Hello from Poland (and UK also) :)

I know right.... I was thinking yeah ill put on my soldering hat and go to town... Clicked the link and was like .. My luck I would have created a birds nest and posibly blow up a usb port while im at it

Here are the instructions (link), supposedly you could be electrocuted if you don't do it right... I just got my sensor, so I need to figure out how to do this right.

!! WARNING !!
When device is connected to the USB on the right side of the board - from items marked as R22, R23 to the right there is a voltage ~ 400VDC which may be hazardous to your health and even life!
Do not touch the right half of the board during operation!

Since the voltage converter controller is inserted into its socket and the USB connection is plugged in, you take a full responsibility for possible electric shock and/or other injury.

Keep away from small children and pets!



To run the sensor you need:
- a box into which you put the sensor and the GM tube
- two of about 7-10 cm insulated wires with insulated alligator clips
- screwdriver
- USB cable A <-> B (like to the printer/scanner)

For your safety the sensor is supplied with the voltage converter taken out from its socket.
To run the sensor, you must unscrew the display and take it out. Under the display in a black sponge a controller of the voltage converter is placed. It should be put down in the socket on the right side in such a position, that a small dot (circular depression) located on the chassis of controller found on the right side, bottom (with the letters IC3). Then mount the display back.

Remove the black sponge from goldpin connector.

The next step is to connect the GM tube which is a part of our radiation detection. Two wires (preferably in different colors or with alligator clips in different colors to distinguish them) must be connected to the blue screw connector marked CON3 (and the words of "GM-Tube"). The end of the tube marked '(+)' to be connected to the cable going to the ends also the marked '+', by analogy with the tip of the tube without any indication to the second cable.

Sensor should be placed in the current non-conductive, preferably a transparent box (so you can see the display) so that the GM tube does not touch the board, and the whole does not move freely inside the box.

Connect the USB cable and have in your mind about not touching the right side of the device!

Yes, I am definitely going to mount mine in some type of plastic enclosure.

When the instructions start off with 'WARNING', no need to read any further.

LOL!! oh it's ok, just a minor little shock.

No detectors for Portugal. My radioactive cats are going to miss that detector.

Good ones Duke, you must be up early, nearly 10 PM in Arizona, plus or minus 7 hours puts you 'about' 5 a.m.

[Duke of Buckingham]

Almost 5 now. I don't sleep very well. Never did.

The kitty looks comfortable
