command, or exposure detection). The automatic power down feature applies only when the instrument is operating from battery power. In addition, all front panel settings are saved as part of the automatic power down sequence.

Internal Electronic High Voltage Ion Chamber Bias Supply

Voltage Range: A maximum of 11 output level settings in the range of -500 V to +500 V may be programmed during user customization. Once programmed, these output levels become available for use and may be selected from either the front panel or via the RS-232 interface.

Level Accuracy: Bias voltage is warranted to be within ± 0.3 V over the full operating temperature range for loads < 0.2 mA.

Internal Verification: The voltage level is continuously measured during operation and compared to the selected setting. A “LoBias” or “HiBias” annunciator is displayed if the measured level differs from the selected setting by more than 1 V.

Capacitive Loading: Maximum ion chamber cable capacitance is 5,000 pF from ground to guard or from guard to center. For a typical 100 pF per meter triaxial cable, the maximum cable length is therefore 50 meters.

Output Current Limit: The output current is limited to < 0.5 mA for operator safety.

General

RS-232 Interface: Single RJ-45 style jack mounted on rear panel. Interface operates at 9600 bps, with 8 bits, no parity, and one stop bit. Xon/Xoff handshaking is employed.

Display: 4 line by 20 character vacuum florescent type.

Environment

Operating: 8°C to 38°C with an absolute humidity of £ 20 g/m3 (the equivalent R.H. is 75% at 25°C, 60% at 30°C, 50% at 35°C).

Storage: -25°C to +65°C. For maximum battery life, always bring the batteries to a level of full charge prior to storage, and maintain the storage temperature at 25°C or below. Under these conditions the batteries should receive an annual maintenance recharge to compensate for the self-discharge effects. Decrease the time interval between maintenance recharges by one-half for each 10°C increase in storage temperature above the 25°C baseline.

Mechanical

Dimensions: 21.6 cm wide x 8.9 cm high x 26 cm deep (10 in. x 9.4 in. x 4 in.).

Weight: 4.5 kg (10 lbs.).

1.7 Unpacking and Inspection
