Fluke 233 Fluke 233 Application Guide - Page 21

Hospitals "I think this is a brilliant idea! I am in the diagnostic imaging field dealing mainly with ionizing radiation. I normally have to stand behind a lead shield while making exposures and then go look at measurement. I think this would be a valuable asset to my test equipment collection." D.J., Mississippi "The Fluke 233 would be extremely useful in the servicing and adjustment of the many different types of radiationproducing equipment available, such as: radiographic and fluoroscopic x-ray machines, CT scanners, and very high energy linear accelerators. Safety regulations in the U.S. and other countries limit the exposure to radiation of individuals working around radiation-producing equipment. To meet the requirements of the regulations while they are taking measurements on activated equipment, service engineers must either wear heavy lead shielding or actually leave the room when high-energy machines are activated. The Fluke 233 will make the gathering of measurements on radiationproducing equipment easier by eliminating the need to wear lead shields in the case of conventional equipment and the use of long test leads, one-shot peak measurements or CCTV remote viewing of meters for high-energy equipment." G.F., California "I work on Linear Accelerators, a piece of medical equipment used to treat cancer patients with radiation. We accelerate an electron bunch using RF energy to give the electrons more energy and mass. When the electrons are stopped by the tungsten target they strike, we get our radiation. Therefore there are times when trouble shooting that I can not be in the treatment room while running the accelerator. There are several occasions when I have set up my Fluke 289 to record an event or possible event to trouble shoot some problems in various areas of the accelerator. I can see where it may be much quicker to see the event occur on the Fluke 233 for this trouble shooting." B.L., Texas 21
