4.2.6 Automatic Range Switching for the DRM-1/2:
The detector includes two GM Tubes:
Low range - ZP-1201 (or equivalent), and high range - ZP-1301 (or equivalent).
In a field of 0.01 mR/h to 800 mR/h both GM tubes are connected and the field is measured by the low range GM
tube. If the radiation field is higher than 800 mR/h, the low range detector is disconnected, and the radiation field
is measured by the high range GM tube.
The switching between the low and high range GM-Tube is performed at 800 mR/h when the radiation field
increases (low range detector is disconnected), and at 600 mR/h when the radiation field decreases (low range
detector is connected).
4.2.7 Measuring Range for the DRM-1/2D
• m
R/h to 10 mR/h (0.01 µSv/h to 100 µSv/h)
• Automatic background subtraction is available via RMV software
• Overflow Alarm for reading > 10 mR/h
• Overload for field > 1 R/h
4.2.8 Automatic Background Subtraction
For the DRM-1/2D, the Automatic Background Subtraction is set (using the RMV software) by changing the
‘Background’ number to ‘9999’. The DRM-1/2D will count the background for 60 seconds and then set the
current background internally. To ensure a new update for the backgrounds, turn off dipswitches 7 and 8 and
unplug the AC adapter from power. When the device is powered on, the background will automatically update in
60 seconds. The displayed value on the optional display or software will show the net dose rate.
4.2.9 Power Saving Mode Feature
The Power Saving Mode will reduce power consumption in case the AC power is not present. The WRM2 radio
must be setup for Pin Sleep configuration, for this function to work properly. Contact MGP Instruments for
assistance.
