This Operating Manual is intended to describe the design, operation and use of

wrist gamma and X-ray radiation dosimeter modification PM1603A and modification

PM1603B (hereinafter referred to as dosimeter). The Operating Manual includes the

general description, specifications of the dosimeter, instructions for the use of the

dosimeter, instructions for metrological test, maintenance recommendations, as well as

some other information necessary for the proper operation of the dosimeter and a full

realization of its possibilities.

The name of the dosimeter in technical documentation and in order is as following:

- Wrist gamma dosimeter PM1603A, type 100345122.018-2001,

- Wrist gamma dosimeter PM1603B, type 100345122.018-2001.

During manufacturing of the dosimeter some changes may be introduced in its

electrical scheme and construction that do not influence the specifications and

metrological parameters and, therefore, may be not specified in this manual.

1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE DOSIMETER

1.1 Application of the dosimeter

The dosimeter is designed to provide:

-continuous measurement of the ambient dose equivalent rate of external gamma

and X-ray (hereinafter referred to as photon) radiation

•

* (10) (hereinafter

referred to as dose equivalent rate or DER);

-measurement of the ambient dose equivalent of photon radiation H* (10)

(hereinafter referred to as dose equivalent or DE);

-measurement of the DE accumulation time of photon radiation;

-indication of current time in hours, minutes and seconds, days of the week,

indication of date and month and using as alarm clock, timer, stop-watch;

-communications of information accumulated and stored in a non-volatile memory

through infra-red (IR) communication channel (the protocol is compatible with

IrDA interface) into the personal computer (PC) using the internal or external IR

adapter.

The dosimeters may be used independently or as a part of a dosimetric control

system for everyday, efficient and emergency dosimetric control of the personnel and

people at sites, production facilities and units, where there is a potential or real risk of

exposure to external X-ray and gamma radiation by officers of customs and border

services, personnel of nuclear facilities, radiological and isotope laboratories, officers of

the emergency services, civil defense, fire brigades, police, as well as in other spheres of

use where there is a necessity in measurement of the personal dose equivalent and

personal dose equivalent rate, alarming of the exceeding of the preset dose and dose rate

levels, information about the dose accumulation and conduct of the dose rate in time, as

well as association of the measured parameters with an individual, systematization and

complex analysis of the accumulated dosimetric information.

The dosimeter meets EN 55022:2010 standards according to provisions of

89/336/EEC Directive. The tests to meet these standards have been conducted at ARC

Seibersdorf research GmbH. Declaration of conformity № 6 is given in page 2.

Operating conditions:

-ambient air temperature from minus 20 оСup to plus 70 оС;

-relative humidity up to 98 % at the temperature 35оС;

-pressure from 84 up to 106.7 kPa.
