Thermo Scientific SAM12 Manual page 7

When monitoring articles, operational procedures should contain warnings
regarding inappropriate articles.
These items may include:
Articles containing liquids may have different release criteria. Articles of large
weight or significant shielding may require different procedures requiring Health
Physics intervention. Articles with a magnetic pull of more than four pounds may
influence the accuracy of the monitor.
In standard mode, the monitor is unable to differentiate between pre-existing
activity and surface contamination of an article. The NBR feature, if used, will
partially mitigate for naturally occurring radioactive material.
The SAM12 weighs up to 1.5 tonnes. Only suitable lifting equipment must be used
to move the monitor, using the facilities provided. The monitor should only be
installed and used on a suitably robust and stable base.
The protection provided by this equipment may be impaired if used in a manner not
specified by the manufacture. The user must adhere to all the safety precautions
noted overleaf and to individual warnings contained within this manual.
