1. ..INTRODUCTION
2. APPLICATION
.
2. 1. The instrument is an individual dosimeter
and radiometer designed for radiation monitoring of
terrain, living accommodations and industri~J
promises and is used to measure the following
values
gamma-radiation field equivalent dose rate;
beta-radiation intensity from radionucHde-
contaminated surfaces; .
specific radioactivity of caesium-137 -aa well as
to signal an excess of user-set threshold value of
gamma-radiation equivalent dose rate by soutlding an
alarm.

6. PRE-OPERATION
.
6. 1. Before operation study thoroughly the
instrument's application, its basic specifications and
measurement technique .
6.:'. Before oper..ting the instrument 'after its
purchase:
1) take the instrument out of the package;
2) make sure by visual inspection of the alueflce of
mechanical damages of the body , . covers , liquid-
crystal indicator and co.ntrols;
3) check the Instrument's completeness - it should
comply with tha~ listed in P.4 of the Certificate;
4) check the existence and safety . of the
manufacturer's seal , the seal s hould not be damaged;
5) remove the power supply compartment cover ( the
directioq is shown by the arrow on it ), 'take out of
the compartmept the terminal block for battery
connechon; .
6) open the package and make visual Inspection of
the battery; if there are tr_a ces of electrolyte or white
salt remove them with rags ;
7) connect the battery to the terminal block observing
the polarity of connection and put them into the
compartment. Replace the cover again.

7. OPERATING PROCEDURE
7 . 1. Gene-ral
7 . I. I. The instrument is B multifunctional meter
designed at measuring 3 physical values :
1) gamma-radiation field equivalent dose rate;
2) beta-radiation intensity from surfaces:
3) specific radioactivity of caesium-137 in
substances.
7 .1.2. The reading device of the instrument is a
liquid-crystal indicator, the panel of which displays
4-digit numbers - from 0000 to 9999. .
Note . Measurement cycle duration depends upon
the measured value and measurement subrange ( see.
Certificate p.3.5).
7.1.3 . To obtain the result of meas uring the
particular physical value it is necessary to multiply
the instrument's reading ( or average v ~lue of S'>me
readings ) through by the conversion coefficient
indic;ated for each measured value and for each
measurement subrange 'on the instrument face panel
on the right s'ide from the slide-s.witch S3 . The
results are in measurement units indicated on the
instrument panel below the indicator board. For the
consumer's convenience the measured value
designation, its measurement units and conversion
coefficient values (Table 3) are marked on the face
panel with the paint of one color different

( table 3 ) and. you will get the result in microSiverts per hour
( J.LSv/h ).
Example of gamma-radiation field equivalent
dose rate; number 0018 is displayed ; its significant
part - 18; conversion coefficient - 0 .0 I ; the result is
0. 18 J.LSv/ h ( it corresponds to the exposure dose rate
18 J.LR/h ).
7 .2.6. To achieve more precise measurement
result ( with admissible values of basic measurement
error ) at values of gamma-rad iation field equi:.rate'nt
d ose rate less than I 0 J.LSv/ h repe at measurement in
lower position of S3 's lide-switc h ( other controllers
position is not changed ). Measurement tiine will
inc rease up to (270-280)s. Multiply the instrument' s
rea dings by the conversion coeffic ient equal to 0.00 I
( T able 3 ) and you will get the result in microSiverts
per hour.
In S3 slide-switch lower position the significant
part of 4-digit number di splayed ON the indicator
panel upon completion of a measurement cycle
corresponds to multiplied by 10 value of gamma-'
radiation exposure dose rate in microRentgens per
hou r.

beta-radiative radionuclides.
7 .3. 1. Remove the cover- filter .
7 .3.2 . Set code switch-slider s to the position

to "On" position.
7.3.6. Read background ind ication of the
instrument ( q~b) which will set on the panel
approximately in 18s after switching on. Remember
or write down its readings.
7.3.7. Switch off the instrument with sl sl ide-
switch by shifting it to "OFF" position.-
