Victoreen 190
Operators Manual
•
Rate/Integ toggles the alphanumeric display between the digitized rate value and the integrate
value.
•
Resp Time changes the response time on the first range or resets the integrate value and elapsed
time (if pressed and held for three seconds).
•
Audio toggles the click output associated with counting events in the detector on/off and
acknowledges alarms.
•
On/Off turns instrument power on/off when permitted by the microprocessor (i.e., when Logging is
inactive or all logged data has been uploaded to a computer).
The batteries (four) are housed in a separate compartment accessed from the instrument back panel. All
four 9-volt alkaline batteries are required to operate the unit for approximately 200 hours. Visual and
audible low battery indications are provided whenever battery power is low (four minute intervals for the
audible and continuous for the visual after a battery test).
Communication with the Model 190 is accomplished through an optional infrared two-way adapter, Model
190-1A, which mounts at the top of the instrument. The adapter provides positive keying with the
instrument for stable connection and communication.

1.2 Specifications
