3.1 Configuration
The nameplate contains the most important data for identification and
use of the instrument:
•
Order code
•
Serial number
•
Source container
•
Contained source (gamma emitter)
•
Radionuclide
•
Activity
•
Local dose rate
•
Article number - documentation
•
Note: "Highly radioactive source" (if necessary)
The serial number allows you to access the delivery data of the instru-
ment via www.vega.com, "VEGA Tools" and "serial number search".
Note:
The local dose rate stated on the type label at a defined distance is
safety-oriented and includes production-related fluctuations of the
emitters as well as tolerances of the measuring instruments. There
can thus be deviations in the local dose rate calculated with the speci-
fied attenuation factors. See also "Principle of operation/Source".
Note:
With sources exceeding a certain level of activity, the warning "Highly
radioactive source" must be stated on the type label.
This is the case for Co-60 with an activity ≥ 4 GBq (108 mCi) or for
Cs-137 with an activity ≥ 20 GBq (540 mCi).
There are several versions available with different options for opening
or locking the beam exit. Apart from the manual versions, there are
also versions with pneumatic switchover.
