Detector Calibration Procedure
The following procedure is recommended to assure an accurate calibration of the Model 943-27 Current
Mode Beta scintillation detector.
Equipment Required:
1. Detector to be calibrated
2. Electronics to be used with the detector
3. Calibration sources P/N 844-130-1-12, 844-1-130-1-13 and 844-130-1-14.
4. Data Sheet: The data sheets are used to delineate the minimum recording requirements. The
baseline calibration data is supplied at the time of installation. Record all identification
information on the data sheet prior to doing any measurements. The expected calibration
values must be corrected for decay prior to doing the calibration. Refer to the calibration
procedures in Appendix B for sample data sheets.
