2.1 Authorised personnel
All operations described in this documentation must be carried out
onlybytrained,qualiedpersonnelauthorisedbytheplantoperator.
During work on and with the device, the required personal protective
equipment must always be worn.
The handling of radioactive substances is regulated by law. The radia-
tion protection rules of the country in which the system is operated
applyrstandforemost.
In Germany the current radiation protection ordinance (StrlSchV)
based on the Atomic Energy Law (AtG) is applicable.
The following points are important for measurement with radiometric
methods:
A handling permit is required for operation of a system using gamma
rays.This permit is issued by the respective state government or
theresponsibleauthority(ocesforenvironmentalprotection,trade
supervisory boards, etc.)
We would be pleased to assist you in applying for the permit.
Whenhandlingradioactivesources,unnecessaryradiationexposure

low as possible.Take note of the following three important measures:

Fig. 1: Measures for protection against radioactive radiation
1 Shielding
2 Time
3 Distance
Shielding: Provide good shielding between the source and yourself
as well as all other persons. Special source containers as well as all
materials with high density (e.g. lead, iron, concrete, etc.) provide
eectiveshielding.
Time:Stayasshortatimeaspossibleinradiationexposedareas.
Distance:Your distance to the source should be as large as possible.
The local dose rate of the radiation decreases in proportion to the
square of the distance to the radiation source.

2.2 Appropriate use
When in operating mode, the source container VEGASOURCE 82 de-
scribed in this document contains a radiactive source for radiometric
level, interface, switching and density measurement as well as mass
owdetection.Thesourcecontainershieldstheradiationofromthe

Toensuretheshieldingeectandexcludedamagetotheradioactive
source, all instructions in this operating instructions manual and the
legal radiation protection regulations must be observed during instal-
lation and operation.
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is used prop-
erly. We are not liable for damages caused by improper use.

regulations and directives.The instrument must only be operated in a
technicallyawlessandreliablecondition.Theoperatorisresponsi-
ble for the trouble-free operation of the instrument. When measuring
aggressive or corrosive media that can cause a dangerous situation
if the instrument malfunctions, the operator has to implement suitable
measures to make sure the instrument is functioning properly.
During the entire duration of use, the user is obliged to determine the
compliance of the necessary occupational safety measures with the

To avoid any danger, the safety approval markings and safety tips on
the device must also be observed.
2.5 Application reference
• Take note of the applicable regulations and national/international
standards.
• Take note of the radiation protection ordinance when using, storing
and working with the radiometric measuring system.
• Take note of the warning instructions and safety zones.
• Install and operate the instrument according to the documentation
andtherespectiveocialregulations.
• The instrument must not be operated and stored outside the
speciedparameters.
• Protecttheinstrumentagainstextremeinuences(e.g.chemi-
cal products, weather, mechanical shock, vibration, etc.) during
operation and storage. Especially when loaded with a source, the
instrument may not be destroyed for any reason (e.g. for scrap-
ping).
• Before switching on the radiation, make sure that no persons are
in the radiation area (also not outside the vessel). The radiation
must only be switched on by trained personnel.
• Do not use a corroded or damaged instrument. Inform the respon-
sibleradiationsafetyocerassoonasdamageorcorrosion
appears and follow his instructions.
• Carry out the necessary tightness test according to the applicable
rules and instructions.
• If there are doubts about the proper condition of the measuring
system, check if there is radiation in the environment of the instru-
mentandinformtheresponsibleradiationsafetyocer.
• Always secure the switch position OFF with a lock.
The combination lock can be opened with the number combination
000 on delivery.
We recommend changing the number combination to a personal
number sequence. Make a note of the number combination and keep
it in a safe place.
