1065 - 1064 - Follow on-screen instructions; Remark:1061

The Identification display screen provides useful information while measurement is conducted.

Optimal identification measurements are obtained when the screen displays the message “Ok!”.

For high activity isotopes, the MKC-A03 screen will display the message “move away.” In this case, move the instrument farther away from the radioactive material until “Ok!” is displayed.

For relatively weak radioactive sources, the MKC A03 will display the message “move closer.” In this case, keep the instrument as close as possible to the location of interest and, if possible, continue the measurement for a longer time (see next step). Longer identification measurements result in a higher probability and accuracy of isotope identification.
