TNT
The Verification trap/marker is___?
RDX
The HE detector temperature can take up to __ minutes to stabilize if powered off prior to calibration.
15
What must be done prior to pressing the “Trigger” during Auto Calibration on the HE detector ?
A Calibration trap must be inserted.
Prior to Verification of the Auto Calibration on the HE detector what must the operator do?
Insert a clean trap and press the “Trigger.” Repeat until green screen “No Alarm Ready” appears.
Gloves be changed between Auto Calibration and Verification steps of the HE detector . T/F
True
When preparing for sample collection for the HE detector how many Sample traps should be prepared?
3 sets of Sample traps with envelopes.
Explain sample collection and preparation for the HE detector .
Sample 1 is collected from IPC. Sample 2 is collected from sample 1. Sample 3 is collected from sample 2.
Sample 1 is the first sample examined by the HE Detector after sample preparation. T/F
F- Sample 3 is the first tested sample.
Use a _ gig (or less) thumb drive or SD card formatted to “___ __” to transfer data from the HE Detector.
8; FAT 32.
The steps for transferring data are: ____>_____ _____>____ ____ ____ __ ______ _____.
Menu>Advanced Menu>Copy Alarm Files to External Media.
What 2 steps need to be completed during Shutdown?
Delete Alarm Files; 5 min System Burn.
If Manual Calibration of the HE detector is necessary which option is correct: Dual Peak Calibrate or Single Peak Calibrate?
Single Peak Calibrate
Select the top of the RDX/HMX peak, not the RDX-H:1 peak to perform HE detector Manual Calibration. T/F
True
A SIG file is generated under what circumstances on theHE detector ?
As a result of Insufficient Quantity of Explosives-No Alarm.
When sampling with the HE detector, what should happen after an Insufficient Quantity of Explosives-No Alarm?
The SIG should be recorded and the next generation sample (either 2 or 1) should be tested.
Position the ORTEC for optimal spectrum collection (between __ and __ cps and between __% and __% dead time.
5K, 20K; 10, 40.
The internal battery of the ORTEC should last?
2–3 hours at 77 degrees F.
The ORTEC requires what size external memory card?
2 Gb or smaller SD.
