Using the Setting Device and a PC, it is able to write PC-edited values to NRF 50 and read measurement trend data from the NRF50 via communication with the device. If worn tight to the body, energy characteristic of the NRF50 enables direct reading of personal dose equivalent Hp(10). (unit: rem)
(1) See User’s Manual of “Setting Device” for information on parameter writing and data reading via the device and a PC. (2) Try turn OFF & ON the NRF50 if you encounter technical problems. See the “Troubleshooting Table” if not recovered.
