Honeywell PCR-300 RC manual Installation and commissioning, Safety precautions

Page 5

INever expose the unit to excessive heat, dust and vibrations. Avoid knocks and pressure loads. If the housing is damaged, there is a risk of an electric shock causing death or injury.

IIf the unit cannot be operated without the risk of danger, it must be taken out of service and precautions taken so that it cannot be switched on again unintentionally.

This applies, in particular, if:

u The housing has damage which is visible, u the unit is no longer operational or

u it has been stored for a long time in unfavourable conditions.

IThe unit must not be opened. If it is thought that the unit may be defective, send it back to the dealer or manufacturer with a precise description of the fault.

4.2 Safety precautions

IAll electromagnetic loads (solenoid valves, contactors, alarm horns, motors) should be interference suppressed directly at the coil with RC elements.

IPlease note the maximum contact rating of the relays and terminals.

If this is not observed, there is a risk that the contacts may pit or stick, with the result that the refrigeration system will not operate correctly and the refrigerated items may be damaged.

ISensor leads are to be routed separately from mains voltage wires. The clearance should be at least 5 cm.

ISensor leads must not be routed in multiple cables with other leads carrying mains voltage, otherwise the system may malfunction.

ITighten the terminals carefully; excessive strain will result in damage to the controller.

IPCR-300RC:Set DIP switch 2 to “off” if the controller is going to be out of service for more than 3 months and when the controller is shipped. This is to prevent damage occurring to the back-up battery.

This portability does not compromise its robust construction and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. With an intuitive user interface, the device allows users to operate it effectively even with minimal training.

One of the standout features of the PCR-300 is its dual-range detection capability. It can accurately measure gamma radiation levels across a wide spectrum, providing real-time data to users. The instrument is equipped with a scintillation detector, which enhances its radiation sensitivity, allowing for the detection of low levels of radiation that other devices might miss.

Additionally, the PCR-300 RC model includes advanced communication capabilities, which enable users to transmit data wirelessly. This feature is particularly beneficial for teams in the field, as it allows for instant data sharing and collaboration, enhancing situational awareness during critical missions.

Another notable technology incorporated into the PCR-300 series is its built-in GPS function. This feature facilitates the tracking of radiation readings along with geographical locations, providing crucial context during surveying or emergency response. The device is designed to store measurement data, allowing for easy retrieval and analysis after the mission is complete.

Durability is also a focus in the design of the PCR-300. The device is built to resist water and dust ingress, adhering to high IP (Ingress Protection) ratings. This ensures that the device can operate effectively in various environmental conditions without fear of damage.

Battery life is another important aspect of the PCR-300, with an extended operational time that allows users to conduct lengthy assessments without frequent recharging. The intuitive display screen provides clear visual feedback, showing real-time radiation levels, battery status, and operational alerts.

In summary, the Honeywell PCR-300 and PCR-300 RC are sophisticated tools equipped with cutting-edge technology. Their combination of portability, dual-range detection, GPS functionality, and advanced communication features make them indispensable for professionals tasked with monitoring radiation in diverse settings. With a focus on durability and extended battery life, these devices ensure that safety and efficiency are always prioritized in radiation detection efforts.
