1Introduction
It’s a wise choice to use Coliy’s new Radiation Scanner Model R500. It has been designed with
totally new standards and improved functions and performance. The operation is more convenient
with outstanding optional functions:
R500 can provide real time display for radiation field intensity, dose accumulation Sv,
hand-operated store, data transfer to PC in real-time, and data analysis, etc.
1. Buttons: press the button, the instrument will switch on and start to work with real time
display and abundant data measuring functions;
2. The R500 has been exhaustively tested and is a precision instrument. Each Coliy Radiation
Scanner Model R500 is subjected to a final thorough testing.
3. Rays detectable: Model R500 can reliably measure not only α, β rays, but γ and X rays as
well.
4. Low power consumption: Model R500 consumes very little power. It uses three AA batteries
which are very easily and conveniently replaced.
5. Large screen display: All values and settings are indicated on an extra-large screen.
6. Data storage: Model R500 carries high capacity internal memory to store values. Data could
be directly stored in the instrument, and then transferred to a computer. No need to record
manually. Furthermore it supports data storage for 1 minute after power down. You don’t
have to worry about losing data when replacing battery.
7. Evaluation by computer: The software provided with Model R500 enables the computer to
indicate the measuring data in real-time for you to monitor remotely, to evaluate and to store
data at any intervals set up as you like.
8. Compact design: Model R500 is very compact in its dimensions.
9. Certification: Model R500 has been tested by TUV (German Technical Control Board) for
device safety. It meets all European CE standards as well as the “FCC 15 standards” of the
USA. Model R500 may be carried on aircraft to monitor the radiation in air.
10. Alarm, data storage, Maximum recording and communication with computer.

3Instruction for Preliminary application
3.1 Application fields
In today’s world, practically everyone lives and works in an environment filled with Nuclear
Radiation fields. Various authorities have defined limit values to protect users from the excessive
exposure to Nuclear Radiation. In fact, R500 provides an appropriate instrument for each concern
with this matter to monitor the radiation and to minimize people’s apprehension for radiation
exposure. R500 can evaluate real- time radiation then transfer the data to a PC, and give a detailed
report.
3.2 Packaging and transport
The packaging is designed to be re-used as long as it has not been damaged.
Keep the original packaging and use it whenever the instrument needs to be shipped or transported.
Using damaged instrument/accessories can lead to subsequent further damage. Check the
instrument and all accessories for possible damage caused by transport when you have unpacked
them. If the instrument is damaged, do not operate the instrument.
Condensation can form on the surface of the instrument that has been stored or transported at a low
temperature before it is brought into a warmer room. It may be damaged if used. Wait until all
visible condensation has evaporated from the instrument surface to avoid damaging the instrument.
The instrument is not ready for use until it has reached its tolerance temperature range for operation.
3.3 Items included
⇒Check that all the following items have been delivered:
–R500 instrument
–Stain-proof sets (5 units available as standard)
–3 x AA alkaline batteries
–Case
–USB cable
–CD (including PC software and Operating manual)
–Calibration certificate

INSTRUCTION FOR PRELIMINARY APPLICATION

3.4 Rapid operation of R500 radiation scanner
1. Take out R500 radiation scanner, insert 3 AA alkaline batteries and screw the battery cover
tightly.
2. Press the power button for 2 seconds to start the operation.
3. Put the underside of the instrument close to target material, and test for detection of radiation.
Warning: the sensor is highly sensitive and its surface should not be touched directly by fingers
or any other material.
3.5 Slide cover use at underside of instrument
The slide is used to protect the sensor. The instruction for using the slide includes:
1. During transportation or when not in use close the slide to protect the sensor from being
damaged.
2. When detecting α, and β rays, the slide should be moved to expose the sensor because α, and β
rays can be blocked by the slide and lead to failure of detection.
3. When detecting γ and Χ rays, the slide can be closed to protect the sensor because γ and Χ rays
can completely penetrate the slide.
Warning: do not touch the surface of sensor!!
3.6 Stain-proof sets

Consumables: Stain-proof sets（5 units available as standard）
With stain proof sets, even if contacting with materials polluted by radiation there is no need for
concern just replace the stain-proof sleeve on the R500.

In standard mode, Model R500 informs you quickly and reliably of current radiation exposure.
4.1 Units Conversion: UNIT
press button, the display unit could transfer between μSv/h、average value in last 24 hrs,
cps,cpm and m rem/h.
μSv/h: international unit, microsievert per hour
Sv/h+
T
: average value of last 24 hrs.
cps: amount of ray particles/ second
cpm: amount of ray particles/minute
m rem/h：international unit, millirem per hour , 1m rem/h=10μSv/h
In order to visualize the volume of detected radiation, there is a bar diagram on the top line of
the display using symbols as 0.1,1,10,100. Note that for a small radiation value, this bar chart
appears only as a single line.
4.2 Dose accumulation: Sv
Model R500 can also be used as a dose accumulator to record the accumulated radiation value
during a period of time. At first the initial value is in μSv. When the value is accumulated the
device will convert the unit to mSv or Sv automatically on the display.
Dose accumulation Button , there are two ways to measure the dose accumulation:
1. Non-timing measure mode: Pressing button once to switch Model R500 to the dose
accumulating mode, then the display indicates “μSv” icon and starts to blink. Pressing
button once more to end dose accumulating and the blink will stop, the device will indicate the
current accumulated dose value on the display.
2. Cumulative time mode: press the button for two seconds to set measure time, the display
indicates two icons as “μSv” for dose and “min” for time. 3 digits show on the display and blink.
The default value is “060” that means 60 minutes. The Maximum time to set is 999 minutes.
Pressing or to adjust the time settings as you want. When pressing or
for 2 seconds, the value will rapidly increase or decrease. When time is set up correctly,

press to finish the time setting and the digits stop blinking.
Press again, start Dose accumulation mode, unit is “Sv”, and “TIME” blinks. It shows
the instrument is detecting. If the measure time is set up, the buzzer will sound a short warning
to remind when it is finished,. Then the dose accumulated in given time would be displayed
while “Time” would stop at current mode and stop blinking.
Stop dose accumulation: By choosing any other operating mode, it will stop dose accumulation.
4.3 Setup menu: SETUP
Press the button to switch to manual-set mode for setting DATE, TIME, Calibration
