Not e – Typical value of sensitivity coefficient is K = 2.0·10 Sv·h ·s and that of “dead time” is M = 23.0 s. Sensitivity coefficient and “dead time” are written in the nonvolatile memory of the detector at the time of adjustment. Reading and changing of these parameters, as well as other adjustment and calibration operations are performed using the “TETRA_Checker”...
For the description of data exchange registers in the DiBUS protocol see Appendix A. Detailed description of the DiBUS protocol is available on the website of the manufacturer www.doza.ru. 1.4.7 Detectors require external stabilized power supply. Wiring diagram is presented in the Appendix B.
Converter PI-02 RS-485/RS-422 BDMN-200DD/ BDMN-200PD ~220 V, 50 Hz Figure 2.1 – Connection of detectors 2.2.2 Apply power supply voltage. 2.2.3 Start the “TETRA_Checker” software on the PC as described in the User Manual (Appendix D) and make sure that detector parameters have being correctly read. The detector operability can be checked by presence of indication of measurement result in corresponding window of the “TETRA_Checker”...
3.3 Maintenance routine 3.3.1 Maintenance is divided into routine and periodic. 3.3.1 Routine maintenance 3.3.1.1 Routine maintenance is carried out during regular operation; it includes inspections of detectors for timely detection and elimination of factors which can compromise their operability and safety.
4.3 Safety precautions It is necessary to follow safety requirements described in section 3.2 and in documentation accompanying calibration tools and equipment. 4.4 Conditions 4.4.1 The following normal operating conditions shall be met during calibration: air temperature ……………………………………….…….…………………. +(20 ±5) °C; relative air humidity ……….……………………….…..……..……...…...
If the relative error exceeds limit, perform correction of sensitivity coefficient and “dead time” in accordance with the section 2.4. It is recommended to perform correction of sensitivity coefficient using the range 10 to 100 Sv·h , the “dead time” is fixed at 23 s and is not changed during calibration.

8.2 Decontamination shall be attempted in cases when the detector surfaces contamination (including surfaces accessible during repair) can be reduced below allowable limits. In case the radioactive contamination exceeds allowable limits, requirements set forth for the radioactive wastes become applicable to the detectors. 8.3 Detectors accepted for operation after decontamination are subjects for repair or replacement in case of failure.
