Page 12: Safety Instructions
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The RadEye G20 is suited to perform highly accurate dose measurements. It is however not intended for use as a legal personal dose meter. The RadEye B20 is not well suited for pulsed radiation. There will be a significant under estimation at dose rates during pulse of more than 0.2 R/h. -
Page 13: Introduction
SI-standard units of ambient dose equivalent H*(10) (= “deep dose”) and show a flat response from 17 keV to 1.3 MeV. RadEye G20 and RadEye G20-ER are energy compensated according to roentgen units (40 keV to 1.3 MeV). In this context it is important to note, that users may select “R/h, Sv/h or rem/h”... - Page 14 A real time clock is provided to add a time stamp to all buffer data. The characteristic feature of the RadEye G20 is the use of sophisticated low power technology components and mi- croprocessor based fully automatic self checks. No mainte- nance is required.

Page 15: Installation And Start-Up
2. Installation and start-up Scope of delivery The RadEye G20 instruments are delivered in a box together with two AAA cells and an operating manual. Ample space is provided for a data cable or a test adapter. Ordering information for accessories see chapter 11 RadEye G20 DB-067 E Iw/Tr/Ff 26.11.2012... -
Page 16: Inserting The Batteries
The two AAA-Alkaline cells as delivered with the instrument allow about to 900 h with RadEye G20/G20-10 respectively 700h with RadEye G20-ER/G20-ER10 of normal operation. AAA size rechargeable batteries can be used as well. • Switch off the measuring instrument. - Page 17 The measured values in the history memory remain stored. The real time clock for time stamp of history values and log- book continue operation, if batteries are exchanged without delays. If Real Time Clock is set, actual time and date is dis- played for 3 s (see chapter 2.4).

Page 18: Mounting Of The Protection Sleeve
Mounting of the protection sleeve The rubber protection sleeve improves ruggedness to mechani- cal shocks. For mounting of the sleeve first put the instrument into the bot- tom of the sleeve. Then pull lower edges of the sleeve, one after the other into its right position. -
Page 19: Switching The Unit On (Example Refers To G20-10, Calibrated In Rem/H)
Switching the unit on (example refers to G20-10, calibrated in rem/h) To switch on the RadEye G20, keep the “On/▼” button pressed for at least one second. The sound generator (beeper) is initi- ated. After switching the unit on, the RadEye G20 starts working with the parameters previously selected (operation mode, cali- bration factor, alarm thresholds etc.). - Page 20 With the setting of the history recording interval of 120 s, the last 52 hours of operation will be stored in the history memory. The parameters (except calibration parameters) can be changed with the help of RadEye buttons and the optional PC-program “RadEye.exe”...

Page 30: Alarm Thresholds
Alarm thresholds There are two alarm thresholds each allocated to dose rate and dose. In order to avoid dose alarms while using the instrument exclu- sively as a rate meter, the dose alarms can be set to the maximum level. Configuration of the alarms is possible via infrared interface or via the menu. - Page 31 Example: The dose rate alarm threshold must be changed. Press “Menu” key, and ▲/▼keys until is selected. Alarm Dose Rate Then enter change menu by press- ing “Change” key. Edit value by pressing ▲/▼, select digit by ◄/► keys Pre unit “µ” and “m” may be cho- sen as well.

Page 33: Operation
4. Operation Audible single pulse indication and finder mode With the single pulse indication being selected, each pulse of the detector generates a short audible signal emitted by the beeper. An audible alarm signal caused by exceeding the alarm threshold is not given while single pulse indication or finder mode is active. -
Page 34: Alarm Indication
Finder mode: In the Finder mode, the sound frequency depends on the pulse rate of the detector. The more detector pulses above the count rate that is present at the moment of the activation of the finder mode are captured by the detector, the higher the tone. The finder mode must be enabled in the menu. -
Page 35: Additional Information
The alarm tone and vibrator are acknowledged by a short key depression, the LED remains pulsing. The alarm is extinguished, when the first alarm threshold is remained under. Additional information In addition to the basic display, using the menu options, requests for further information can be started such as e.g. -
Page 36: Earphone
It is recommended to lock the keys when wearing the unit in the holster. Thus reduced battery time because of additional power consumption by illumination of the LCD or other unintended operations is avoided. Unlocking is performed according to the LCD instructions upon pressing any key: Press left key first, then lower key and then right key. -
Page 37: Alarm Latching
Alarm latching Via PC-program it is possible to configure an alarm latching. Alarm latching means the alarm is stored for the configured time from 0 s (= off) to 9999 s. A latched alarm is indicated by an “M” near by the alarm indica- tor. -

Page 45: Measurement Units
5. Measurement units Direction of maximum response To detect hidden radiation sources, the alarm threshold must be set to the lowest value that does not produce fail alarms. This is typical a value of 0.2 to 0.3 µSv/h (20 – 30 µrem/h, µR/h). Due to it’s almost 100 times higher efficiency for gamma emit- ters, the RadEye PRD is more suited for this task, than the RadEye G20. - Page 46 The user may as well select R/h as a displayed measuring unit with the understanding that 1 R/h is simply set equal to 1 Rem/h and that consequently energy dependant deviations to the expo- sure rate (and air kerma rate) will occur. The RadEye G20-10 and G20-ER10 is factory calibrated to the ambient dose equivalent rate H*(10) in a depth 10 mm for Cs-137 gamma radiation (662 keV).
-
Page 47: Functional Test
6. Functional test When the instrument is switched on, it will show zero dose rate until the first detector pulse occurs. The radiation meter performs continuous self-check routines. A complete failure of the detector during operation will be indicated after 1 minute on the LCD and be announced by the beeper. The same applies to the battery voltage. -
Page 48: Failure Indication
Failure indication In case of a failure the beeper generates a sharp single pulse every 32 s. The corresponding failure message is displayed in the LCD: Error high voltage generation No detector pulse within 128 seconds EEPROM with calibration data shows EEPROM Read or EEPROM Write error. -

Page 50: Response Test With Test Adapter
Response test with test adapter The test-adapter 42549/48 offers a convenient way to verify the radiation response performance of the RadEye G20. This “check source” contains 50 g of natural Lu2O3 (which corresponds to approximately 2400 Bq Lu-176). Due to the low resulting gamma dose rate this yields a net dose rate of the RadEye G20-10 of ap- proximately 0.25 µSv/h. -
Page 51: Low Battery Warning
Low Battery warning If the battery voltage is below the configured threshold (see chap- ter 4.11) the following warning appears: The beeper generates a single pulse every 32s. This acoustic warning can be suppressed by pressing the alarm acknowledge key. After 8h this warning comes up again. The battery needs to be changed. -
Page 52: Calibration Expiration Date
Calibration expiration date If the expiration date is enabled and date is expired, the following warning message is shown at start up of the RadEye: If the expiration date is enabled the RTC is not set (e.g. after change of batteries) the following warning message is shown at start up. -

Page 55: Connection To A Pc
Using the USB connection requires the installation of driver software that will generate a virtual serial port that can be selected in the RadEye.EXE software. The driver is delivered on the RadEye.EXE software installation CD ROM. Installation of a connection cable Using the hardware provided and without exerting too much force, attach the connections of the adapter cable to the PC and to the RadEye desktop holder. - Page 56 The following steps will show how to install the USB-driver under Windows XP. Power on your computer and boot to Windows. Run the driver setup program “RadEye-USB.exe”. Click Next to continue and start the installation. Wait until the InstallShield Wizard informs you that driver is successfully installed.
