SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Due to the rather high detector sensitivity the dose rate meas-
uring range of the SENTINEL RadEye G is limited to 10 R/h.
A correct dose integration is performed only, if the instrument
does not display over load “OVERLOAD”
The SENTINEL RadEye G is suited to perform highly accu-
rate dose measurements at low to medium dose rates. It is
however not intended for use as a legal personal dose meter.
The SENTINEL RadEye G is not well suited for pulsed radia-
tion. There will be a significant under estimation at dose rates
during 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 SENTINEL RadEye G.
