv/h, the Geiger-Müller
tube will perform the dose rate measurement. This tube is suited for measuring dose rates
up to 1 Sv/h. (ǻGeiger-Müller detector)
If the Geiger-Müller detector kicks in, you are already in an extremely dangerous level
of radiation. You should increase distance and shielding between yourself and the
source. Additionally, you should restrict the time you stay within this eld to an abso-
lute minimum.
1.5.1.3 Neutron Detector
This item is available for radEAGLET-R models with a neutron detector (see E.1,
p. 153).
The neutron detector continuously runs and acquires the current neutron counts per sec-
