General Information
The GammaRAE II Responder is a
rapid γ-ray (gamma) source detector and
dosimeter in a single unit.
Because of
its high sensitivity at low radiation
levels, it can alert rst responders
to the presence of a radiation threat well before they might be exposed to health-threatening levels.
Its high
range and dosimeter functionality also
allow rst responders to accurately
track their dose at higher levels of radiation. It is the only intrinsically safe personal radiation monitor with a loud
audible alarm, big, bright ashing LEDs, and a vibration
alarm. For stealth operations, law enforcement personnel can disable each alarm separately.
GammaRAE II Responder’s water-resistant design makes for reliable operation in wet environments. Its sensitive Cesium
Iodide (CsI) scintillator and energy-compensated PIN diode
provide fast (less than 2 seconds) response to radiological threats.
The GammaRAE II Responder accumulates accurate,
energy-compensated dosage. Stored dosage data can be cumulative or cleared and reset for each use period.

Inserting & Replacing Batteries
GammaRAE II Responder uses two AA alkaline batteries as its power source (use only Duracell MN1500 or Energizer E91). To change the batteries:
1. Use the provided tool to open the cover on the side of the unit. Turn the screw counterclockwise to loosen the screw, and then tilt the cover off.
2. Insert batteries into the compartment according to the legend on the rear of the GammaRAE II Responder, making sure the batteries’ polarity is correct.
3. Replace the cover and turn the screw clockwise to secure the cover.

Press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. As GammaRAE II Responder starts up, the following occur:
1. A long beep sounds (if the buzzer is set to On), and
unit information and the current rmware version are
displayed. The LEDs and vibrator undergo a self-test.

Important! If your GammaRAE II Responder
displays “Gamma sensor failed” or “All sensors failed!” contact your distributor or RAE Systems service at +1-408-952-8200. Do not attempt to use or repair the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts in the GammaRAE II Responder.
2. Unit self-check. The time and battery status are displayed:
During the 20-second self-check, the detector checks that the low gamma sensor (scintillator) is functioning properly. If so, the message “Gamma sensor OK!” is
displayed.
www.raesystems.com

Page 12
If the low gamma sensor is damaged or not functioning
properly, the message “Gamma sensor failed" is displayed, turn the unit off and contact your distributor or the RAE Systems service department.
The high gamma sensor (PIN diode) is also tested
continuously for the rst 30 minutes of operation. If
the high gamma sensor is damaged or not functioning properly, the message "HiGamma sensor failed" is displayed, turn the unit off and contact your distributor or the RAE Systems service department.
3. The datalog type is displayed, followed by the alarm mode. These parameters can be changed in Programming Mode, described later in this guide.

Background calibration reading (Search Mode only). The GammaRAE II Responder performs a 36-second background reading countdown.
When background calibration reading is complete, datalogging starts (if Continuous Datalogging is enabled) and the unit is in Normal Operating Mode. The display looks like this:
Turning GammaRAE II Responder Off
Press the MODE button and hold it for 5 seconds. The detector counts down 5 seconds and then turns itself off. Do not release the MODE button until the unit counts down to zero and the
display reads “Save cong...” and “Stop unit...”

Operation
The GammaRAE II Responder has two modes: Normal Operating Mode and Programming Mode. Normal Operating Mode is the default; see Programming Mode, on page 20, for details on entering and using Programming Mode.
Normal Operating Mode
In Normal Operating Mode, the GammaRAE II Responder detects gamma radiation and accumulates radiation dosage data. In Normal Operating Mode, pressing the MODE button sequentially steps the unit through the following functions:
NORM Normal Operating Mode BGND Background calibration (only in Search Mode) PEAK Maximum radiation level detected since last cleared MIN Minimum radiation level detected since last cleared DOSE Accumulated radiation dosage since last cleared TIME Time, date, and time unit has been on STAT Detector status (battery voltage and internal temp.) COMM Open Bluetooth
®
communication with computer
TEST Self test (if Diagnostic Flag is set during start-up)
Each function remains active for 60 seconds before automatically returning to the Normal Operating Mode. Pressing the MODE button changes the selection from one function to the next one in the sequence.
