Spectroscopic Personal Radiation Detector
What type of scintillator does the RadEye SPRD-GN use?
CLYC
What is the main function of Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) in the RadEye SPRD-GN?
To distinguish between gamma and neutron radiation
Which colored LED indicates a gamma alarm
Orange
What is the recommended maximum gamma dose rate for accurate readings on this device?
250 µSv/h
Which function allows differentiation between man-made and natural radiation?
Natural Background Rejection (NBR)
How is a neutron alarm visually indicated?
Blue LED
What must be done before inserting new batteries?
Switch the unit off and wait ~5 seconds
How long does the learning phase last after startup?
16 seconds
What information is displayed during startup?
Time/date, firmware, calibration date
What is shown by the bar graph in the basic display?
Intensity of radiation relative to thresholds
What happens when the “ON” button is held for more than one second?
Unit powers on
What is the purpose of the Lu-Adjust?
Calibrate energy response using a Lutetium source
What does the “Finder mode” do?
Produces varying tones based on radiation intensity
How can the scaler mode be accessed?
Through the “Operation mode” submenu
In nuclide ID mode, what does a confidence level below 6 suggest?
Repeat measurement with longer acquisition
What symbol is shown when auto-adjust is active?
Pulsing heart
What is required to keep RTC running during battery replacement?
Replace batteries quickly without delay
What is the function of the “Cross-mode”?
Combines dose rate display with count rate bar
Which of the following can trigger an automatic nuclide ID?
Reaching preset count rate threshold or NBR alarm
What happens if more than 200 spectra are stored without overwrite enabled?
User is prompted to confirm overwrite
What kind of batteries does the RadEye SPRD-GN use?
AAA Alkaline or rechargeable
What unit is not supported by the RadEye SPRD-GN for dose measurements
rad
How are menu options made invisible to simplify the user interface
Via the PC configuration software
