the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired. ▲
The service procedures in this manual are restricted to
qualified service personnel only. ▲
The detector assembly should be replaced by a qualified
technician knowledgeable in dealing with radiation
precautions. By removing the detector assembly, the C-14
radioactive source is partially exposed. Safety glasses
must be worn during this replacement procedure. The
amount of C-14 meets the USNRC regulations as an
exempt amount of radioactive source <100 Ci. ▲
The detector pre-amp assembly has a power backup built
in. “DO NOT OPEN” caution handeling. Backup power
will dissipate after 8 hours. ▲
CAUTION The detector window is very fragile. Handle with great
care and do not wipe or touch the window. Furthermore,
do not touch the solder cable connection (electrode) with
your bare fingers. The oils from your skin can damage the
detector. ▲
Safety glasses must be worn while replacing the detector
assembly. ▲
