`
`lftheequipmentisusedinamanner,o,ffi,thismanual,theprotectionprovidedby
`the equipment may be impaired.
`
`CAUTION
`High voltage is present inside the chamber (up to 180 Volts). Due to the presence of this high
`voltage, opening the covers with the sysfem plugged in may be hazardous. Refer all
`seruicing to qualified personnel.
`
`CAUTION
`No internal adjustments rnsrde the Readout or Chamber may be performed by the user within

`voltages, opening the cover with the sysfem plugged in may be hazardous. Refer all
`servicing to qualified personnel.
`
`CAUTION
`Never use the calibrator without the well liner in place. Liners are inexpensive and easy to
`replace. A contaminated chamber is a very costly mistake. lf unit becomes contaminated
`remove liner and clean unit as sfafed in CHAPTER 10: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
`before operating.
`
`CAUTION
`Care must be exercised when moving the instrument or when maintenance is performed.
`The shielded cytinder is heavy (13.6 kg or 30 lb.). ln order to provide the required sensitivity,
`the walt of the ionization chamber is extremely thin and the chamber is filled with pressurized
`gas. lt is therefore, essential to avoid mechanical shock or vibration of any kind.
`
`CAUTION
`When working with a heavy sample (especially a CapMac or Moly Assay Canister) always
`lower it gentty into the chamber well. Dropping any heavy obiect into the well can cause
`permanent, expensive damage.
`
`CAUTION
`The use of muttiplication and division factors in Calibration Numbers i2only to maintain a
`degree of consistency with other Capintec dose calibrators. The CRC@-/5R is a direct
`reading instrument. lf multiplication or division is required, the arithmetic will be done by the
`sysfem. The actual activity is displayed. DO NOT apply these factors to the displayed activity
`yourself.
`
`CAUTION
`tt is desirable to leave the unit powered at all times in order to prevent moisture absorption
`and to maintain the stability of the instrument (especially if the instrument is subiected to high
`humidity or low temperature).

`CAUTION
`The sensitivity of the chamber is somewhat dependent upon the vertical position of the
`sample within the well. All calibrations were done with a Standard Sample placed in the
`supplied sample holder (dipper). lt should be noted that in this configuration, the sampte is
`not quite at the bottom of the well. lf, for any reason, you make a measurement without using
`the dipper, be sure that the sample is in the correct vertical position. Both the CapMac and

`GENERAL SAFETY TIPS
`. Unplug the equipment before cleaning it. Use only a damp cloth; do not use solvents
`or aerosol cleaners.
`. To protect the equipment from overheating, do not use the equipment directly in front
`of a radiator or heat register.
`. Do not use the equipment near water, or spill liquids of any kind into the equipment.
`. Be sure that your power source matches the rating listed on the CRC@-15R calibrator
`. The CRC@-15R power cord has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety feature, and it
`will only fit into a grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter to defeat the grounding.
`. To avoid damaging the power cord, do not place anything on it or place it where it will
`be stepped on. lf the cord becomes damaged, replace it immediately.
`. Aside from the routine maintenance described in this manual, do not try to service
`this equipment yourself. Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in
`this manual, as you may in-validate the calibration or cause damage requiring
`extensive repair work. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

`CHAPTER 2
`
`FUNGTIONAL & TECHNICAL
`DESCRIPTION
`
`FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
`The CRC@-15R provides a precise, accurate, fast and very convenient method of measuring
`the activity of a radioisotope sample for Nuclear Medicine and Brachytherapy.
`
`The activity of the sample will be displayed with a proper unit when a sample of unknown
`strength (activity) of a known radioisotope is placed in the ionization chamber and the correct
`calibration number is selected.
`
`The sample must be placed in the same geometry as the reference source used to
`determine the calibration number by using the appropriate source holder.
`
`Note; For a detaited description of the basic principles of the calibrator, see fo APPENDIX I
`PRINCIPLE OF THE CALIBRATOR.
`
`Activity measurements are performed by the state of the art electronic circuits in conjunction
`with an ionization chamber possessing extremely high sensitivity and stability.
`
`The effects of the sample container, sample volume, and activity concentration are
`minimized by optimizing the counting geometries.
`
`Nine preset nuclide keys are provided for the most often used radioisotopes.
`
`Four user assignable nuclide keys are provided for commonly used radioisotopes that do not
`have a preset nuclide key.
`
`Assays may be made reliably in the Chamber, from as low as 1 microcurie (0.1
`r"guUuqr"rel)for most radioisotopes to as high as B curies [200 giga (10e) Becquerel]of
`Tc99m.
`
`The 6cm diameter and 25cm deep ionization chamber well allows convenient measurements
`of virtually any radioisotope geometry in clinical use including whole generators, syringes and
`seed trains.
`
`The external shield of the ionization chamber protects users from exposure to intensive
`radiation and reduces the effect from background radiation on low-level measurements.

`This is the Clear Entry key and is used to erase the last character when entering
`data.
`
`ENTER Key
`This is used to accept entered data and print a record of the measurement.
`
`ARROW Keys (lS and J)
`When alpha numeric input is being entered, the Arrow keys are used to scroll through
`the possible values on each number/letter key.
`
`During a Chamber measurement, the arrows are used to change the precision of the
`displayed measurement for low activity.
`
`When a multi-field entry is being made (e.9. date, time, activity, half-life)the arrows
`are used to move to the next field or to change the value of the unit.
`
`Ci / Bq Key
`Pressing this key toggles the measurement between Curies and Becquerels
`It is only active if USER SELECTABLE has been chosen for Ci/Bq.
`
`Entering Data
`Numeric Data
`Numeric data is entered via the NUMBER/LETTER keys on the right hand side of the
`keyboard.
`
`The decimal point is on the same key as the UP ARROW (lS).
`
`lf the entry must be an integer, the decimal point will not be allowed.
`
`Press CE to erase the last digit entered.
`
`Press ENTER when a correct entry has been made
`
`Alphanumeric Data
`Alphanumeric data (numbers and letters) are also entered via the NUMBER/LETTER
`keys.
`
`When a NUMBER/LETTER key is pressed, the number appears. Use the ARROW
`keys to change the number into one of the letters on the same key. When the UP
`ARROW (F) is pressed, the letters appear in the clockwise direction. When the
