Beginning To Use The Device - SOEKS ECOTESTER Gebrauchanleitung

1. Install the power source (page 29,38)
2. Turn the device on (page 39)
3. Before you begin measurements, we recommend that you tune up the
device (page 36)
4. Select the 'Measuring' menu item.
After turning on, the unit begins to examine the radioactive
situation. In 10 seconds approximately you will see the first readings on the
display, and the next measuring cycle will begin. Be sure that at least 4 or 5
cycles run to achieve accurate results.
If the readings are higher than the natural radiation background
typical for the locale, this means that the examined object is contaminated by
radiation.
Results obtained using the device can not be used for official
conclusions regarding the radiological situation.
Measuring radiation background of objects
To measure radiation background of foodstuffs, building materi-
als and other things do this sequence:
1. Measure the level of radiation background several meters away from the
target.
2. Move the device directly to the target and measure radiation background
as close as possible to the target.
3. Compare the resulting data with the radiation background level measured
in step 1.
The difference of readings in step 1 and step 2 will represent the
radiation background of the target.
To evaluate radioactive contamination of liquids, the unit must be
placed above open surface of the liquid. To protect the unit from contact with
the liquid, it is recommended that the unit should be wrapped in a polyethyl-
ene bag, but ensuring that the wrapping is one layer of plastic only.
● In the measuring mode, press any button to return to the root menu.
● If the screen goes blank, press any button to reactivate it.
