Maintenance, Calibration and Troubleshooting
4.1 Maintenance
The Model 6000-530B Ion Chamber requires no routine maintenance, other than routine inspection of the
chamber for damage.
4.2 Calibration
The Model 6000-530B Ion Chamber is accompanied by the chamber’s sensitivity on the side of the ion
chamber. If sensitivity factor is not available, the ion chamber may be returned to Fluke Biomedical so
that a new sensitivity factor may be obtained, or by the customer by intercomparison with a known ion
chamber.
Obtain the value of chamber sensitivity in
dimensions of exposure per unit charge and the
charge calibration factor for the host instrument in
dimensions of charge per displayed exposure unit,
prior to referring to the applicable preamplifier
manual.
