    1 Before starting This manual focuses on the features of the dosimetry payload of Elios 2 RAD. It complements the following documents, which the Elios 2 RAD user must also read and understand fully: – ELIOS 2 Original Instructions – certification compliance, safety guidelines and checklists –...

    3 Elios 2 RAD Elios 2 RAD is a specially modified Elios 2 designed to carry a dosimetry detector module. Apart from the mounting bracket for the detector module, and the modified casing with a connector, all user changeable parts are compatible with a standard Elios 2. There is no significant change in flight behavior and collision resilience, though flight time is reduced slightly due to the added weight of the sensor module.

    The LOW dose detector can also be user recalibrated to work with lower dose rate (down to 3.5uSv/h). The range and linearity shall be assessed by the user. ELIOS 2 RAD USER MANUAL Page 5 of 16...

    5.2 Out of range behavior The Elios 2 RAD detectors will provide accurate readings within their specified range. Below the lower limit of the sensor, the dose rate value will be displayed in orange, and the message “Too low” will appear.

    When launching the program, you will be given the option to create a password (mot de passe means password). This is not needed for the Elios 2 RAD sensor module, but we recommend you do it anyways, because otherwise it will just keep bothering you with it. You may encounter parts of the program that are not translated, to help you we show you the main translated parts here below.

    Low level = X If the Elios 2 RAD sensor module is not connected to your PC at this point, then you will get this message This message means: “No sensor, verify the connection and try again”. This can be due to a faulty connection, or due to the drivers not being installed correctly.

    Once the calibration factor is adjusted, we suggest validating an uncertainty below 10% from measurements at 20%, 50% and 80% of the global dose rate range. Irradiation duration must be adjusted in function of the dose rate to reach a sufficient counting statistic. ELIOS 2 RAD USER MANUAL Page 14 of 16...
