POINTRAC 31 • 8/16 mA/HART - four-wire
Setup: Settings, e.g. for measurement loop name, isotope, applica-
tion, background radiation, adjustment, signal output
Display: Settings, for example language, measured value display
Diagnosis: Information, for example, of device status, peak value,
simulation
Additional adjustments: Instrument unit, reset, date/time, copying
function
Info: Instrument name, hardware and software version, date of manu-
facture, instrument features
Check if the correct language is already set for the display. If not, you
can change the language in the menu item "Display/Language".
Start with the setup of POINTRAC 31.
In the main menu point "Setup", the individual submenu points should
be selected subsequently and provided with the correct parameters
to ensure the optimum adjustment of the measurement. The proce-
dure is described in the following.
Possibly keep the sequence of the menu items.
Adjustment
In this menu item you can assign an unambiguous name to the sen-
sor or the measurement loop.
This parameter is described in the operating instructions manual
"Display and adjustment module".
In this menu item you can adjust the POINTRAC 31 to the integrated
isotope in the source container.
For this purpose, check which isotope is integrated in the source
container. You can find this information on the type label of the source
container.
Through this selection, the sensitivity of the sensor is adapted
perfectly to the isotope. The normal reduction of the emitter activity is
hence considered through the radioactive decay.
The POINTRAC 31 requires this information of the automatic decay
compensation. This ensures an interference-free measurement over
