Ronan's Monitor Systems use a sealed radioactive cesium
(Cs-137) source which is safe if handled properly.
Most Level Monitors are mounted to large vessels.
Installations on vessels that permit personnel access require
a specific license. Your company's specific license will
name a Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) or Radiation
Protection Officer (RPO). The RSO for your company
must be notified immediately upon receipt of the gage. DO
NOT proceed with unpacking, storage, or installation
without the RSO's authorization.
Other monitor systems, such as Density Monitors, are
mounted to small-diameter process pipes. Those
applications do not require a specifically licensed person to
unpack or mount the equipment, as long as the source
holder remains padlocked in the OFF position. Only a
specifically licensed individual is permitted to remove the
padlock and turn the source holder to the ON position.
Ronan’s field service personnel are available for advice or
assistance. (859) 342-8500.
All equipment manufactured by Ronan is carefully
packaged to prevent shipping damage. Unpack the
equipment in a clean, dry area.
Examine the contents and compare them to the packing list.
Immediately report any discrepancy or damage to Ronan,
the company’s RSO, and the carrier. File a claim with the
carrier.
If it is necessary to store this equipment before mounting,
the RSO will assign a safe and secure location with no
personnel access.
During storage avoid temperatures below freezing, and
areas with excessive humidity, moisture, or dirt.
The source holder is equipped with an ON/OFF mechanism.
