RS-232 Receptacle (RJ-45 Style): The RS-232 Computer Interface is used for computer controlled factory test, for calibration, for customization, and for remote control/data acquisition.

AC Line Power Receptacle: The AC line input range is 100 - 240 VAC (47 - 63 Hz). AC line voltage within the specified range has no effect on any dosimeter measurements. The IEC 320/C13 style receptacle permits worldwide operation by simply changing the line cord.

Triaxial Ion Chamber Input: This input is preferred in semi-permanent setups where the dosimeter is stationary at the treatment console. The rear triaxial is wired in parallel with front panel input.

NOTE

Do NOT attach ion chambers to both the front and rear connectors at the same time. The signals will be the summation of the two inputs and may result in erroneous readings.

3.4 Powering The System

The Model 35040 Therapy Dosimeter may be operated from either line or battery power. The line receptacle at the rear panel of the Model 35040 Therapy Dosimeter mates with a 3-wire line cord to provide a connection to line voltage (high, neutral and earth ground).

WARNING

When powering the Model 35040 Therapy Dosimeter from an AC line, always use a 3-wire grounding type line cord such as the one supplied with the dosimeter. In addition, only connect the Model 35040 Therapy Dosimeter to an AC power outlet employing a third wire safety ground. Failure to ground the Model 35040 Therapy Dosimeter may result in personal injury or death in the event of a short circuit or malfunction.
