1.8 Getting Started
The Model 35050AT Dosimeter/kVp/Time Readout is a highly sophisticated instrument with many
capabilities. Although there are a number of complex aspects about the instrument, you can use the
following procedure to get your instrument up and running quickly. For more detailed information, you
should consult section 2 of this manual.
1. Carefully unpack your Service Kit as described in section 1.7.
a. Connect the supplied triaxial cable to the case side input jack. Connect an appropriate ion
chamber to the other end of the triaxial cable. Position the chamber where required.
To prevent electrical shock, the Model 35050AT
Dosimeter should always be turned off when
connecting or disconnecting an ion chamber or
triaxial cable.
2. a. If use of the Model 35080/80A/80B kVp Divider is intended, connect its output to input of the
Model 35050AT Dosimeter using the coaxial cable provided. Position the kVp divider in the
beam.
Make certain that the color of the cable boot
matches the color indicator around the connector of
the instrument.
2. b. If using the AC adapter, plug the adapter into a suitable power outlet and plug the 2.1mm plug
fully into the power jack on the side of the unit.
Only use the supplied AC adapter. Use of AC
adapters other than the one supplied with the unit
may damage the unit and void the warranty.
3. a. Depress the front panel POWER ON/OFF button for approximately one second to apply power
to the instrument. The instrument will power-up through a series of screens.
b. If a kVp divider is in use, set its switch to the RUN position and plug in desired filter pack.
4. a. At the Detector Select screen, make sure the ion chamber in use is indicated. If not, press the
UP or DOWN buttons until it is. If air density corrections are desired, find an ion chamber with
ADC in its description. If very low dose rate measurements are desired, find an ion chamber
with VLDR in its description.
b. If using a Model 35080/80A/80B kVp Divider, press the DETECTOR SELECT button and then
press the UP or DOWN buttons until the proper filter pack is selected.
c. If a kVp divider is not in use, press the DETECTOR SELECT button and then press the UP or
DOWN buttons until the filter pack selection displays “35080/80A Not Used”.
