Dosimeter Quantum Purpose Dosimeter Quantum is designed for measuring the cumulative radiation dose and assessing the product radioactivity level and detecting objects, food or construction materials contaminated with radioactive elements. Dosimeter Quantum can easily assess the level of radioactivity according to the power level of ion radiation (gamma radiation and beta particles stream) while taking into account x-ray radiation.
Specification Range of indicated background up to 1000 radiation level, mcSv/h Measurement range of cumulative up to 1000 dose, Sv Dose accumulation time up to 999 days History of background radiation 24 hours with 10 second increments measurements, more than Registered gamma radiation energy from 0.1 Levels, mcSv/h from 0.
Precautions Before using the product, please read carefully the safety measures below and strictly adhere to them when using the product. Violation of these rules may cause malfunction or cause total failure of the product. The manufacturer’s guarantee will be void if the safety measures stated below are violated. • Protect the product from shock and other mechanical impacts that can damage it.
Appearance of the device Middle button [•] Right button [↘] Left button [↗] mini-USB Left button [↗] - scrolls the menu (list) up. When the top (first) position on the list is reached, the cursor moves to the bottom (last) position. Decreases the value of the parameter. Right button [↘] - scrolls the menu (list) down. When the bottom (last) position on the list is reached, the cursor moves to the top (first) position. Increases the value of the parameter.
The cover of the battery compartment is on the back side of the device. The device can be powered from rechargeable or disposable AAA batteries. On the bottom of the battery compartment there is a SOEKS trade mark with the make of the board. On the right side of the device, there is a mini-USB connector which can be used to connect the device to a PC with Soeks Device Manager software using a USB to mini-USB cable, or to charge the batteries from a PC or mains power supply.
Power control of the device 1. To turn the device on, press and hold the middle button [•] until the display lights up, then release the middle button [•]. 2. To turn the device off, press and hold the middle button [•], until the display goes blank. Then release the middle button [•]. If you press and hold the middle button [•] the device will switch off regardless of which mode it is in. The information about the accumulated dose and the history of the measurements will be saved in the device’s memory.
Screen indicators indicator: 1. Battery 1 2 3 charge 4 5 status - normal power level - running down - low level of charge — you need to recharge or change the batteries. - the batteries are charging - the batteries are fully charged Attention! When the charge level is critically low and the device has switched off, malfunction or loss of measured data are possible and settings may be lost. Therefore, if the indicator is red, immediately connect the device to the charger or change the batteries. 2.
5. Clock The clock shows the current time in 24-hour format. 6. Hint line The hint line presents names and symbols for functions of the corresponding control buttons. - scroll the list up - scroll the list down - confirm the action - return to the menu - decrease the value - increase the value 10 8 7 9 11 7. The current (highlighted) line is white. 8. When the element is selected, the line turns blue, with the functions of the control buttons changing to «-» (decrease) and «+» (increase). 9.
Indicators in «Measurement» mode screen: In «Measurement mode» the following symbols appear on the 12 13 17 15 14 16 18 20 22 19 21 12. Radioactivity level. The radioactivity level is shown with large figures in the center of the screen. When the device is taking measurements for the first time, the word «Measurement» appears on the screen. 13. Units: μSv/h 14. Measurement results ready indicator: fills in less than 10 seconds.
16. A message about the state of the background radiation based on russian radiation safety standards NRB - 99/2009. - If the measured background radiation is less than 0.4 μSv/h, a green message «radiation background normal» appears. - If the measured background radiation is 0.4–1.2 μSv/h, a yellow message «radiation background high» appears. - If the measured background radiation is more than 1.2 μSv/h, a red message «radiation background dangerous» appears. 17.
Indicators in «Accumulated dose» mode the screen: In «Accumulated dose» mode the following symbols appear on 24 25 23 26 27 29 28 23. Value of the accumulated dose. 24. Units: μSv/h. 25. Frame-indicator of acceptable accumulated dose level excess. If exceeded frame-indicator becomes red and starts blinking. 26. Total duration of accumulated dose measurement in the following format: ddd:hhhhh:mm:ss (days:hours:minutes:seconds) 27. Preset background radiation threshold. 28.
Indicators in «Data» mode In «Data» mode the following symbols appear on the screen: 29 31 30 29. Date and time of the beginning of the history. 30. Date and time of the last entry in the history. 31. Bar graph showing mean radioactivity values for the whole measurement period from the moment the device was put into operation or from the moment the accumulated dose was reset. The graph is constantly moving downwards, the length of the horizontal bar representing the level of the background radiation.
Individual Settings Before making any measurements it is recommended to customize the settings of your device. ● Time/alarm clock ● Date/Time - set the current date and time before using the device. This is necessary to save the measurement history, display current time and use the «Alarm Clock» function. Date and time are not reset even when the batteries have been removed. ● Alarm clock - check this option to activate the «Alarm Clock» function and set the time.
● Radiation dose Choose the necessary threshold from 15 preset values on the list. 0.01 mSv 0.05 mSv 0.1 mSv 0.5 mSv 1.0 mSv 5.0 mSv 10.0 mSv 50.0 mSv 0.1 Sv 0.5 Sv 1.0 Sv 5.0 Sv 10.0 Sv 50.0 Sv 100.0 Sv ● Sound When the preset accumulated dose threshold is exceeded the sound alarm is activated. You can set the sound parameters in this menu item. ● Enable - uncheck this option to turn off all possible sounds on the device.
● Screen In this menu item you can set the screen properties: brightness and the duration the display remains lit. ● Bridhtness - set the brightness of the screen from 1 to 10. ● Screen Off - set the interval during which the display remains lit if no button is pressed. Possible values — 1 to 10 minutes. «00» – the display remains lit all the time the device is on. To save power and increase battery life, we recommend you set low brightness levels and shorter intervals of inactivity.
Measurements After turning on, the device starts registering the radioactive environment automatically. About 10 seconds later, the first result is displayed and a new measurement cycle begins. The device continues taking measurements until it is turned off, regardless of which mode is used. The device gives the most accurate results when the accuracy indicator is completely filled (Page 34, p. 15).
Saving the measured data The device starts saving data from the moment it takes the very first measurement and saves them continuously until the memory is full. When the memory is full, no more data can be saved. Saved measurement data can be transferred on your PC for further review. History parameters can be set in the Settings menu (Page 38). More detailed measurement history information can be obtained in «Soeks Device Manager» software if you connect your device to a PC.
Marking and sealing The name of the device is written on the case. The serial number and date of manufacturing are written in the battery section under the accumulator. The manufacturer does not seal the device. Package The package ensures safety of the device during transportation and storage, provided normal climatic conditions. Transportation and storage The packed device can by shipped by any type of transport over any distance. During shipment, the device must be protected against humidity.
