General Operation Continued 1. Either polarity may be applied to the shell and either the shell or guard may be grounded. Safety and other considerations recommend grounding the shell, which then requires an electrometer with a floating input. All Exradin chambers can support 1000 V between shell and guard.
General Operation Continued 6. Some electrometers, such as the Standard Imaging MAX-4000 Electrometer, allow the user to zero the device at any time. If desired, perform this system zeroing now. 7. Check the system leakage. Take a reading without ex- posing the chamber to radiation. This reading should be less than 0.1% of the final signal expected. If it is not, the ...
