The following table lists all the components that make up the document.
This procedure provides comprehensive instruction on the disassembly and reassembly of the RadSeeker. This includes the removal of detectors and all printed circuit boards (PCBs) except for the display PCB. This procedure is referenced in other documents for removal of the gamma detector and multi-channel analyzer (MCA). It is not usually necessary to complete the entire procedure; only steps needed to access specific components. If a torque screwdriver tool is not available, take care not to overtighten screws.
Prior to arrival, notify operators concerning expected work and duration.
