Calibration, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
5.1 Calibration
5.1.1 Precautions
Only trained and qualified personnel operating within the protocols of an approved radiation protection
program should be permitted to calibrate any radiation detector.
5.1.2 Exposure
The Model 1060 is calibrated at the factory against NIST traceable standards. The calibration is detector
specific.
Calibrations other than to standard nuclides are available upon request. Model 1060s will always provide
raw counts, but if calibrated, will also provide engineering unit information.
5.2 Maintenance
The instrument power should be turned OFF any time that the instrument is opened to prevent possible
damage.
Many components on the printed circuit board are
static sensitive. ESD precautions should be
observed when handling the printed circuit board
assembly.
If readings from a device's position indicates that
the radiation rate is relatively high, CAUTION
should be observed when replacing or working on
this unit. High rates can quickly cause the
operator's cumulative exposure to increase with the
potential for injury.
There is a potential shock hazard when the Model
1060 board is exposed and the unit is operating. Be
especially careful not to touch any components in
the high voltage area, or connections to the
detector.
