Stopping the equipment

TM 11-6665-230-12

If the radiacmeter has been used for more than 20 hours, check the condition of

batteries by turning the function switch to BAT COND. If the needie moves

beiow mid scaie, then repiace the batteries with the spare batteries.

d. Stopping the equipment

1. When removal of the radiacmeter from operation is desired, turn the function switch to OFF.

2. Replace the probe in the well.

3. Remove the headset and the harness, and stow both items in the case.

4. Remove the batteries and replace them in the battery storage compartment.

5. Place the radiacmeter in the case.

NOTE

If one of the major components of the radiacmeter is replaced, the radiacmeter

will probably be out of calibration. However, even though the radiacmeter may

be inaccurate with respect to absolute intensity, it will still be usabie to indicate

relative intensity within any one scale position.

This means that it is possible to recognize in which of two locations the intensi

ty is higher, even though the actual intensities are in error. if readings are taken

in the two locations on the same scale positions, the reading correctly

represents the higher intensity.
