Dimensions
ie-snc-F8001-01

Radiation Shield Location
Place the radiation shield at least 1.8 m above the ground. If it is necessary to mount the shield in close proximity to the building, it should be on its north (shaded) side. For professional measurements, a grass place is recommended that has no obstacles within a radius of 10 m (the lawn should be maintained on an ongoing basis). The distance to the nearest building should be more than four times the height of the building.

Radiation Shield Mounting
The package includes two clamps for fixing the shield. Attach the clamps to a pipe with a diameter of 20 to 50 mm (vertical or horizontal) and then attach the shield with the enclosed M8 nuts (see figure). The pipe should not interfere with the space next to the shield.

Measuring Probe Installation
Insert the measuring probes into the glands at the bottom of the shield to the recommended height (see figure) and tighten the nut to secure the probe. Secure the cables with cable ties. Radiation shield F8001 is designed for mounting one probe. The optional accessories (FP004) allows up to four probes to be installed. Loosen the M4 nuts (see figure), remove the reflector plate with the gland and screw on the plate with the four glands. Insert blanking plugs in unused glands.
