Warranty and Product Support
Fluke Biomedical warrants this instrument against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from
the date of original purchase OR two years if at the end of your first year you send the instrument to a Fluke
Biomedical service center for calibration. You will be charged our customary fee for such calibration. During
the warranty period, we will repair or at our option replace, at no charge, a product that proves to be
defective, provided you return the product, shipping prepaid, to Fluke Biomedical. This warranty covers the
original purchaser only and is not transferable. The warranty does not apply if the product has been
damaged by accident or misuse or has been serviced or modified by anyone other than an authorized Fluke
Biomedical service facility. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, SUCH AS FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA,
ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
This warranty covers only serialized products and their accessory items that bear a distinct serial number
tag. Recalibration of instruments is not covered under the warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary in different
jurisdictions. Since some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of
incidental or consequential damages, this limitation of liability may not apply to you. If any provision of this
warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such
holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Returns and Repairs
Return Procedure
All items being returned (including all warranty-claim shipments) must be sent freight-prepaid to our factory location. When
you return an instrument to Fluke Biomedical, we recommend using United Parcel Service, Federal Express, or Air Parcel
Post. We also recommend that you insure your shipment for its actual replacement cost. Fluke Biomedical will not be
responsible for lost shipments or instruments that are received in damaged condition due to improper packaging or
handling.
Use the original carton and packaging material for shipment. If they are not available, we recommend the following guide
for repackaging:
Use a double–walled carton of sufficient strength for the weight being shipped.
Use heavy paper or cardboard to protect all instrument surfaces. Use nonabrasive material around all
projecting parts.
Use at least four inches of tightly packed, industry-approved, shock-absorbent material around the
Returns for partial refund/credit:
Every product returned for refund/credit must be accompanied by a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number,
obtained from our Order Entry Group at 1-440-498-2560.

Introduction
Model 05-450 and 05-450-2200 Digital Doorway Monitor (the Product) is
designed to monitor for nuclear radiation. Featuring a wall-mount chassis, the
Product has a four-digit LED display that is readable from 9 m (30 ft) away.
Backlit indicators warn of low radiation alarm (yellow), high radiation alarm (red),
instrument failure (red) and low battery (yellow). A green status light is a positive
indication of instrument operation.
Parameters are protected under a calibration cover. Calibration is easily
accomplished by moving the CAL dipswitch to the right, and using the
pushbuttons to increment or decrement the calibration constant, dead time
correction, and alarm point parameters. Parameters are stored in non-volatile
memory (retained even with power disconnected).
A five-decade logarithmic analog output is provided. A battery backup provides
48 hours of additional use after the primary power is removed.
Note
The detector does not contain any consumable materials.
Note
If the detector is used in a manner not intended by the manufacturer,
the detector may not function properly.
The Product has two scintillation detectors, each with internal lead shield to
reduce background radiation. Detectors may be supplied with or without
environmental enclosures. The scintillation detectors detect low levels of waste
radiation. These detectors are usually, but not always, used in scrap yards or
hospitals. Lead shields around the crystal allows specific coverage areas for
radiation detection. Figure shows the Product.
