  • Page 8: Instrument Design And Control

    Instrument design and control The instrument is equipped with a single control button (located on top) that turns ON the Bluetooth 4.0 LE module and temporarily disable the audible alarm for 5 minutes. PM1904A operates fully autonomously when the battery is charged. It automatically records all measurements in the non-volatile memory at preset intervals.
  • Page 9: Operation

    OPERATION The normal operation mode of PM1904A is always on. This provides continuous monitoring and accurate measurement of both personal Dose Equivalent and personal Dose Equivalent Rate of gamma radiation. When the instrument is charged and operating normally, the green LED light flashes every 10 seconds. If the light does not flash green, but instead flashes white-green, the battery is partially discharged.
  • Page 10: Charging Pm1904A

    Charging PM1904A To charge PM1904A please connect it to any USB port of a personal computer or use a wall charger with a USB slot. When the rechargeable battery is charged, the green light will be on continuously. A full charging cycle requires 4 hours. This will provide 2,000 hours of instrument operation under normal background conditions.
  • Page 11: Normal Operation Mode And Alarms

    Normal operation mode and alarms After PM1904A is charged and disconnected from the power supply it is ready for autonomous operation. The green light flashes every 10 seconds and the instrument continuously measures DER and DE of gamma radiation and compares those measurements to preset thresholds.
  • Page 12 will not stop even if the current background radiation level returns to its normal state. This may means that the user has been in a field with elevated background radiation for too long and the risk of damaging effects to personal health is increased (the worldwide average natural dose to humans is about 2.4 mSv per year).
  • Page 13: Recording Data To Internal Memory

    Recording data to internal memory When operating normally, PM1904A records current DER and DE values to the internal memory. The interval between recordings can be set anywhere between 1 minute and 18 hours using the supplied User Software. The manufacturer’s preset value is 1 hour. All data recorded in the instrument’s memory is time stamped according to the internal clock.
