Through this selection, the sensitivity of the sensor is adapted
perfectly to the isotope. The normal reduction of the emitter activity is
hence considered through the radioactive decay.
The SOLITRAC 31 requires this information of the automatic decay
compensation. This ensures an interference-free measurement over
the complete life time of the gamma emitter - an annual recalibration
is not necessary.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.
Enter here, the respective application.
This menu item enables adaptation of the sensor to the requested ap-
plication. You can choose between the following applications: "Level",
"Point level" or "Summation Slave".
The natural radiation on earth influences the accuracy of the meas-
urement.
With this menu item the natural background radiation can be faded
out.
For this purpose, the SOLITRAC 31 measures the natural background
radiation and sets the pulse rate to zero.
In the future, the pulse rate from this background radiation will be
automatically deducted from the total pulse rate. This means: only
the component of the pulse rate originating from the source will be
displayed.
The source container must be closed for this setting.
In this menu item you can select the units of the process value and
the temperature.
In this menu item you can enter the measuring range (min. and max.
process value) of the sensor.
These settings influence the current output of the sensor.
