OVERVIEW

VIEW MODES

The JT-RAD01 has two display modes that can be switched between. Press the Left or Right button to switch between the modes:

REAL TIME VIEW
All relevant data is displayed in the real-time view. This includes the current radiation exposure, the average radiation exposure per hour, the highest measured radiation exposure, the cumulative accumulated radiation exposure, and the alarm trigger values for the current and cumulative radiation exposure.

GRAPH VIEW
In the graph view, the course of the radiation expo-sure is displayed in the form of a graph. In addition, the current radiation exposure as well as the minimum and maximum measured radiation expo-sure are displayed.

SETTINGS

To enter the settings, press and hold the right/settings button. You can navigate through the settings menu with the up and down buttons. Press the right button to enter a sub-menu. To leave the sub-menu, press the left button.

UNITS
Set the measurement unit used for the current radia-tion level, the minimum radiation level and the maxi-mum radiation level. You can choose between the following units:

μSv/h Microsievert per hour
μGy/h Microgray per hour
mR/h Milliroentgen per hour
CPS Counts per second
CPM Counts per minute

LIMITS
Here you can set the limits individually. The alarm limit of the current radiation exposure as well as the alarm limit of the cumulative exposure and the reset value of the cumulative exposure can be defined here.

CLOCK
Set the current date and time here.

ALARM
Define here the ways you want to be informed about increased radiation exposure. You can choose from the following options:

LED A red LED above the display indicates the counts by the current radiation exposure.
VIBRATION A vibration alerts you when the set alarm limit is exceeded.
SOUND A sound alerts you when the set alarm limit is exceeded.

DISPLAY
Both the display brightness and the system language can be set here. The languages English and German are available.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please note that our device is not a medical device or protective equipment, no health decisions should be made based on the readings from this device. We recommend always making decisions with your health in mind. Avoid dangerous situations and play it safe.
The device is expressly not intended to be used to assess whether there is a danger from radiation or to determine how long to stay in the contaminated area, it provides a “rough” indication that is not suitable for assessing health risks. Only professional equipment specifically designed for such purposes should be used.
Do not open the device, components inside work with high voltage, there is a risk of serious injury up to death by electric shock. Maintenance and repair may only be carried out by the manufacturer or an electrician who has been trained in the product!
Protect the product from extreme temperatures, mechanical stress, strong vibrations as well as flammable gases, vapors and solvents. Use the device only in a dry environment, it must not get wet or damp.
The device heats up when charging, do not cover it, it should not be charged unattended. Please use a 5 V 500 mA charger.
Always handle the product with care. Shocks, jolts and falls, even from a low height can damage the device. The counting tube inside is made of glass and is fragile.
If safe operation is no longer possible, take the product out of operation immediate-ly. Safe operation is no longer guaranteed if the device shows visible damage, no longer functions properly, has been stored under unfavorable conditions for a longer period of time or has been subjected to a considerable transport load. In this case, please contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
Your device is equipped with a lithium-ion battery 1100 mah, lithium-ion batteries are safe if handled properly, but if the device / battery is damaged or gets wet, there is a risk of heat development, up to fire. In case of damage where it can not be excluded that the internal battery was damaged, we recommend storing in a fireproof container in a safe place, this should not be your home!
