    3. Internal Battery which provides 24 hours operation at background radiation levels. The DRM-3000 will draw power in the following priority: 1. AC Power, 2. POE and 3. Internal Battery. This means that if all three are connected the Meter will use the AC Power only and will not use the POE or internal battery.

    The DRM is positioned in the calibration chamber as shown below and care should be taken to ensure that both GM tubes are situated within the same homogeneous dose rate field. The DRM-3000 is placed in a jig upside down to allow easy accessibility to the power and communication cables.
  • Page 43 Calibration of the external detectors is achieved using a designated USB to Detector cable. The calibration factor is saved in the detector and therefore the calibration of the external detectors can be achieved independently of the DRM-3000 Meter. The calibration procedure for the internal and external wide range detectors is identical to the calibration procedure of the TelePole.
