1. INTRODUCTION
This document contains operating instructions for the Multi-Purpose
Survey Meter RDS-110. It will describe the operation of the software
version 3.010 or newer.
The RDS-110 is a microprocessor based Multi-Purpose Survey Meter
designed for monitoring gamma, X-ray and beta radiation. Because of
its versatile functions and durability it has a wide range of applications,
e.g. in the military, civil defence and rescue or industrial use.
The radiation is detected by one halogen quenched, energy compensated
GM tube, which combined with the microprocessor technology, backed
up by an advanced counting algorithm, gives a reliable response even in
low background radiation fields.
An external beta or gamma probe can be connected to the RDS-110, for
example for contamination or remote control measurements.
One dose rate alarm, one dose alarm or with external beta probe one
CPS rate alarm threshold can be set in the meter. Audible alarms are
given when either the dose rate, accumulated dose or CPS rate exceeds
the corresponding programmed threshold level. CPS rate alarm is active
only when an external beta probe is connected.
The alarm levels can also be disabled. Even in this case the user is not
left totally unprotected as the meter gives an alarm if the dose, dose rate
or CPS rate measurement range has overflowed.
