General Information
1.1 Introduction
The TRIAD Service Kit can be used for government compliance testing, troubleshooting, repair of
diagnostic x-ray equipment, installation and setup of new equipment, preventive maintenance,
radiographic quality assurance measurements, and measurements required for JCAHO accreditation.
The TRIAD Service Kit performs measurements on all modalities: mammographic, cine, dental,
radiographic, fluoroscopic, CT, and image intensifiers.
The Model 35050AT Dosimeter, as featured in the Model 10100AT TRIAD Field Service Kit, is both a
sensitive, full-function dosimeter and a digital display for the Models 35080/80A/80B Non-invasive kVp
Divider. It features a direct readout and simplified operator controls.
This manual contains all the information necessary for you to operate and service your Model 35050AT
Dosimeter/kVp/Time Readout and the Model 10100AT TRIAD Field Service Kit components. This
manual contains a description of usage of the Model 35080/80A/80B kVp Divider with the Model 35050AT
Dosimeter as its readout. The operator is referred to the Model 35080/80A/80B kVp Divider Instruction
Manual, though, for a complete coverage of specifications, general use, etc.
Some service kits may include a Model 35035 mA/mAs meter. The user is referred to its instruction
manual for details of operation, specifications, and servicing.
Information on customizing the Model 35050AT Dosimeter using the Customization Software is contained
in a separate manual (Model 35050A Customization Instruction Manual). Also, a separate Model 35050A
Programmer's Instruction Manual contains a description of the protocol and commands used to operate
the Model 35050AT Dosimeter via the RS-232 interface. The RS-232 interface also allows the user to
capture kV waveforms obtained during simultaneous use of the Model 35050AT Dosimeter and the Model
35080/80A/80B kVp Divider. Refer to these instruction manuals as needed.
1.2 Features
Simplified Controls – automatic or manual exposure reset, autoranging, automatic offset and drift
compensation, and automatic power down.
Battery or Line Current Operation - 6 AA alkaline batteries provide instrument power with an auto
power-down feature to extend battery life and a 300 V electronic ion chamber bias. An AC adapter is
provided which allows line current operation.
Direct Reading - readout in user-selected units: R, Gy, Sv, C/kg, A, C, /s, /min, /hr, /frame; pressure and
temperature corrected readings. Temperature and pressure corrections may be made automatically using
an internal temperature and pressure sensor or by manual entry.
Ion Chamber Flexibility - radiation units for any triaxial-BNC ion chamber with a known calibration factor,
including CT ion chambers.
High Sensitivity -image intensifier measurements at 0.1 mR and 5 mR/min resolutions.
kVp+Dose+Time - kVp, dose, and exposure time measurements when used with the Model
35080/80A/80B Non-Invasive kVp Divider. Exposure time may be displayed in seconds or pulses (for
single phase or pulsed outputs).
