CD V-715 Civil Defense High-Range Radiation Detection Survey Meter, KI4u lab tested and recently calibrated
Weighs 3.25
pounds, die cast aluminum and drawn steel case, watertight, will
float.
Powered with
one D-sized battery, continuously for 150 hours, longer if on
intermittent basis.
Instrument
accuracy on any of its four ranges is within +- 20% of true dose
rate.
Accuracy
maintained throughout temperature ranges of -20 F to +125 F, relative
humidities to 100% and altitudes up to 25,000.
0.1R/hr and
500R/hr (X0.1, X1, X10, and X100 scales).

This
Civil Defense radiation detector meter is taken through the following
preventative maintenance, tests, and evaluations prior to calibration:
- Confirm integrity of case, meter, and
snap connections
- Confirm that the mandatory retrofit
had been completed on CD V-715's
- Clean battery contacts and battery
terminals, as required
- Confirm good ground connections on
circuit board
- Check screws attaching the circuit
board to the case top
- Visual check of circuit board for
metal foil cracks, cold solder joints, or solder bridges
- Clean circuit board with brush and
solution, heat to dry
- Clean high megaohm resistors, as needed
- Clean high megaohm resistors switch,
as needed
- Check for dirt contamination of the
high impedence feed-thru insulator on ionization chamber, clean if
necessary
- Test ionization chamber for loose
(broken) internal components
- Test ionization chamber for leakage
via Megohm meter, re-coat with clear varnish, if necessary
- Insert battery
- Perform Zero and Circuit Check
operations after two minute warmup at Zero setting
- Check meter needle for free movement
throughout range
- Commence a power-on 16-hour burn-in to
recondition the electrometer tube
- Repeat the Zero and Circuit Check Test
- Perform stability evaluation of the
meter needle throughout all the ranges. The needle should not deflect
more than three of the smallest increments upscale (0.3 on the meter
face) on the "X100", "X10", and "X1" scales and six increments (0.6 on
the meter face) on the "X0.1" scale
- Remove batteries
- Check instrument case top gasket,
apply light coat of D-5 compound to it, if needed
- Place fresh desiccant packet in case
before closing
- Clean outside casing and tag it
Successful
completion of the above procedures has the meter then qualified to
attempt calibration to mid-range of all it's scales.
Successfully
passing the KI4U lab calibration, they are then certified fully ready
for reliable, accurate and confident service in the field.
All
calibration certifications of these Civil Defense survey meters is
accomplished here with the CD V-794 calibrators built specifically for
these type meters. This calibrator utilizes a N.I.S.T. traceable Cs-137
source that tests and calibrates (adjusts) mid-scale for all the
ranges strictly in accordance with industry standards. KI4U, Inc. is
licensed and authorized by the State of Texas to perform these
calibrations at our lab here conforming to the standards as set forth
by the State of Texas, FEMA, ASTM and the NRC.
Successfully
calibrated instruments are returned with the label below affixed to
them certifying their calibration and stating who calibrated it and
when, along with the serial number and model designation.

Additionally,
a Certificate
of Calibration with
the actual before and after accuracy responses for each of the
different ranges available on the instrument is included.
