2.1 Use and Functionality The DMC 3000 Telemetry Module is the latest accessory for use with Mirion’s DMC 3000 electronic dosimeter. It enhances the DMC 3000 family of products by offering remote monitoring functions as well as augmenting alarms through a series of bright LED indicators.
Mirion products. 2.2.2 WRM Protocol Compatible The DMC 3000 Telemetry Module uses WRM2 communications protocol, and can be used with existing telemetry software such as WinWRM2, Large Format Display, TeleView 2000 and TeleView 3000.
3.1 Attachment to and Removal of Transmitter from DMC 3000 3.1.1 Dosimeter Preparation ■ Dosimeter should be in Pause mode. ■ DMCUser’s Parameter settings shall be configured as follows: G2 Protocol ӽ For “Allow external module” select “Yes”. ӽ For “Enable external module” select “On”.

3.1.5 Self Tests In order to ensure the module preserves the longest transmit life, a battery self test and diagnostic LED sequence is performed following battery installation: ■ Upon insertion of new or unused battery, transmitter will perform a self-test with a green test pattern on the right LED.
Data exchanges are the functional information transferred between the dosimeter and the telemetry module in order to package and transmit dosimeter data. The DMC 3000 Telemetry Module has two green LEDs. Under normal conditions, they shall both flash whenever the device transmits (i.e., every 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 seconds).

4.1.3 Low/Dead Battery The telemetry module has battery indicator LEDs that flash to indicate a weakened or dead battery. ■ When the battery is weakened, the left yellow LED will flash in place of the green LED. (Yellow) (Green) ■ When the battery is dead (i.e., too weak to properly transmit), both yellow LEDs will flash in place of the green LEDs.
4.2 Battery Replacement A yellow and green flashing LED indicates the transmitter is still transmitting at a less than optimum voltage level and a battery change should be performed within the next few hours (see Section 4.1.3). The dosimeter will provide a warning upon detection of a transmitter dead battery threshold via a display indication.
Diagnostics Note: The configuration software for the DMC 3000 Telemetry Module is intended for an appropriate experienced user to modify selectable parameters outside factory default values. If a telemetry module’s configurations have been changed while attached to a dosimeter in Run mode, the dosimeter must be first put into Pause mode for the changes to take effect.
6.1 Telemetry Module Faults and the DMC 3000 During a fault with the telemetry module, the DMC 3000 will exhibit the following characteristics: ■ Dosimeter detection will not be affected by the module failure. ■ Dosimeter will retain all Dose, Max Rate, set points and status bits regardless of module status, failure or connections.
7.1 LED Summary LED Pattern Meaning ■ Proper reading and transmission of dosimeter (Green) (Green) data. ■ Indicator of new or unused battery insertion. (None) (Green) ■ Indicator of used battery insertion. (None) (Yellow) ■ Indication of a low battery during transmission (Yellow) (Green) of data.
■ Width 2.3 in. (58 mm) ■ Thickness 0.98 in. (25 mm) ■ Weight 54 g without DMC 3000 and 165 g with the DMC 3000 and AAA Battery ■ Case Blue PC/ABS plastic ■ RGB LED’s ■ Antenna Connectors Wired ■...
