Device Degradation and Lifespan

1. Crystal Durability:

  • The device's crystal does not degrade under normal radiation levels.
  • Only at extremely high radiation levels might the spectral characteristics begin to slightly deteriorate.

 

2. Battery Lifespan and Longevity:

  • The lithium battery is considered the device's component with the shortest lifespan.
  • Battery Replacement Service: We offer battery replacement to ensure your device continues to operate at optimal performance.

 

3. Protection of Cesium Iodide Crystal in Models 102 and 103:

  • Models 102 and 103 contain a cesium iodide crystal, which is slightly hygroscopic and soluble in water.
  • Sealed Chamber Design: The crystal is encased in a sealed chamber to protect it from moisture.
  • Water Resistance: This design ensures that even if the device is submerged in water, the crystal remains intact and unaffected.

 

By understanding these aspects of the device's components, users can better maintain their Radiacode devices and ensure longevity and optimal performance.
