Connection pad Attachment screws Wearing and Battery Guidelines Technical information The BLE 3000 Module is mounted on a DMC 3000 to expand the DMC 3000s measurement capabilities to Bluetooth features. This users guide is to be used along with the DMC 3000 Users Guide (n151153EN). l a r e n e G
2 2.1 Use and Functionality The BLE 3000 module is part of the accessory range of Mirion Technologies DMC 3000 electronic dosimeter. When attached to the DMC 3000, the BLE 3000 module adds the following features:
Bluetooth functions, Amplification of visual alarms, Alarm report to an external accessory (wristband, smartwatch...). The BLE 3000 module physically integrates into the dosimeter's case. 2.1.1 DMC 3000 The DMC 3000 must be equipped with the 26-pin connector (PN: 00153458) prior to the attachment of the BLE 3000 module. For the BLE 3000 module to work correctly, it must be paired with a DMC 3000 using firmware V.7.8 or greater. If the dosimeter displays a star at the bottom of its screen, firmware version is earlier than V.7.8 and is not suitable. Otherwise, check firmware version by pressing the "+" button to display firmware version. If firmware version is not visible, use DMCUser revision 1.11 or greater. Please contact Mirion Technologies for compatibility diagnosis and information.

The DMC 3000 must be set to accept the BLE 3000 module (configurable in the Parameters tab of DMCUser, see 2.7). l a r e n e G

2.2 Settings The BLE 3000 module contains all the proper functional settings parameters. These parameters are saved in the module on non-volatile memory. 2.3 Bluetooth Functions 2.3.1 Transmission When the dosimeter switches to measurement mode, the BLE 3000 module automatically switches to transmission mode. The BLE 3000 module then periodically transmits the dosimetric data, the normal transmission rate can be set between 2 and 255 seconds. If the dosimeter is in default or in alarm, the transmission frequency is increased. It helps to get a more frequent update of info in case of danger (the minimum transmission interval is of two seconds). 2.3.2 Bluetooth function setup The Bluetooth function of the BLE 3000 module can be set using DMCUser. The following items can be set:
the transmission intervals (normal) the setup of the data to be transmitted. For more details about module setup in DMCUser, please refer to the DMCUser Instruction Manual. Module setup in DMCUser Measurements and events of the BLE 3000 module are automatically stored in the DMC 3000 histogram. 2.4 Historical Data Function 2.5 Handling Recommendations Do no use the dosimeter belt clip when the BLE 3000 module is attached as the opening gap of the clip is significantly reduced. The user must always wear the dosimeter against the body (see the label on the back of the module). Avoid having any foreign content, such as dust, dirt, or labeling between the 26-pin connector board and the BLE 3000 module (no sticker, no dust, no stain, etc.). Make sure the gasket is clean and in good condition. For proper sealing, equal and proper torque should be applied on the two screws (see 4.2). l a r e n e G

2.6 Module Management The Module Management Mode is configurable using DMCUser software. None: any module connection is ignored by the dosimeter. All: DMC 3000 accepts any type of modules. When a module is connected, the dosimeter automatically changes its display configuration and displays the Hp(10) neutron or Hp(0,07) shallow dose depending on the type of module. Hp(0,07) required / Telemetry required / Neutron required / NTx required / eTx required / Bluetooth required: DMC 3000 needs the required module otherwise a default message "WRG MOd" is displayed or
"Mod def" if no module is connected. When a dosimeter is configured in "All" mode and has been equipped with a module, the "Detach Module" command resets the fault message "Mod def" and return to operate without any module. Note that the behavior is the same for battery removal. Note: This command resets the secondary dose of the dosimeter. Note: if the dosimeter is configured in "Neutron required" or "Hp(0,07) required" mode, this command resets the secondary dose but it does not modify dosimeter operation. 3.1 Bluetooth Function Fault and the DMC 3000 During a fault with the telemetry function of the BLE 3000 module, the DMC 3000 will exhibit the following characteristics:
Dosimeter detection will not be affected by the telemetry function failure. Dosimeter will retain all Dose, Max Rate, set points and status bits regardless of module status, failure or connections. Dosimeter Dose and Dose Rate Alarms will take precedence over any telemetry fault messages. 3.2 Fault Diagnosis and Resolution Major Fault: a major fault prevents the dosimeter from going into Run mode Display Causes Solutions
- Module management is incorrect.
- The 26-pin connector is missing or unproperly installed.
- The module was disconnected from the DMC 3000 without first affecting the disconnection via DMCUser.
- It is possible that the dosimeters firmware version does not support the module. Problem of communication between the dosimeter and the NTx module. The dosimeter does not recognize the module. Check the module management (refer to 2.9). Remove the BLE 3000 module and check that the 26-
pin connector is properly installed. Put the DMC 3000 in Pause mode. Check the module connection and the integrity of the connector. Make sure the firmware version of the dosimeter is V.7.8 or greater. Reconnect the module while the DMC 3000 is in Pause mode. If problem persists, contact your Mirion representative. Check the module connection and the integrity of the connector. Verify that the firmware version of the dosi-
meter is V.7.8 or greater. Reconnect the module. If problem persists, contact your Mirion representative. Use DMCUser to change the DMC 3000 configuration, make sure it accepts the BLE 3000 module. See 2.7. s m r a l A

4.1 Removing the dosimeter battery cache Make sure the dosimeter is in PAUSE mode. Unscrew the two screws (2) with the screwdriver provided with your DMC 3000 (1). Rotate the battery cover (3). Remove the battery cover (4). Note :
Due to the presence of voltage on the pins of the 26-pin connector, remove or add new modules when the dosimeter is in Pause mode to avoid shorting the pins. 4.2 Attaching the BLE 3000 module Carefully insert 26-pin connector, ensuring side labeled BATTERY SIDE is inserted closest to the battery (5). Check the cleanliness of the module gasket. Engage the module bottom side first, with the gasket placed inside the bottom of the DMC 3000. Rotate the module (7). Hand tighten the two module screws with the provided screwdriver (1) at 0.25 to 0.35 Nm (8). Ensure the icon is displayed. If it does not, verify the dosimeter is configured to accept the module (see
(6) t n e m h c a t t A e l u d o M 2.2.3 and 2.7).

Pivot the module and detach it from the dosimeter (9). Conduct a software disconnect using the "Detach Module" command of DMCUser software (10), or temporarily remove the dosimeters battery (11). Replace the battery if necessary. Note:
Due to the presence of voltage on the pins of the 26-pin connector, remove or add new modules when the dosimeter is in Pause mode. Avoid shorting the pins. Mirion Technologies recommends full inspections of dosimeters and modules at a minimum of once a year. e 5.1 Maintenance c n a n e t n Functions: check that the DMC 3000 displays Check the auto-test when the DMC 3000 exits standby mode:
. the speaker will chirp once the front flash LED and top LEDs (Red, Green, Blue) will briefly illuminate all display segments will activate the backlight will turn on Check the speaker by activating the dosimeter using a rate pre-alarm set point of 0 mSv/h (0.0 mrem/h). i a M
