In addition, the detector must be positioned in the same manner each time that this calibration check is
performed. Failure to follow reproducible techniques will result in inaccurate measurements.
NOTE
The calibration check is not intended to replace the
need for periodic calibration against a reference
standard.
To perform a calibration check
Make sure that the NERO mAx is turned off. Plug one end of the NERO mAx’s detector cable into the
NERO mAx detector. Plug the other end of the detector cable into the NERO mAx’s detector connector.
Insert the W/Al filter card into the detector and place the filter card in the CHECK position. Place the
NERO mAx detector on the x-ray table with the top of the detector facing the x-ray tube. Position the
detector so that the detector is centered in the beam and is aligned with the x-ray tube axis. For more
information on positioning the NERO mAx detector, see Positioning the Detector. Plug the AC adapter
into the NERO mAx if needed (see Section 1.4--Battery Operation and Charging) and turn the instrument
on.
