    The operational check is an important assurance that the radiation detector and electronics are working correctly. Note: Ludlum Measurements suggests that an operational check be performed on a regular basis. Local procedures may supersede this suggestion. For an operational check it is necessary to use a radiation check source (not included, but available).

    "low" radiation field. A "low" radiation field in this case is defined as a field where dead time losses do not exceed 5%. The calibration constant is usually given for a certain detector. A Ludlum Model 133-4 detector, for example, has a calibration constant of approximately 150 cpm/mR/hr. Once the calibration constant is set and checked at a low radiation field, the dead time correction can be set.
