Radiation Pager-S User’s Manual PERATION The user interface of the Radiation Pager-S consists of a multicolor Indicator LED and a single digit numerical Level Display. Together, these two indicators show the status of the instrument and communicate the intensity of any detected gamma radiation (see Figure 2). Figure 2: Radiation Pager-S User Interface The Radiation Pager-S is activated by a three-position rotary Mode Switch. - Page 4 Radiation Pager-S User’s Manual this situation will raise the alarm threshold and desensitize the instrument, allowing the operator to more exactly locate the radiation source. For strong sources, this procedure may need to be repeated several times. Prior to conducting a search for radiation sources, check the function of the Radiation Pager-S with a check source (i.e.

- Page 9 Radiation Pager-S User’s Manual The next menu item is “Dosage” shown in Screen 9. This measures the cumulative dose measured by the detector during a given period (as measured by the horizontal axis). For higher exposure rates the graph can be seen to have a steeper gradient as the user experiences more radiation per unit time. This graph will always continue to read and accumulate dose even from background radiation alone.

Radiation Pager-S User’s Manual DATA EXPORT Click on “Alarms” and you will see Screen 10. This details every alarm “event” that has occurred. An event is defined as beginning the instant the detector measures radiation above threshold trip point until the time that it drops below threshold. The resulting dataset will appear as shown on the screen including, date, start time, end time, detector serial number, maximum exposure rate, exact location and physical address. - Page 11 Radiation Pager-S User’s Manual In the “Settings” menu the user has the ability to delete all the data on the mobile device from a given detector as shown in Screen 12 and Screen 13.

- Page 12 Radiation Pager-S User’s Manual The user also has the ability to see a map of current location (Screen 14) as well as a “trace history” of where the detector has been carried (Screen 15). Click on the globe icon on the top right of the screen and the map will open and zoom into the current location.
- Page 13 Radiation Pager-S User’s Manual On the map, the “document stack” icon (Screen 17 marked with a red arrow) allows the user to access different map views (Screen 18) as desired (e.g., topology, google satellite etc.). As with most mobile devices, the user can screenshot maps to send directly to others for rapid coordination. Screen 17 Screen 18 Copyright 2023 Sensor Technology Engineering, LLC.

Radiation Pager-S User’s Manual ATTERIES The Radiation Pager-S uses one AA Lithium ( battery. In routine operation with few alarms and Li-FeS2) low Bluetooth usage, one such battery will power the unit continuously for 2,000 hours. A low battery condition is indicated when the Level Display briefly flashes an ‘L’ every 20 seconds. This indication will be accompanied by a brief ‘chirp’... - Page 15 Radiation Pager-S User’s Manual EFERENCE Tables 3 and 4, below provide a quick guide as to the various Radiation Pager-S states and indications.
