SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Due to the rather high detector sensitivity the dose rate meas-
uring range of the RadEye G-10 is limited to 100 mSv/h.
A correct dose integration is performed only, if the instrument
does not display over load “OVERLOAD”
The RadEye G-10 is suited to perform highly accurate dose
measurements at low to medium dose rates. It is however not
intended for use as a legal personal dose meter.
The RadEye G-10 is not well suited for pulsed radiation.
There will be a significant under estimation at dose rates dur-
ing pulse of more than 0,2 R/h.
Do not use the unit if error messages appear on the screen.
The earphone connector at the bottom side of the instrument
must be exclusively used by equipment that is specified for
use with RadEye G-10.
