Laurus mini rad-D User Manual - page 5
4.0 Accessories
A ballistic nylon case (with or without clear plastic window on top
flap) is supplied with each mini rad-D. The belt loop has a snap
fastener allowing the user to affix the case/mini rad-D to a belt of up
to 3" in width. The top flap on the case opens and closes easily using
a Velcro® fastener and allows removal of the mini rad-D if required.
If the operator prefers to utilize the optional belt clip assembly shown
below, please contact the D-tect Systems Customer Service
department (866-593-8328) or your sales representative. The belt
clip fastens directly to the back of the mini rad-D and swivels while
worn on belt or garment and allows quick release of mini rad-D to
allow handheld operation.
5.0 Maintenance
The mini rad-D is designed to Mil Spec environmental standards for rain, shock and vibration. The unit is sealed to
reduce intrusion from dust, humidity and salt fog. The unit, including top display, may be cleaned safely with mild
soap and water using a warm, wet cloth.
5.1 Battery Issues and Maintenance
The mini rad-D is powered by two AA Alkaline batteries (installed at factory) which under a normal duty cycle (on 8
hours a day in detection mode, off 16 hours) will operate in detection mode for two years without replacement. In
the event there are occurrences of alarm indications and the mini rad-D is used to identify the source of such
alarms, duty cycle times will be reduced. A low battery indicator ( LED will display “L”) will inform the operator that
batteries should be replaced.
While a certain reserve is designed into the mini rad-D once a low battery alert is displayed, batteries should be
replaced (use small Phillips head screwdriver to release battery door on bottom of unit) as soon as possible to
allow robust operation in the event future multiple alarms are encountered. Failure Mode If the unit is unable to
achieve detection mode for any reason, a FAIL indicator will be displayed. The mini rad-D will continually display
each character in sequence – “F”, then “A”, then “I” and then “L”. If failure mode occurs (most likely due to a
significant change in location of operation), turn power off to the mini rad-D and then turn unit back on and allow it
to re-calibrate (in new location). If the mini rad-D continues to go into failure mode following attempt to re-calibrate,
notify customer service for assistance.
