Radiation Sensor

VideoRay Radiation Sensor Operating Tips

Remove entire skid from the VideoRay ROV by removing the 4 Phillips head screws that go through the dome retainers and into the skid from the front and back.
Fit the Radiation Detector to the dome retainers with the long probe end protruding to the front, and replace the 4 retaining screws removed in step 1.
Plug the cable from the Radiation Detector into the accessory port.
You may have to add or subtract weights to suit your particular setup and water conditions.

The ROV accessory port should be sealed with either a dummy plug or the manipulator or cutter.

Run AW-RADW.exe by double clicking on it.
It should start up and report "COM x Present" where x is the COM port to which the serial cable from the VideoRay control box is connected.
Click on "Rad Collection" then "Express Start Collection of Rad Data."
Follow the command prompts for file name, etc.
After setting up the file names and logging options a graph window should open in addition the logging window labeled Aw-Radw.
Both windows should now be displaying a new data point every 10 seconds. To adjust the frequency of display, stop the collection (Rad Collection>Stop the Rad Collection). Change the Time Base Unit (TBU) (Rad Options>Time Base Unit>Time Base Unit). Set the time base unit to a low value to increase the frequency of the graph points, or a high value to decrease the frequency of the graph points. Note: The Time Base Unit does not affect the click sound frequency.

This equipment is optional and may not be included in all VideoRay Pro 4 configurations.
