Mode Button
The MODE BUTTON (Figure 2 (2)) is used to select from the available units of measurement.
• mR/hr (MilliRoentgen) - displays the radiation level from .001 to 200.
• CPS (Counts Per Second) - displays the radiation level from 0 to 3923.
• µSv/hr (MicroSievert) - displays the radiation level from .001 to 2000.
• Counts - displays the accumulated total of counts from 1 to 9,999 kcounts (9,999,000).
• CPM (Counts Per Minute) - displays the radiation level from 0 to 235,400.
• µR/hr (MicroRoentgen) - displays the radiation level from 1 to 9999. Once the levels
exceed 9999 µR/hr, the unit of measure will change to mR/hr. Once the radiation levels
go below 9999 µR/hr, the unit of measurement will revert back to µR/hr.
• NOTE: In CPM and Count modes, when numeric values exceed 9999, the unit of
measurement will change from COUNTS to KCOUNTS (1000 Counts).
The Detector
The Monitor 1000
EC
uses an energy compensated GM tube, that
detects gamma and x-rays. The EC tube responds lineraly over
the full range of the unit’s detection range. The small radiation
symbol on the back label indicates the approximate center of the
Geiger tube.
The USB Port
The USB Port (Figure 2 (2)) allows you to interface with a PC for
use with the Observer USB Software. See Chapter 6: Observer
USB Software.
Lanyard Loop
The lanyard loop is located on the bottom of the Monitor 1000
EC
and serves as a means to connect a lanyard. It
also serves as the clip to lock the instrument into the stand.
Xtreme Boot
The Xtreme Boot is great for protecting against drops and scratches. You will need to remove the boot to
change the batteries.
