Page 3: General Description
General Description The Tracerco T406 X-Ray Monitor is a portable, battery-operated radiation monitor capable of measuring X and gamma radiation in the energy range of 17keV to 1332keV. The monitor reflects Tracerco’s extensive experience in industrial and environmental radiation measurement by combining novel design features with advances in technology, to make the monitor versatile, accurate and easy to use. -
Page 4: Operational Features
Operational Features Switch On To switch the monitor on, press the red switch. Press once for ‘on’ and a second time to turn the monitor off. If there are no significant local sources of radiation, the monitor will register background, which will vary with the environment, but would typically be expected to be below 0.1μSv/h. -

Page 10: Hints For Radiation Dose Rate Monitoring
Hints for Radiation Dose Rate Monitoring The radiation detector is in the front face of the instrument. Hold the monitor as far as comfortably possible in front of you with the head of the monitor pointing towards the potential source of radiation. When monitoring environments where radiation levels are totally unknown, having the speaker on reduces the potential for exposure if your attention is taken away from the monitor screen. -
