3 Operation

The Inspector+ is designed for use of conventional units (milliroentgens per hour

and counts per minute) or SI units (microsieverts per hour and counts per

second). To switch between conventional or SI units choose Option 2 in the Utility

Menu. For details, see "Utility Menu" in Chapter 3.

Before starting the Inspector+, install a standard 9-volt alkaline battery in the

battery compartment in the lower rear. Note: Place the battery against the

bottom wall and make sure the wires are placed along the side of the battery and

not under it.

Start Up. To start the Inspector+, set the top switch to the mode you want, and

set the bottom switch to On or Audio. The Inspector+ then begins a 6-second

system check. All indicators and numbers are displayed.

After the system check, the radiation level is displayed in the selected mode.

Approximately thirty seconds after you start the Inspector+, a short beep indicates

that enough information has been collected to ensure statistical validity.

Display update. In the dose rate modes, the numeric display is updated every

three seconds. In Total/Timer mode, the numeric display is updated twice a

second.

Maximum level. When the maximum level for the current mode is reached, the

Inspector+ beeps for three seconds, pauses for three seconds, and repeats that

pattern. The numeric display flashes. The beeping pattern and the flashing

display continue until the level decreases or the Inspector+ is turned off.

Response Time (Autoaveraging). When the radiation level is less than 6,000

CPM, the reading in any of the dose rate modes is based on the radiation

detected in the immediately previous 30 seconds. In order to give a quicker

response to changes, when the radiation level exceeds 6,000 CPM in any 30

second period, the reading is based on the previous 6 seconds. When the

radiation level exceeds 12,000 CPM in any 30-second period, the reading is
