8. Calibration Summary for the DRM-1/2
8.1 Preface
8.1.1 Calibration Factors
To improve the linearity, the DRM-1 includes five calibration factors: The two lower factors are for the low
range GM tube, from 0.01 mR/h to 800 mR/h; and the other three are for the high range GM tube, from 600 mR/h
to 1000 R/h. Once the F factors have been set a linearity verification should be performed on all ranges.
The calibration factors will be set using the RMC software:
F1 - first calibration factor for low range.
F2 - second calibration factor for low range.
F3 - first calibration factor for high range.
F4 - second calibration factor for high range.
F5 - third calibration factor for high range.
• F1 and F3 are used to compensate the GM tube sensitivity tolerances.
• F1 for the low range (ZP1201) and F3 for the high range (ZP1301).
• F2, F4 and F5 are used to compensate the dead time tolerances.
• F2 for the low range (ZP1201) and F4, F5 for the high range (ZP1301).
8.1.2 Calibration Ranges
F1 m
ust be set at 50 mR/h ± 20 mR/h
F2 must be set at 350 mR/h ± 50 mR/h
F3 must be set at 10 R/h ± 2 R/h
F4 must be set at 200 R/h ± 60 R/h
F5 must be set at 600 R/h ± 100 R/h
Measured (displayed) readings are calculated by one of the following two formulas, depending on the
intensity of the radiation field:
• Low range: N(mR/h) = [n*F1 + dead time correction {n*F2}]/17
• High range, up to 300 R/h: N(R/h) = [n*F3 + dead time correction {n*F4}]/300
• High range, over 400 R/h: N(R/h) = [n*F3 + dead time correction {n*F5}]/300
Where
n is the detector frequency obtained in the radiation field.
N is the updated measurement reading.
Between 300 R/h to 400 R/h, a weighed average of F2 and F3 is used as the dead time correction factor. The
calculation of the "averaged factor" and the corresponding measurement formula follow:
x = (last N(R/h) - 300)/100
