We thank you for purchase of the personal radiation detector of “Polimaster” Before the beginning of operation with the personal radiation detector you should get acquainted with the present manual. During the search of radiation sources observe the existing rules of operation with radio active materials and sources, as well as the standards of radiation safety.

CLAMP INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL A removable clamp is provided to the indicator for wearing at the waist belt. The clamp may be removed with the aid of a screw driver, as shown in fig.1a. The clamp is installed according to fig. 1б. By an individual order the indicator may be provided with a protecting housing made of synthetic cloth , also providing possibility of wearing at the waist belt.

The processor counts the value of the gamma channel operation threshold Operation threshold = N + n * N – average speed of counting impulses over the calibration time n – number of mean square deviations ( n factor of the gamma channel). n factor changes the value of the operation threshold (the minimum detection level), the less n factor, the less threshold value is and the higher indicator sensitivity is.

In this mode the indicator operation is carried out to the following thresholds: 1) The fixed threshold by MED, set up in the communication mode with the PC by the user- administrator; When the installed threshold is exceeded by MED the indicator sends light, sound and/or vibrating signals.
It should be borne in mind that in case of false operations the signals (light, sound and/or vibrating) are not systematic, and therefore, they differ from detection signals in case of II availability, with their frequency being constant and increasing as far as approaching to II. In case of II detection or if any information is available about possible II availability, II localization is started.
the searching function is additionally included in the measuring mode (see the order chart – attachment SEARCH MODE "0-9". In the searching mode "0-9" digits from 0 to 9 are indicated on the LCD display. Compliance of MED values by γ - channel and digits indicated on the indicator LCD is shown in the table. Indicated figure Range of From...
INDICATION MODE OF AVERAGE SPEED OF GAMMA RADIATION INDICATION DURING ACCUMULATION (only for РМ1703М-О1) In this mode in the upper line of LCD a γ is blinking, and the average count time is shown during accumulation time (s The lower LCD line shows the value of the statistical error of the average count speed in percents.
COMMUNICATION MODE BY RADIO CHANNEL WITH POCKET PC In the communication mode with РРС by radio channel, of Bluetooth type the modification indicators: РМ1703МВ, РМ1703GNB make it possible to identify the radio nuclide substance composition. For setting the communication between the indicator and the "Bluetooth" mode should be switched on in the indicator.
- the preset value is to be checked or a new value of the fixed threshold is to be set for the searching mode "0-9" (the threshold setting range constitutes 1.0 – 99.0 s , recommended – 1.5 s ) (РМ1703GNО, РМ1703GNА, РМ1703GNВ);...
Subsequent pressings of the LIGHT push button reduce the preset value of n factor with pitch 0,1. Subsequent pressings of the MODE push button increase the preset value of n factor with pitch 0,1. If the push buttons are kept pressed the values are reduced or increased accelerated with the same pitch. After setting the required n-factor of the gamma channel after expiry of approximately 6 s after the last pressing the push button the indicator will automatically be shifted to the calibration mode.
For changing the value of the threshold of the neutrons count one should shortly press LIGHT push button during subsequent four seconds. The preset threshold value will blink what shows its possible change. If the LIGHT button was not pressed during the said time interval, the indicator automatically returns to the working mode.
- being so, “Vibr-oFF” or “Vibr-on” message will appear on the LCD. The abbreviated note "Vibr" – indicates the vibrating indication, notes "oFF" (“on”) – the off (on) state of the vibrating indication. Setting of and removal from this mode is performed by actions similar to the aforesaid ones. SETTING THE SOUND INDICATION VOLUME.
