2.3.13 Instability of comparison of registered DER value with threshold value for 24 h of continuous operation no more than 2.3.14 Device should not produce visual and audible alarm when substances as follow are present in air: - gasoline at vapor concentration no more than 1.5 mg/l - diesel fuel (used both in summer and...
2.4 Design and theory of operation 2.4.1 The device consists of two independent modules: - gamma radiation detection module (GMM); - toxic substance vapor detection module (TSM). The dose equivalent rate is registered in the mode of detection of exceeding the set thresholds of gamma radiation using GMM based on the Geiger-Muller counter.

2.4.5 Marking and sealing The logo and name of the manufacturer, name of the device, IP code, and the device serial number are inscribed on the device. The "Radiation danger" sign with the source type and its activity is marked on the bottom side of the device housing. A seal that prevents an unauthorized opening of the device is placed in the faceplate of the device in the screw groove.
3 USE OF THE DEVICE 3.1 Preparation for use 3.1.1 General information 3.1.1.1 When buying the device please check the delivery kit according to clause 2.2.1 and perform the device operation check up according to clause 3.1.4. The device should not be subjected to severe mechanical shocks, any strong chemicals and solvents and open fire sources.
3.2 Device operation 3.2.1 Turning on the device turn, testing and calibration 3.2.1.1 To turn the device ON, press the ON/OFF button 8 (Figure 2). The device enters the test mode after it is turned ON or after the batteries are replaced. While the device is in this mode, Red-LED and Yellow-LED are flashing in turn.
