Technical handbook RTM690 Register 3 Description and operation RTM690 general 3.4.5 Solution: "background subtraction" When the monitor is in operation, the principal function procedure is divided into "ready to measure" and "contamination measurement". The "ready to measure" stage, i.e. the time between the contamination measurements, is used by the monitor for examining the connected detectors on their correct functioning as well as for measuring the background.
Register 3 Technical handbook RTM690 Description and operation RTM690 general 3.4.6 Background measurement With a great number of small items to be measured it makes no sense to measure the background value individually for each of them because the expenditure of time would be enormous. The background value is, however, a quantity which has to be measured as exactly as possible in order to avoid false alarms.
Technical handbook RTM690 Register 3 Description and operation RTM690 general a reduced standard deviation of the normal distribution. In mathematical terms a so-called sigma range is put around the determined filter and median value which is used for the automatic cancelling of the update of the background value.
Register 3 Technical handbook RTM690 Description and operation RTM690 general 3.4.8 Defective or contaminated detectors It is not possible to perform a safe detection of contamination by use of detectors, which are defect or highly contaminated. Therefore, the background and measured results are checked additionally for significant changes of individual measuring channels using the maximum threshold and the minimum threshold.

From the given safeties in the parameter set up, the background and the measurement time to be expected can be derived. This is not an exact function but rather a proximity value, which is however very close to the true value or leads to an overestimation of the measuring time.

Register 4 Technical handbook RTM690 Service Parameters (setting) The error of the first kind (probability against false alarms) and the error of the second kind (detection safety) are employed as quantiles of the Gaussian distribution. Deriving from the recommended value of 5 % for both errors, given by the SSK, it results in a value of 1.65 sigma.

Technical handbook RTM690 Register 8 Detector Detectors 8.1 Detectors 8.1.1 Detectors of the measurement chamber The measurement chamber is equipped with large-area plastic scintillators. They show a favourable surface-to-volume ratio. The thickness of the scintillators has been designed in a way to ensure that there will be a low background value, when the probability of count effects for -particles of relevant energy is still acceptable.
Register 8 Technical handbook RTM690 Detector Detectors A photo multiplier, which reacts especially sensitive to the light spectrum of the scintillator, carries out collection of the scintillators and the light output. The characteristics can be described briefly as follows: Photoemission, the photoelectrical process in the cathode and also the secondary emission at the dynodes is merely statistical processes, which can comprise a large range.
Technical handbook RTM690 Register 8 Detector Detectors There are a total number of 4 RPD-detectors and 1 optional RBP detector in the measurement chamber: 2 RPD 5/15 at the position top, bottom and sides 1 RBP 1051 at the position top The thickness of the detector housing consists of 3 mm aluminium sheet and the lining of the measurement chamber is 1.5 mm V2A metal sheets.
The optimal HV value is always preset by the Mirion Technologies (RADOS) GmbH factory during the works testing. Normally it is not necessary for the user to change this value.
Page 175
Technical handbook RTM690 Register 8 Detector Detectors The adjustment of the HV is only needed when: 1. One single detector shows clearly a lower efficiency or higher background rate as given in the type test protocol. 2. The monitor shall be switched to another leading nuclide. 3.
Register 8 Technical handbook RTM690 Detector Detectors 8.1.6 Setting of the discriminators In order to reach an optimal adjustment of the detector, the energy of the participating particles must be known. Normally this is the reference nuclide. For low energy detection an upper energy window reduces the influence of high energy background into the low energy radiation measurement.

Register 11 Technical handbook RTM690 Nomenclature Glossary Total absorbed energy in a mass unit. Physical unit is joule / kilogram. One J/kg Dose is equal to the amount of energy, which develops when energy of 1 J is transmitted to matter with a mass of 1 kg by means of ionising radiation. 1 J/kg = 1 Gy (Gray) 1 Gy = 100 rad (old measurement unit: Radiation Absorbed Dose).

Technical handbook RTM690 Register 11 Nomenclature Glossary Contrary to gamma radiation, which is a wave radiation, and radiation is a Radiation kind of particle radiation. -particles are heavy particles. They have a very high binding energy. They are 2times loaded helium ions. In contrast to -particles they are more difficult to measure, as they loose their starting energy rather quickly, while going through matter.
