TM-91N 1. INTRODUCTION This manual contains valuable information about the nature of ionizing radiation that should be understood by the user so that accurate measurements can be made. Information on the care of your Geiger counter is also included. If the...
TM-91N 2. SAFETY PRECAUTION CAUTION Take extremely care for the following conditions while measuring CAUTION Please put the radiation monitor into a plastic zipper bag before operating it in a radiative contaminated area to avoid radiative dust falling on the monitor’s surface...

TM-91N they are exposed to the object(see Figure (Figure 1) If the unit shows a significantly higher reading with increasing beep sound volume in this position, you can be certain that the object is emitting Beta radiation. Now position the unit as shown in Figure 2.
TM-91N (Figure 2) This is the position in which to hold the geiger counter to take readings. 6. BATTERY REPLACEMENT WARNING If the symbol ” ” appears on the LCD, please replace the battery immediately Use “-” form screwdriver to insert into battery cover hole (OPEN).
TM-91N (Figure 3) 7. NOTICE Geiger Counter to be accurate within reasonable standards of acceptance, and includes instructions that, if followed ,will yield accurate measurements. Manufacturer assumes no liability for damages, consequential or otherwise that may arise from the use of the Geiger counter by any person, under any circumstances.
TM-91N 8. INTERACTION OF RADIATION WITH MATTER The particles and photons that result from nuclear decay carry most of the energy released from the original unstable nucleus. The value of this energy is expressed in electron Volts, or eV. The energy of beta and alpha rays is invested in the particles speed.

TM-91N the surface. Due to short range, alpha particles are not a serious health hazard unless they are emitted from within the body when their high energy, in close contact with sensitive living tissue their high energy, in close contact with sensitive living tissue, is an extreme hazard.
TM-91N The highly energetic X-ray and gamma rays lose their energy as they penetrate matter. X-rays have an energy of up to about 200,000 eV, compared to gamma radiation which can be as energetic as several million eV. One million e V gamma radiation can penetrate an inch of steel.
