  • Page 5: Radiation Protection

    Gammapilot M FMG 60 - PROFIBUS PA Safety instructions Radiation protection The Gammapilot M is used in conjunction with a radioactive source, contained in a source container. When handling radioactive sources, the following instructions have to be observed: 1.4.1 Basic regulations on radiation protection Warning! When handling radioactive sources, all unnecessary radiation exposure should be avoided.
  • Page 6 For the Federal Republic of Germany the limit values for the control area are specified in the current radiation protection requirements. The Endress+Hauser sales office will be pleased to provied further information on radiation protection and regulations in other countries.
  • Page 7 FR Germany Contact your E+H sales centre to organise the return of the radiation source for inspection with a view to reuse or recycling by Endress+Hauser. Other countries Contact your E+H sales centre or the appropriate authorities (government ministry) or regulating authority to find a way of returning the radiation source nationally.
