Sigma Audio Mode Settings

Device Audio Settings

• Backlight: Adjustable setting impacting visibility; OFF disables backlight.
• Sigma Audio:
  • Enabled (ON) allows enhanced audio feedback.
  • Disabled (OFF) activates normal click audio.
  • Requires an 8-second background count for proper function.
  • Device beeps if background count isn’t within acceptable limits (500 cpm - 200 kcpm).
  • Disabled in COUNT mode.
• Dual Level Audio:
  • ON enables high and low audio options along with mute.
  • OFF restricts settings to high and mute.

Datalogging and Alarm Settings

• Datalogging Mode (Default 1): Displays current selection with values from 0-9 for ones, tens, and hundreds places; audio enabled only during setup.
• Current Overload Threshold (Default 100):
  • Adjustable from 0-9 across ones, tens, hundreds places.
  • Setting to 0 disables the Current Overload Alarm.
  • Long press on DETECTOR button shows live current reading.

Alarm Timers and Mode Settings

• Loss of Count Alarm Time (Default 60 seconds):
  • Adjustable in seconds with similar value range (0-9).
  • Setting to 0 will disable the alarm.
• Primary RATE/MAX Units and Minimum Display (Default 0 µR/hr):
  • Mode options for COUNT adjustable via software:
    • 0: Only countdown timer displayed during active countdown.
    • 1: Cycles between countdown timer and current reading.
    • 2: Only displays current reading.
  • LOG button starts a count and logs results; long press toggles display mode.
  • Audio Clicks in COUNT Mode:
    • Default setting is disabled.
    • Can be enabled (1) for audio feedback during count.

Important Notes

• Sigma audio is not operational in COUNT mode, and only click audio is utilized if both are enabled.
• Scaler count can also be represented in disintegrations (d) for results in activity.

User Interface and Navigation

• Model 3001 features multiple Setup Pages, each with distinct parameters, displayed graphically.
• Tapping the MODE button allows users to cycle through Setup Pages.
• The UNITS button accesses the first parameter and can exit menus with a long press.
• Exiting is possible with one or two long presses, depending on the menu level.

Setup Pages Overview

• Parameters are organized into four main Setup Pages with specific settings for different models.
• Each model has different calibration constants, efficiency levels, and thresholds pertinent to radiation detection.

Parameter Settings

• Setup Page P1 focuses on calibration constants, dead time corrections, and detection thresholds.

  • Calibration Constant (Mantissa and Exponent) varies by model, e.g., for Model 133-6, it's 122 and 04.
  • Dead Time Corrections have specific values (e.g., Correction 1 is 36 for Model 133-6).
  • Efficiency rates are differentiated: 100 for Alpha and 15 for Beta.

• Setup Page P2 centers on Unit 1 settings, including rate, maximum display, and alarm configurations.

  • Example values for Rate/Max Mode Alarm include 5.00 mR/h for Model 133-6.
  • Minimum Display for Unit 1 sets to 0.00 for specific radiation units.

• Setup Page P3 is dedicated to Unit 2 parameters, echoing settings from Unit 1.

  • Includes rates and display units, with maximum settings up to 999 kcpm.

Additional Features

• Response times, auto shutdown times, and audio modes are customizable settings across setups.
• Datalogging and real-time clock features include month, day, year, hour, minute, and seconds settings to keep track of data consistently.

Alarm Settings

• Multiple alarm configurations for Units 1 and 2 are customizable to enhance user awareness.
• Overload thresholds and loss of count alarms are set, ensuring adequate monitoring during operation.

Customization and Control

• The Model 3001 allows for specific configurations tailored to laboratory or field conditions, enhancing usability in various environments.
• Auto shutdown can be disabled for continuous operation where necessary, such as in prolonged surveys.
