Page 7: General Description
4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION PM1710 monitors belong to Polimaster’s new generation of extremely sensitive, small and power- saving, gamma and gamma-neutron radiation monitors. When ON, the monitor continuously monitors the environment for radiation and alerts the user with audio, visual, and/or vibrating alarms if a radiation source is detected. - Page 8 1 – MODE button: - Turns the monitor on; - Selects a operation mode; - Performs background recalibration; - Changes parameters in the Set mode. 2 – LIGHT button: - Switches on LCD light; - Enables the PC communication mode; - Changes parameters in the Set mode;...

Page 11: Operation
5 OPERATION Attention! When using the monitor in ambient temperatures below minus 15 °С the normal operation of the monitor LCD is not guaranteed. In this case you can still use it by monitoring sound and vibration alarms. The LCD functioning will be restored after its returning to normal operation temperature. -
Page 12: Test Mode
5.2.1 Test mode The monitor enters this mode just after turned on. Before the beginning of the testing process the alarms (audio and/or vibration) are activated approximately for 1 s. All marks, segments will be indicated on the LCD. Then the LCD shows the firmware version (P-X.X) for several seconds. In the Test mode all the required tests are fulfilled. -
Page 13: Search Mode. Detection And Localization
The monitor is able to perform calibration automatically. It provides more convenient monitor usage and decreases false alarm probability when radiation background is changed. To use the autocalibration function, a user should activate this function by using Polimaster Software. 5.2.2.3 Alarms Alarm levels in the Search are derived from the ambient background. - Page 14 Overload indication: If the mean gamma channel count rate exceeds the upper limit of the indication range you will see "OL" message on the LCD If the mean neutron channel count rate exceeds the upper limit of the indication range you will see a blinking "999" message on the LCD (only for PM1710GNA and PM1710GNC) In this mode the monitor automatically compares the average count rate with the following...
-
Page 15: Der Indication Mode
When in the DER indication mode, the upper line of the LCD screen indicates the dose equivalent rate in µSv/h (µR/h), while the lower line indicates the mean square error of DER indication in percents (PM1710A, PM1710C). PM1710GNA and PM1710GNC monitors indicate an mean neutron count rate in the lower LCD line in this mode. -
