Overview

UT334A is a compact radiation dose tester used to monitor X, f3, and y rays. The product has the characteristics of high sensitivity and accurate measurement and is equipped with a high-performance microprocessor and TFT 2.0 color screen, which makes the operation convenient and the anti-interference ability strong. It has audio and visual alarms. The alarm thresholds can be set. The product will raise alarms when the thresholds are reached. The main specifications conform to national and international standards.

Applications

UT334A is widely used in home decoration, radiation processing enterprise, health and epidemic prevention, radiation therapy, nuclear laboratory, nuclear power plant, import and export inspection, building materials, petrochemical, geological survey, scrap steel, industrial nondestructive testing, and other environments existing ionizing radiation, personal radiation dose supervision and protection occasions.

Operation

1. Power on
   Long press 3s to turn on the product and enter the main interface.

2. Power off
   Long press for 3s to turn off the product.
   Note: When shown on the screen, the product cannot be turned off. If users need to turn it off at this time, enter the “Schedule” interface to stop timing.

3. Measure
   Enter the “Measure” interface to view real-time dose rate (0.05uSv-50mSv), average dose rate (0.05uSv-50mSv) and total dose (0.1uSv-9999mSv).

4. Schedule
   Enter the “Schedule” interface to set the start delay time (00-99h) and the measurement time (00-999h). Select “Start timing” and press

5.  and the product will start the countdown. When the start delay countdown returns to zero, the real-time dose rate, average dose rate, and total dose will also return to zero and the product will start measuring the radiation dose and total dose rate. When the measurement time countdown returns to zero, the product will automatically save the interval measurement data. Users can find these data in the “Records” interface.
   Note: Start delay is the countdown to start the measurement, and the hour, minute, and second can be set. Select “Start timing” and press to start the countdown. When the countdown ends, the measurement begins.

6. Records
   After each scheduled measurement, the product will automatically save one history record. A maximum of 10 records can be saved. After 10 records are saved, the new record automatically replaces the last one if users continue to store the new record.

7. Delete
   Enter the “Delete” interface to delete current data or historical data. The current data is the average dose rate and total dose. The history data is all data in historical records.
   Note: Historical records cannot be restored after being deleted. When shown on the screen, the product cannot enter the “Delete” interface.
   Select “Calibration factor” and press twice, and “Password: 0000” will appear at the bottom of the screen. Press to adjust “0000” to “0018”, and press to confirm. Press or On to adjust the calibration factor, and press to save. It is used to calibrate the error in the range of 20uSv-1uSv.
   Note: Cf=1.00 by default
   Calibration factor Cf= Personal dose equivalent Hp (10) reference value/Device indicating value
   Technical specification for calibration (code, name): JJG 1009-2016 Personal Dose Equivalent Hp (10) Monitors for X and y Radiations

8. Alarm
   Dose rate: 0.1uSv-999uSv
   Total dose: 1uSv-9999uSv
   The product will raise alarms when the thresholds are reached.

9. Unit
   In the unit setting interface, select “unit”, press , and then press or switch between uSv and uGy. The language can be English or Chinese.

10. Sound
    In this interface, the alarm volume and alarm times can be set. Adjust the alarm volume to 0, and the sound will be turned off. If the particle sound is turned on, when ions enter the sensor, the product will make a particle sound.
