After power on, the Start menu appears. Push HOME to return from any level back to the Start menu. If the detector has been in stock for a long time, it may happen that the internal clock no longer displays the current date.

    At the same time, you can also compare the measured value display in the control system for every single count rate with the measured value displayed in the LB 480 to ensure the correct transfer of the measurement signal. After this simulation has been completed, you have to switch the parameter Cps Average Mode back to NORMAL.

    Often water is used as replacement for the product. Please contact our field ser- vice staff, or BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES directly to get more infor- mation on optimum calibration. Try to record as many value pairs as possible, but use as few value pairs as possible for calibration.
  • Page 418 7 Explanations Volume 3 7.4.1 Explanation on the Calibration of Lower Cali- bration Point This empty calibration will have influence on the whole curve. Due to this, all count rates will be adjusted. That will keep the shape of the curve, because all calibration points are extrapolated as per- centage of the difference between the old- and the new "lower cal- ibration point".
