The distance from the pull box to the detector will be determined by the amount of flex hose used to seal the detector cables. Additional information is found in the paragraph below Cable Sealing and in CABLE- 877 and 878-12-3 procedures in Appendix B. Once the cables have been pulled and tested, the pull box cover must be

Operation 3 Operation Section 3 Operation 3.1 Operation Once installation is completed, operation is fully automatic. The 876A-1 Readout Module continuously indicates the level of radioactivity measured at the detector site. When the radiation level exceeds an alarm set point, an alarm is actuated. The following steps explain how to operate the 875 monitor: 1. Turn the function switch to the TEST position, and press and release the Electronic Check Source (ECS) push button. About fou

Return the module to service. During normal operation, the radiation field is usually less than 1 R/h (the lower limit of detection of the high range detector) and the analog meter display will be at the low end of the meter scale.
