DEF

A mercury vapour analyzer which is used to measure the mercury level in the air.

CONT

Health & Safety has a Jerome mercury detector that will be used to check the mercury vapor concentration.... Compact high intensity mercury(HIM) tubes may release significant amounts of mercury vapors if they break while being used inside electronic equipment. If a HIM tubes breaks while in use, evacuate the laboratory and contact Health & Safety to monitor mercury vapor concentration inside the room with the Jerome mercury detector.

CONT

What is the component need to check the focal range of the eyepiece assembly? a. collimation bridge; b. [good answer :] diopter scope; c. detector probe.

CONT

Collimation and Diopter Scope - Binocular alignment of the NVD is performed with the Collimation Bridge. Eye Piece diopter range can be verified with the calibrated, full range Diopter Scope. (Optional). ... Diopter Scope: Graduated -6 to +2 diopter scale.

CONT

The focus adjustment range or Diopter Adjustment Range of the weapon sight eyepiece is checked using the optional diopter scope and an adapter that is specific to the weapon sight eyepiece configuration. The diopter scope, ANV-126-040, is calibrated in whole diopter steps from +2 to -6 diopters, and is accurately calibrated at zero diopters. The eyepiece adapter is used in common with the gain test probe.

CONT

In RINGER state, a(square-wave) ringer melody will be produced. The ringer melody has to be supplied to the ringer output stage... The ringer part contains the ringer detector, also named ringer discriminator, and melody generator. A ringer melody with 3 tones in sequence will be generated after detection and validation of the ringer signal... In parallel with resistor options read cycle and memory integrity check, the ringer detector checks the validation of the ringer signal conforming the ringer specification before a ringer melody will be generated. This is to detect a valid ringer signal as soon as possible.

Menu: réglage des mélodies d'appel. Pour chaque type d'appel (interne, externe), vous pouvez définir une mélodie différente. De plus, vous pouvez (indépendamment l'un de l'autre) choisir si les appels doivent être signalés par le biais de la mélodie d'appel, du vibreur (accessoire) et/ou dans le microcasque (accessoire). La signalisation des appels avec la DEL est indépendante de ces paramètrages.

CONT

In thermal conductivity analysers, a Wheatstone Bridge Circuit measures the imbalance caused by passing gas over detector filaments, using half of the cells for the fumigant air mixture and the other half for air as a control. This analyser, in a portable form, is commonly used to check for methyl bromide in ship holds, but it can also be calibrated for other gases. It will not differentiate between fumigants if mixtures are used.

CONT

Dans ce genre d'appareil, on utilise un circuit à pont de Wheatstone pour mesurer le déséquilibre provoqué par le passage d'un gaz au-dessus des filaments détecteurs. La moitié des cellules sert à l'analyse du mélange fumigant/air; l'autre moitié sert aux mesures témoins avec de l'air uniquement. On utilise couramment des modèles portatifs pour mesurer les concentrations de bromure de méthyle dans les cales de navire, mais on peut aussi étalonner les analyseurs en fonction d'autres gaz. En pratique, les analyseurs à conductivité thermique conviennent mal pour l'analyse de mélanges de fumigants.
