MAL-OPS-1026 v36
1. Introduction
The D5 RIID can detect radiation from both gamma emitting and neutron emitting
sources using its CLLBC detector crystal. Its small form factor and lightweight
design make it ideal for one handed operation, with the ability to detect and
identify a range of isotopes and categorise them accordingly. The device can
operate using both rechargeable and replaceable batteries, whereby the batteries
can be easily replaced without the need for additional tools.

2.2.Detector Reference Point
The reference point for the detector crystal is marked on the D5 RIID’s outer case.
The detector crystal is cylindrical in shape, meaning that the two crosses on the
device outer casing indicate the central point in both orientations.
External markings remain fixed after normal decontamination procedures (e.g.,
water and mild, nonabrasive detergent).

2.3.Powering On/Off
To power the D5 RIID on, press and hold the power button for one second until
the screen illuminates. Release the button when the illuminated screen is shown.
To turn the D5 RIID off, press and hold the power button for five seconds until the
screen turns off.
2.4.Health Check
The D5 RIID performs a series of built-in tests upon powering on to determine if
there are any faults which affect device performance.
The device status is shown in the upper left corner.
A check mark in the top left-
hand corner indicates that
the device has no faults and
is ready to use.
An exclamation point in a
yellow triangle indicates a
fault which should be
attended to before the
device is used.
An exclamation point in a red
circle indicates an active
alarm.
Accessing information on faults is described in Section 14.
2.5.On Screen Messages
During use of the D5 RIID, messages can appear on the screen to aid use or to alert
the user to a problem. A full list of all messages is given in Section 14.
3. Batteries
The D5 RIID has an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery and replaceable AA
batteries. The device can be used with only the rechargeable batteries, only the
replaceable batteries or a combination of the two.
3.1.Charging
When power is connected via the USB cable, the D5 RIID will start charging,
indicated by the waving LED light.
Both standard AC and DC sources can be used to charge the D5 RIID.

MAL-OPS-1026 v39
When the D5 RIID is fully charged, the LED will show as a solid white light.
If the D5 RIID is powered off while charging, the indicator light will be white.
For more information on LED colours and light operation, see Section 4.
To ensure proper working of the device, the D5 RIID should be periodically
charged even when not in use.
The D5 RIID should not be charged at temperatures below 0°C.
Battery levels should be checked before every use and the battery should be
charged or the replaceable batteries should be replaced if required.
3.2.Replacing Batteries
The battery compartment can
be accessed while wearing all
manner of personal protective
equipment, including gloves.
The D clip is lifted so that it is
perpendicular to the back of
the D5 RIID. It can then be
turned anticlockwise until the
battery compartment opens.
Battery replacement can be
done without powering the D5
RIID down.
AA batteries should be
removed from the device
before storage.
3.3.Battery Indication
The battery indication is displayed as a percentage in the top right-hand corner.
The currently active battery can be viewed in the power settings (Section 9.2.2).
The user is given two battery indications for low battery. The device has a low
battery indication.

MAL-OPS-1026 v310
3.4.Earphone Connection
Earphone connection is possible through the USB-C port. Both digital and analogue
earphones can be used.
If earphones are connected, a message will appear on the screen to ensure that a
user does not inadvertently silence all alarms.
3.5.Access Modes
The D5 RIID has two access modes on the device itself and an additional mode
which is accessible via software on a laptop or PC.
Routine Mode: Accessible on the device itself and designed to enable the user to
perform detection and identification of radionuclides, measure exposure or
ambient dose equivalent rate, and if applicable, detect the presence of neutrons.
Designed to be used by any user with access to the device.
Restricted Mode: A mode that enables an expert user (via password) to control
parameters that can affect the result of a measurement. Restricted settings are
indicated by a lock icon.
Maintenance Mode: A mode only accessible when the D5 RIID is connected to a
laptop or PC, which allows control of additional parameters. This mode utilises the
D5 Settings App (Section 12).
3.6.Design
Switches and other external
controls have been designed such
that the RID can be operated
properly while minimizing
accidental or erroneous switch
operation when the user is
wearing gloves including those
that are used in cold weather or
contamination control. This
includes personal protective
gloves.
The screen has been chosen to
allow the display to remain visible
in low light and bright light.
