Description
The detector assembly should be replaced by a qualified
technician knowledgeable in dealing with radiation
precautions. By removing the detector assembly, the C-14
radioactive source is partially exposed. Safety glasses
must be worn during this replacement procedure. The
amount of C-14 meets the USNRC regulations as an
exempt amount of radioactive source <100 μCi.
The detector window is very fragile. Handle with great
care and do not wipe or touch the window. Furthermore,
do not touch the solder cable connection (electrode) with
your bare fingers. The oils from your skin can damage
the detector.
Safety glasses must be worn while replacing the
