- Connect a standard USB power cord to the side USB supply port on the device.
- Connect the other end of the USB cable to a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port).
4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to operate your BR-6 Nuclear Radiation Detector:
4.1 Power On/Off
- To power on, press the ON button. The display will light up and begin showing readings.
- To power off, press the OFF button.
4.2 Radiation Detection
The device automatically starts detecting Beta (β), Gamma (γ), and X-ray radiation upon power-on.
- Real-time Data: The large TFT screen displays real-time radiation levels in usv/h.
- Precise Mean Data: An average reading is also displayed for more stable measurement.
- Intuitive Trend Graphs: The display includes a graphical representation of radiation trends over time.
4.3 Sound Settings
The detector offers different sound source types:
- Real Particle Sound: Audible clicks indicating individual radiation detections.
- Alarm Sound: Activates when radiation levels exceed a set threshold.
- Mute Sound: Disables all audio alerts.
Use the Ordinary Selection Key to cycle through or adjust sound settings as needed.
4.4 Alarm Thresholds
You can set alarm thresholds to be notified when radiation levels reach a certain point. Available thresholds are 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 usv/h. Refer to the device's on-screen menu or the full instruction manual for details on how to adjust these settings.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your BR-6 Nuclear Radiation Detector, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the detector in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Care: If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the AA batteries to prevent leakage.
- Avoid Impact: Protect the device from drops and strong impacts, which can damage internal components.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BR-6 detector, try the following solutions:
- Device does not power on:
- Check if the AA batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace if necessary.
- Ensure the USB power cord is securely connected to both the device and a working power source.
- Inaccurate or no readings:
- Ensure the device is in an environment where radiation is expected if testing for a known source.
- Verify that the sensor area is not obstructed.
- Restart the device.
- No sound:
- Check the sound settings to ensure it is not set to 'Mute'.
- Adjust the volume if available (refer to the full manual for specific controls).
