Assembly Instructions
Components
Universal Chamber Holder
The Universal Chamber Holder consists of 5 components as shown. These
components are combined as illustrated in the following instructions
to produce tripod or hand holding devices that are suitable for all
Radcal chambers (excluding CT chambers).
Assembly Instructions
Simply screw the support bracket (2) onto a tripod and fit the chamber into the spring clip as shown above. The chamber stem can be rotated in the clip to achieve the desired measurement direction when using "pancake" style chambers such as the 60 and 180cc chambers.
Note:The 60cc chamber requires the 6231m support to be fitted prior to mounting in the clip.
Hand Support
Fit
the handle (5) to the
support bracket (2) with
screw (3) using the Allen
key (4). This converts
a Radcal chamber usually 180 or 1800cc into a survey type hand held
instrument as shown above.
Note: When making very low level leakage measurements over a prolonged
period, it is preferable to support the chamber on a tripod.
Warning:Only make hand held measurements in areas where the radiation dose
has been estimated to be less than the permitted personnel exposure
level.
Use with Radcal Converter 9060
When
using the Universal Chamber Holder to support 10X5 series chambers
that are directly connected to a 9060 converter, the converter support
bracket (1) should
be added. The bracket (1) and the handle (5) incorporates a location pin. When the screw (3) is tightened the converter support bracket (1) will be firmly in place. Before fitting a chamber, connect it to the converter and slacken the plastic threaded ring that is located between the connector and the converter housing. The resulting assembly ensures that the weight of the converter is not transfered to the chamber connector.
