  • Page 15: Introduction

    NTRODUCTION The Model 3003 and Model 3003i are ergonomic, lightweight instrument which can be used for radiation survey purposes. The Model 3003 features the ability to measure radiation in count rate, exposure rate/dose, activity rate, integrated exposure/dose, time-averaged rates, and scaler counts. It supports up to four external radiation detectors to detect alpha, beta, gamma, or neutron radiation.
  • Page 16 "find" something. They can simply listen for multiple beeps. Setup of the instrument is accomplished through the front-panel buttons, or through Lumic 2.0 software available from Ludlum Measurements. Front-panel setup can be disabled via the internal switch on the Model 3003 in order to pro- tect settings from inadvertent changes.

    ETTING TARTED 2.1 Unpacking and Repacking Remove the calibration certificate and place it in a secure location. Remove the instrument and ensure that all of the items listed on the packing list are in the carton. Check individual item serial numbers and ensure calibration certificates match between instruments and de- tectors (if applicable).

    2.3. TURNING THE INSTRUMENT ON Use the following table to determine which high-voltage board is installed in the instrument (if any): • 1 tick - 5519-187 • 2 ticks - 5519-817 A revision level of 0 indicates that the board is not installed or detected. Next, the instrument displays the firmware version.

A ’FAULT’ message will remain on the screen as a reminder until the instrument power is cycled. Time and date are necessary when the instrument is configured for datalogging as each log record is time/date stamped.

COUNT MODE OPERATION If the user desires the instrument to show results in terms of disintegra- tions/area (eg. dpm/100 cm ), then the instrument should be configured for dpm and the appropriate factor should be placed in the Efficiency parameter. Bq/cm will use the stored detector active area and perform the calculations internally so no manipulation of the efficiency is needed.

(A five-meter cable can be provided if requested. However, any cable longer than two meters may have issues with some USB hubs and computers, typically laptops.) To connect an instrument to the computer, please connect one end of the USB cable to the instrument first, and then the other end to the computer.

  • Page 85: Advanced Features

    DVANCED EATURES 7.1 Dead Time Correction All pulse counting detectors have a “dead time” in which the detector is unable to register another event. In relatively low fields this is not an issue. However, as the field strength approaches the high end of the detector’s range, dead time causes the pulse rate to become non-linear with respect to the real radiation field.
