POINTRAC 31 • 8/16 mA/HART - four-wire
6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
Setup
In this menu item you can assign an unambiguous name to the sensor
or the measurement loop.
This parameter is described in the operating instructions manual
"Indicating and adjustment module".
In this menu item you can adjust the POINTRAC 31 to the integrated
isotope in the source container.
For this purpose, check which isotope is integrated in the source
container. You can find this information on the type label of the source
container.
With this selection, the sensitivity of the sensor is adapted in an
optimum way to the isotope.
The POINTRAC 31 requires this information for the decay compen-
sation. An annual recalibration is hence not necessary.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.
Setup
Enter here, the respective application.
This menu item enables adaptation of the sensor to the requested
application. You can choose between the following applications:
"Level", "X-ray alarm" or "Real value correction".
X-ray alarm
The radiation of external radiation sources can influence the
measuring result of continuously measuring, radiation-based sensors.
You can also use the POINTRAC 31 as a Slave instrument for
detection against X-ray alarm. Hence an alarm can be triggered.
For this function you require PACTware with the respective DTM.
