Niton XLp 300, 9/24/2004, ed. 1 <br /> Performance Characteristic Sheet <br /> EFFECTIVE DATE: September 24,2004 EDITION NO.:1 <br /> MANUFACTURER AND MODEL: <br /> Make: Niton LLC <br /> Tested Model: XLp 300 <br /> Source: 109Cd <br /> Note: This PCS is also applicable to the equivalent model variations indicated <br /> below,for the Lead-in-Paint K+L variable reading time mode, in the XLi and <br /> XLp series: <br /> XLi 300A,XLi 301A,XLi 302A and XLi 303A. <br /> XLp 300A,XLp 301A,XLp 302A and XLp 303A. <br /> XLi 700A,XLi 701A,XLi 702A and XLi 703A. <br /> XLp 700A,XLp 701A,XLp 702A,and XLp 703A. <br /> Note: The XLi and XLp versions refer to the shape of the handle part of the instrument. The <br /> differences in the model numbers reflect other modes available, in addition to Lead-in- <br /> Paint modes. The manufacturer states that specifications for these instruments are <br /> identical for the source, detector, and detector electronics relative to the Lead-in-Paint <br /> mode. <br /> FIELD OPERATION GUIDANCE <br /> OPERATING PARAMETERS: <br /> Lead-in-Paint K+L variable reading time mode, <br /> XRF CALIBRATION CHECK LIMITS: <br /> 0.8 to 1.2 mg/cm2(inclusive) <br /> The calibration of the XRF instrument should be checked using the paint film nearest 1.0 mg/cm2 in the NIST <br /> Standard Reference Material(SRM)used (e.g.,for NIST SRM 2579,use the 1.02 mg/cm2 film). <br /> If readings are outside the acceptable calibration check range,follow the manufacturer's instructions to bring <br /> the instruments into control before XRF testing proceeds. <br /> SUBSTRATE CORRECTION: <br /> For XRF results using Lead-in-Paint K+L variable reading time mode,substrate correction is not needed for: <br /> Brick, Concrete, Drywall, Metal, Plaster,and Wood <br /> INCONCLUSIVE RANGE OR THRESHOLD: <br /> K+L MODE SUBSTRATE THRESHOLD <br /> READING DESCRIPTION (mg/cm2) <br /> Results not corrected for substrate bias on any Brick 1.0 <br /> substrate Concrete 1.0 <br /> Drywall 1.0 <br /> Metal 1.0 <br /> Plaster 1.0 <br /> Wood 1.0 <br /> 1 of 3 <br />
