R/F SENSOR: SPECIFICATIONS

Dimensions: 14 × 22 × 79 mm (0.5 × 0.9 × 3.1 in)
Weight: 42 g (1.5 oz)
Storage temperature: -25 – +70 °C (-13 – +158 °F)
Storage humidity: Non-condensing
Operating temperature: 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F)
Operating atmospheric 70 – 110 kPa (3000 m above sea level)

Minimum field of uniform The thick solid line marked on the sensor
radiation:
Angular deviation, dose: < 1% within ± 10°
Backscatter: Insensitive to scattered radiation outside ± 70°
The combined standard uncertainty for a dose or dose rate measurement is calculated according
to the method described in IEC 61674:2012, annex A. The calculation considers, among others,
the influence quantities repeatability, radiation quality, direction of incident radiation, pressure and
temperature and is based on the calibration uncertainty of the RaySafe calibration lab as well as
data from PTB type testing. The combined uncertainty is less than 5 %.

R/F SENSOR: MEASUREMENT PARAMETER DEFINITIONS

Dose and HVL are calculated from all recorded data.
Dose rate is the average dose rate, calculated as dose/time.
Time starts the first time the dose rate waveform reaches 50% of peak, and ends the last time it
drops below 50%. Live readings are time since start trig.
kVp and total filtration are calculated from an average of samples above 90 % of peak signal
level.
Pulses are counted at every start trig with more than 4 ms since last end trig. With AC pulse
counting set to On, pulses are counted each time the dose rate waveform rises above 50 % of
peak.
Pulse rate and dose per pulse are moving averages.
For measurements longer than 3 s, the final readings of dose rate, kVp, HVL and total fil-
tration are moving averages ending approximately 1–2 s before end trig. Live readings are moving
averages.

Note! If measurements are made simultaneously with the R/F sensor and mAs cable, any shared
parameter (time, pulses or pulse rate) will be taken from the R/F sensor.

SETTING: UNITS
Select displayed unit for dose and dose rate.
1 Gy = 114.1 R
Note! X2 systems subject to legal calibration (Eichung) in Germany or Austria do not have the
possibility to change dose unit to Röntgen (R).

SETTING: STOP DELAY

The stop delay setting defines for how long the instrument will wait for more radiation to include
in the same measurement.

14
 RaySafe X2 – R/F

Use a longer stop delay when measuring on a pulsed fluoroscopy system or to get a prepulse recorded
into the same measurement as the following ordinary exposure.

Stop delay setting longer than the time between pulses (t>T), will result in one long measure-
ment. Note that you have to wait as long as the stop delay setting (t) after the last exposure be-
fore the measurement ends and values will be displayed.

Stop delay setting shorter than the time between pulses (t<T), will result in many short measure-
ments (one for each pulse).

SETTING: IGNORE PREPULSES

Use the ignore prepulses setting to remove one or many unwanted prepulses from the measure-
ment.

Ignore prepulses = 0, the whole exposure is captured.

15
 RaySafe X2 – R/F

Ignore prepulses = 1, the (first) prepulse is excluded from the measurement.

Note! This setting will affect all parameters, including the dose measurement.

SETTING: AC PULSE COUNTING

The AC pulse counting method can help in certain situations, but should normally be turned Off.

Exceptions:
To avoid counting pre-heat pulses on intra oral AC machines, select On.
To count individual pulses on full wave rectified single phase AC machines, select On.
Note! This setting affects pulses, pulse rate and dose per pulse.

SETTING: CORRECTION FACTOR

For some specific measurement setups, a correction factor is applicable. In all other cases, use
None.

Siemens CT Straton
Some Siemens CT Somatom machines have a Straton tube. To get a correct kV value on such
machines, select Siemens CT Straton. This setting affects only the kVp value.

GE CT 10.5°
When measuring kV on a GE CT machine with 10.5° anode angle, select GE CT 10.5° to use
a correction factor specifically adapted for maximum kV accuracy on such machines. Measure
without bow tie filter if possible. This setting affects only the kVp value and is intended for GE
Field Service Engineers.

GE CT 7° Monopolar
When measuring kV on a GE CT machine with 7° anode angle and monopolar tube, select GE
CT 7° Monopolar to use a correction factor specifically adapted for maximum kV accuracy on
such machines. Measure without bow tie filter if possible. This setting affects only the kVp value
and is intended for GE Field Service Engineers.

SURVEY SENSOR: ZERO ADJUST

A zero adjustment is needed either when prompted by the instrument or when the dose rate ap-
pears too high even if no radiation is present. You can initiate a zero adjustment by pressing the
>0< button. You will then get the option to either adjust, or to reset to the factory zero.

Adjust
A new zero adjustment will vary between 30 and 90 seconds, depending on environmental factors,
such as temperature. If the zero adjustment fails, try again. Make sure that the temperature is
stable and that the sensor is not irradiated during the process.

Reset
The factory zero is a generic zero adjustment performed when the sensor was produced. It is de-
signed to be valid for most measurement occasions. You can reset to the factory zero at any time
by pressing >0< and then Reset. This can be useful for example in an environment without pos-
sibility to shield the sensor from radiation, which is needed to get a proper result from a zero ad-
justment.
Note! The zero adjustment is saved in the base unit.
