4 radEAGLET-R Warnings and Alarms
When the radEAGLET-R detects radiation above preset thresholds (see 5.17, p. 75), warn-
ings and alarms are reported via several annunciators:
Main Display
Details of the alarm are shown on-screen, no matter which other activity was displayed
when the alarm was raised.
The screen backlight will be switched on if it timed out before (see 5.4, p. 56).
The alarm details remain on the screen until you confirm them. You can turn off the
confirmation, see 5.4, p.
LED The alarm LEDs (Fig. 1, p. 17) flash in several patterns.
Speaker
The speaker emits various sound patterns. You can switch the speaker on or off,
see 5.5, p. 57.
Vibrator
The vibrator shakes the handle (and adds a little sound). You can switch the vibrator
on or off, see 5.5, p. 57.
Radiation sources are dangerous to you. When dealing with radiating material, you
are strongly advised to:
1. Maximize your distance to the radiation source.
2. Minimize the time you are exposed to the radiation.
3. Put as much shielding between the source and you as possible.
In addition to dangerous ionizing radiation, certain substances can pose a life-
threatening risk to you, due to their chemical or biological effects. Plutonium, for
example, is highly toxic, especially if ingested or inhaled. If the radEAGLET-R identifies
plutonium (as WGPu or RGPu), you must not touch the source under any circum-
stances.
