SETUPS AND LOGGED DATA WILL BE PERMANENTLY LOST. 1. Turn the Model 2350-1 ON. The display will temporarily go black and then the following two displays will appear for a few seconds each. Then the display that was active when the instrument was turned off will appear.
MODEL 2350-1 Data Logger 1. INITIAL INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION 10. If the instrument does not read approximately 300 kC/m adjust the gain pot (R10) on the main board until it reads properly. NOTE: The instrument threshold is now set at 100 = 10 mV 11.

1. INITIAL INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION 1.2 Instrument Calibration (cont.) Alarm Checkout 1. Connect the Model 2350-1 to the pulser. 2. Set the pulse frequency to 600k cpm. 3. Select the Alarm Display (SVD3). 4. Set the integrated dose alarm to 100k cpm (P1E5).
To insure that the proper sized sources are used in calculating the calibration constant, and dead time of the Model 2350-1 and detectors the following calculation should be performed. % Dead Time Loss = No. of source counts in 1 second X Dead Time (in seconds)
MODEL 2350-1 Data Logger 2. CALIBRATION ROUTINES 2.1 High Voltage Ramp Routine The high voltage ramp routine is useful when a user needs to plateau a detector to determine the proper operating voltage of the detector. The following display will appear when performing the routine.

MODEL 2350-1 Data Logger 2. CALIBRATION ROUTINES The following example demonstrates how to run a plateau on a Model 44-2 Gamma Scintillator. KEYSTROKES RESPONSE Note: Before performing the SHR(x) command, certain parameters must be set. The parameters that need to be set include the threshold, window position, and count time.
MODEL 2350-1 Data Logger 2. CALIBRATION ROUTINES 2.2 Calibration Constant and Dead Time Calibration with Background Subtract This routine will use a two point (low-hi) method to calculate the calibration constant and dead time of the detector. The following display will appear when performing the routine.
