The check source used in this equipment contains Thorium (a radioactive metal).Thorium is a hazardous material. Injury or disease may result if the Thorium checksource is not handled properly.Observe the following precautions:Do not scratch or abrade the check source in any way to produce small particles. Ifsmall particles are produced, use extreme caution to avoid inhalation—Do not allowparticles to enter the body, through open cut or mouth. Wash any area suspected ofbeing contaminated with Thorium with luke warm water and a non-abrasive soap.Contact qualified medical personnel and the local Radiological Protection Officer(RPO) immediately if you are exposed to check source material.Use extreme care not to touch, scratch, or break or remove the surface of the checksource while handling them.Should the check source become dislodged from the radiac set, return the radiac setand check source for maintenance.Never place a dislodged check source in your pocket.Do not clean check source with abrasives.Refer to TB 43-0116, TB 43-0122, and AR 385-11 for instructions on first aid, safehandling, storage and disposal of radioactive material.

TM 11-6665-245-12

a. Radiacmeter lM-160F/PDR-56 is composedof a two piece, cast metal box which has a carry-ing handle attached to the panel which forms thetop of the box. The panel is used to mount all theoperating controls, the instrument meter, cableconnectors, and a plate used to hold in two bat-teries. The rest of the box forms a cover for the in-ternal components which are attached to the in-side of the top panel. The bottom of the box(Figure 1-2) has a white plastic sheet glued to it.The plastic sheet contains a small piece ofthorium in its center. The thorium is used ascheck source for the radiacmeter.

b. Probe, Radiac DT-224B/PDR-56 (main pro-be) is a metal box with a handle extended above itso that i t can be f i t ted together with theradiacmeter (Figure 1-1). The handle of the mainprobe fits inside the handle of the radiacmeterand they are fastened together with a captivescrew in the radiacmeter handle. The bottomplate of the main probe (Figure 1-2) has six slotscut into it to form a window area. The window areais covered on the inside with a very thin plasticand foil sheet (light barrier) which makes the mainprobe light tight but allows for the entry of alpharadiation. When the main probe is not in use, aplastic window cover must be placed over the win-dow area to protect the light barrier. The mainprobe and the radiacmeter are connected elec-trically by a short coiled cable.

c. Probe, Radiac DT-228A/PDR-56 (aux probe)is a metal housing which is designed to fit ontothe main probe for use in detecting alpha con-tamination when the main probe would be toobulky. In this case, the main probe is reassembledon it. The aux probe also contains a window areaand a light barrier. The light barrier of the auxprobe contains a wire screen to protect it fromsharp objects. It must also be protected by theplastic aux probe cover when not in use. Theplastic cap in the end of the aux probe is a dustand dirt cover.

d. P r o b e , Radiac DT-590A/PDR-56F (x-rayprobe) is a metal cylindrical housing which is de-signed to be attached to the coil cord cable inplace of the main probe for use in detecting lowenergy gamma radiation (areas contaminated byPlutonium-239 material), In this case, the mainprobe is disconnected and removed from theradiacmeter and the probe handle is connected tothe x-ray probe. The retractile cable is then con-nected to the x-ray probe. The extension handlemay be connected to permit use of the probe inthe standing position or to monitor overhead

areas. The x-ray probe contains a wire screen toprotect the scintillation crystal assembly fromsharp objects.

e. C a s e , Radiac Set CY-7375/PDR-56F(storage case) is made of sheet steel, has ahinged cover, a carrying handle, and two cover lat-ches. The inside of the storage case (Figure 1-3) isseparated into compartments for storage of thecomponents of the Radiac Set AN/PDR-56F. Rub-ber cushioning pads and a gasket (to make thestorage case watertight) are cemented to the in-side of the storage case.

f. Miscellaneous components such as theHeadset, Electrical H-43B/U (headset), HarnessST-123/PDR-18A (carrying strap), and the exten-sion handle are also provided. The extension han-dle is an assembly of two telescoping aluminumtubes. The length of the extension handle is ad-justed by loosening a clamping nut and slidingthe two tubes to the length desired and thenretightening the clamp nut.

2-2. Initial ProceduresPerform the procedures below to place theradiacmeter into operation:

a.

CAUTIONProtect the main probe, aux probe andx-ray probe window areas from sharpobjects which could damage the lightbarrier. The light barrier is very thin andeasily punctured which will cause theequipment to become inoperative. Keepthe main and auxiliary probe windowcovers (Figure 1-2) in place when theradiacmeter is not in use.

Operator Check for Main Probe.(1) Open the storage case and remove the

radiacmeter and main probe from their storageposition. Set the radiacmeter with main probeattached, upright on a flat surface.

(2) Loosen the two battery compartmentcover screws (Figure 2-1) and remove the batterycompartment cover.

(3) install two BA-30 batteries into theradiacmeter. Follow the plus and minus markingon the case for the proper battery position.Reinstall the battery compartment cover.

(4) Set the selector switch to the BATTposition and check the batteries.

(5) Loosen the probe handle retaining nut(Figure 2-1) and separate the main probe from theradiacmeter. Remove the main probe windowcover.

(6) Set the selector switch to the 10K posi-tion and place the main probe window area overthe check source (Figure 2-2) on the bottom of theradiacmeter. Fit the main probe and radiacmeterat a right angle to get as close as possible to thecheck source.

WARNINGThe check source used in this equip-ment contains Thorium (a radioactivemetal). Thorium is a hazardous material.Injury or disease may result if the checksource is not handled properly. Use ex-treme care not to touch, scratch, break,or remove the surface of the checksource while handling them. See thefront of this technical manual for firstaid procedures.

(7) Read the indicating meter when thecheck source and the main probe are in contact.

The reading should be 6000 + 1200 CPM if theequipment is operating properly.

b. Operator Check for X-Ray Probe.(1) Follow procedures in paragraph 2-2.a,

then set selector switch to OFF.(2) Disconnect the coil cord cable from the

main probe and connect to the x-ray probe (Figure2-3).

(3) Detach the probe handle from the mainprobe and attach to the x-ray probe (Figure 2-3).

(4) Set the selector switch to the 10K posi-tion and center the x-ray probe window as closeas possible over the check source on the bottomof the radiacmeter (Figure 2-4).

(5) Read the indicating meter when thecheck source and the main probe are in contact.The reading should be between 4,000 and 10,000counts per minute.

2-3. Monitoring Terrain, Supplies, andEquipment.

a. General. The main (or aux probe) and thex-ray probe are used to monitor terrain, supplies,or equipment. Remember that the window areasof each type probe are fragile and can be punc-tured or damaged easily.

b. Procedures for Using the Main Probe (orAux Probe). Adjust the radiacmeter and use theprocedure below for monitoring large open areas.In areas where space is limited, use the aux probe(Paragraph 2-4).

(1) Place the radiacmeter into operation byperforming the procedures in Paragragh 2-2,above.

(2) Determine the best configuration foruse and connect equipment as outlined below:

(a) Main Probe Attached. R a d i a c -meter can be used with the main probe attachedto the radiacmeter (Figure 1-1).

(b) Main Probe Detached. Remove themain probe from the radiacmeter by loosening themain probe handle retaining nut and separatingthe two units. Attach the carrying strap to theradiacmeter case and place the carrying straparound your neck or on your shoulder to aid incarrying.

(c) Main Probe Extended. Connect thehandle extension (Figure 1-1) to the main probe byremoving the handle from the main probe bodyand inserting the handle extension between thetwo.

(3) Set the selector switch to the 1K posi-tion and proceed with monitoring while watchingthe indicating meter.

NOTEIn certain situations, it is inconvenientto constantly watch the indicator meterfor radiation. In those cases, theoperator should wear the headset. Con-nect the headset to the headset connec-tor on the radiacmeter and listen for thesound of clicks generated by radiationdetected by the main probe (or auxprobe). When listening in an area of noradiation, random clicks (below 100CPM) are heard. As an area of radiationis detected by the probe, the clickscome much faster and are accom-panied by higher meter readings.

(4) When an area of radiation is detectedby the main probe (or aux probe), the CPM readingon the indicating meter will increase. Shift theselector switch to the 10K, 100K, and 1M posi-tions as the indicating meter needle moves off thescale.

NOTEWhen changing to higher measurementpositions, the indicating meter needlemight remain to the right (off the scale).In this case, press the METER RESETswitch.

c. Procedures for Using the X-Ray Probe. Per-form Operator Check of X-Ray Probe (Para. 2-2.b)and use the following procedure for monitoringareas suspected of low energy gamma radiationcontamination.

NOTEThere is no waiting time after connec-ting the x-ray probe.

(1) Slowly scan with the probe window 6 to12 inches from the suspected object or area.

(2) The extension handle may be attachedto the x-ray probe by removing the probe and in-serting the extension between the handle and theprobe.

(3) Operate on the most sensitive rangethat does not result in an off-scale meter reading.

2-4. Monitoring PersonnelThe aux probe is used to monitor personnel or tobe used in confined spaces for monitoring wherethe main probe cannot be used. The aux probe isinstalled in place of the main probe on the mainprobe handle prior to use.

a . R e m o v e t h e m a i n p r o b e f r o m t h eradiacmeter by loosening the handle retaining nutand sliding the two apart.

NOTEIn the following procedure, the photo-multiplier tube in the main probe handlewill be uncovered. It must not be ex-posed to any light at all when the equip-ment is OFF, or exposed to any light atall when the equipment is ON. Such ex-posure will damage the photomultipliertube and shorten its life. Take thefollowing precautions:

Change the main probe with auxprobe in a darkened room. Set theselector switch to OFF or removebatteries.

b. Remove two binder head 1/4 inch screws(Figure 2-5) from the main probe handle (below thecable connector). Retain the screws.

c . Grip the handle and the main probe body oneach side of where they separate (right abovewhere the screws were removed). Slowly pull thetwo apart using a twisting motion.

d. Remove the plastic plug from the aux probeand insert it into the large probe opening.

e . Slip the aux probe over the photomultipliertube exposed in c above and rotate while slowlypressing it onto the handle. Line up the holes inthe aux probe with the screw holes in the handle.Replace the two binder head screws in the han-dle.

WARNINGThe check source used in this equip-ment contains Thorium (a radioactivemetal). Thorium is a hazardous material.Injury or disease may result if the checksource is not handled properly. Use ex-treme care not to touch, scratch, break,or remove the surface of the checksource while handling them. See thefront of this technical manual for firstaid procedures.

f. Test the aux probe for light tightness asfollows:

(1) Perform initial procedures of installingbatteries, checking batteries, and placing the auxprobe against the check source as in paragraph2-2 to determine proper operation.

TM 11-6665-245-12

NOTEThe aux probe is not cal ibrated;therefore, there is no standard CPMvalue when using the check source.

(2) After determining proper operation ofradiacmeier, expose the aux probe window areato a light source while watching the indicatingmeter. Any light leaks will cause the meter toshow some CPM value. This value is an error,which must be eliminated before the radiacmetercan be used.

g. Monitor personnel using a systematic pro-cedure. Move the aux probe to cover all body

areas exposed to radiation. Move the probe slowlyand hold it close to the body but without touchingit. In most cases, it will be necessary to listen onthe headset rather than watching the indicatingmeter, unless two persons are doing the monitor-ing.

2-5. Equipment ShutdownAfter mission or equipment use, shut down equip-ment as follows:

a. Remove the batteries from the radiacmeterand store them in the storage case.

b. Place all accessory items into their properpositions in theclose the cover.

Section I. INTRODUCTION

C-1. General.This appendix provides a summary of the maintenanceoperations for AN/PDR-56F. It authorizes categoriesof maintenance for specific maintenance functions onrepairable items and components and the tools andequipment required to perform each function. This ap-pendix may be used as an aid in planning maintenanceoperations.

C-2. Maintenance Function.Maintenance functions will be limited to and defined asfollows:

a. Inspect. To determine the serviceability of anitem by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/orelectrical characteristics with established standardsthrough examination.

b. Test. To verify serviceability and to detect inci-pient failure by measuring the mechanical or electricalcharacteristics of an item and comparing those charac-teristics with prescribed standards.

c. Service. Operations required periodically tokeep an item in proper operating condition, i.e., toclean (decontaminate), to preserve, to drain, to paint, orto replenish fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or com-pressed air supplies.

d. Adjust. To maintain, within prescribed limits,by bringing into proper or exact position, or by settingthe operating characteristics to the specified parameters.

e. Align. To adjust specified variable elements of anitem to bring about optimum or desired performance.

f. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections tobe made or to be adjusted on instruments or testmeasuring and diagnostic equipments used in precisionmeasurement. Consists of comparisons of two in-struments, one of which is a certified standard of knownaccuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the ac-curacy of the instrument being compared.

g. Install. The act of emplacing, seating, or fixinginto position an item, part, module (component orassembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioningof the equipment or system.

h. Replace. The act of substituting a serviceable liketype part, subassembly, or module (component or as-sembly) for an unserviceable counterpart.

i. Repair. The application of maintenance services(inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, replace) orother maintenance actions (weilding, grinding, riveting,straightening, facing, remachining, or resurfacing) torestore serviceability to an item by correcting specificdamage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part, sub-

This fine document...

Was brought to you by me:

Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals

Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly available information, slap “watermarks” and other junk on it, and sell it. Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it... They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not letting you give those free manuals to your friends?

I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share, republish, sell and so on.

I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in search engines:
