9 Tutorial
This chapter guides you through an exemplary survey with the radEAGLET-R. A typical sce-
nario is to survey objects for radioactive radiation, to locate and identify the radiation source,
to document the results, and to share them with your team or supervisor. Common practice
might include the following steps:
1. Turn on the radEAGLET-R (see 9.1, p. 127).
2. Survey the environment (see 9.2, p. 130).
3. Locate a radiation source (see 9.3, p. 133).
4. Identify the Radiating Nuclide (see 9.4, p. 135).
5. Transfer Results (see 9.5, p. 138).
6. Turn off the radEAGLET-R (see 9.6, p. 141).
The steps listed above include those outlined in chapter 5.6.2 of the "ANSI N42.34-
2015" standard.
Your organization or institution probably has its own standard operation procedures
(SOP). If available, you should adhere to those SOP.
Before you go through this chapter, you should should familiarize yourself with the
radEAGLET-R (1.5.2, p. 16) and its accessories (1.5.3, p. 19) and the principles of opera-
tion described in chapter 2, p. 23.
This chapter is not a complete description of the radEAGLET-R but outlines just one
of the many possible workflows.
Detailed descriptions of all the functions and commands are provided in the other
chapters, mainly chapter 5, p. 47. The steps mentioned here contain precise cross
references to the corresponding sections.
9.1 Turn on the radEAGLET-R
To turn on the radEAGLET-R...
1. Position the instrument in a low-radiation environment.
2. If your model is not equipped with an internal source, position the supplied KCl box
(Fig. 16, p. 31) in front of the detector.
3. Press and hold down the
4. After a couple of seconds the alarm LEDs flash and the instrument begins to boot.
5. You are welcomed by the start-up screen with dots appearing from left to right.
