DMC 2000TD OPERATORS MANUAL
1 Introduction
This manual provides operation and operator’s maintenance information for the Radiation Safety &
Control Services Inc. (RSCS) DMC 2000S Training Device (DMC 2000TD). The DMC 2000TD is a fully
functioning simulated replica of the Mirion Technologies (MGP Instruments) DMC 2000S Electronic
Dosimeter. The manual provides both instruction for the DMC 2000TD and the Simulation Control
Center (SCC) software used to wirelessly control the DMC 2000TD. It is meant for the trainer’s reference
and should not be used in place of the standard DMC 2000 manual. It is strongly suggested that both the
trainer and trainee fully familiarize themselves with the standard DMC 2000 manual before reading this
manual.
1.1 Brief Description of RSCS Simulation System Architecture
The most basic level of the simulation system developed by RSCS Inc. consists of the Simulation Control
Center (SCC) software, operating on a tablet with a USB Dongle installed, and at least one simulated
training device. The SCC software and training device communicate with each other wirelessly over a
proprietary IEEE 802.15.4 network through the USB Dongle. This communication allows a training
instructor to remotely control simulated gamma radiation levels as observed by a trainee operating the
connected device.
The simulation system provides for the interoperability of multiple control devices and training devices
to be used in close proximity. Any SCC software application is capable of controlling one or more training
instruments. This flexibility allows one or more instructors to instruct multiple students using different
training instruments simultaneously. Once a device has been connected to a specific control device it
may no longer be seen by or connected to another SCC application even if another is within range, until
the control device has released control.
1.2 Simulation Control Center
The Simulation Control Center (SCC) software application was developed to run on any Windows 8.1TM
tablet or computer. Combined with the provided USB Dongle the SCC allows a training instructor to
remotely observe and send commands to multiple DMC 2000TDs simultaneously. In addition to
remotely controlling simulators SCC allows the user to configure specific device settings and update
device firmware.
1.3 DMC 2000S Training Device
The DMC 2000S Training Device (DMC 2000TD) is a fully functioning simulated DMC 2000S personal
electronic dosimeter that is capable of simulating almost all of the major features and functions of the
standard DMC 2000S. It may be configured by the user to match almost any configuration used in the
standard DMC 2000S.
1.4 Items Supplied
The DMC 2000TD may be supplied individually for use with existing Windows 8.1TM computers or
Tablets, or with a preconfigured tablet. If the DMC 2000TD is supplied without a Windows 8.1TM tablet,
the user must download the SCC application from the Windows App StoreTM. In addition to the SCC
application the system requires the use of an RSCS, Inc. supplied USB Dongle for communication
purposes.

1.6 Preparation for Use/Getting Started
The following section describes the general process for setting up the DMC 2000TD for use. For specific
instructions on preparing the SCC application for use see section 2.2.3.
1.6.1 Setting Up
The initial set up process for the DMC 2000TD is very simple and almost exactly the same as that used
for the standard DMC 2000S. Setting up is primarily composed of:
• Unpacking the DMC 2000TD
• Inserting the battery (if not already installed)
• Checking the initialization sequence
• Checking the default settings
Unpacking the DMC 2000TD
There are no special unpacking instructions. Depending upon customer requirements the DMC 2000TD
may, or may not be shipped with a battery and/or clip assembly. The battery, if supplied will be a 3 V
CR2450 Lithium battery.
The DMC 2000TD Battery
WARNING
Keep away from small children. Do not swallow. Not rechargeable. Do not throw in fire.
General Instructions and Precautions
Always use new undamaged batteries of the correct type.
Inserting/Replacing the DMC 2000TD Battery
The DMC 2000TD is supplied with the standard Mirion Technologies (MGPI) battery cover. Therefore,
the same battery installation/removal procedure as the standard DMC 2000S should be used.
1. Read and observe the General Precautions and instructions at the beginning of this section. If
necessary remove the battery cap from the case as described in steps 2 through 8 below.
2. Switch the DMC 2000TD to *Off*.
3. Remove the DMC 2000TD clip if attached.
4. Using a standard DMC 2000S battery key (or if unavailable, using a screwdriver), unscrew
(counterclockwise) the battery cover.
5. Take Off the battery cover and remove the battery.
Note: Due to the presence of a capacitor to maintain power during battery removal, the DMC 2000TD
LCD will display *Off* for a period of time even after battery removal. Once the capacitor has dissipated,
the LCD will clear.
6. Take a piece of cotton cloth to handle the battery, in order to avoid the superficial oxidation of
the housing stainless steel or the cover.
7. Insert a new battery in the housing (with the “+” side of the battery placed towards the front of
the dosimeter).
Note: Use caution not to over torque the battery cover. Hand tight plus ¼ turn is recommended.

DMC 2000TD OPERATORS MANUAL
Figure 2 External View with Battery Removed
Start-up Sequence
Due to the constraints of simulation, the DMC 2000TD has a modified version of the DMC 2000’s
“Pause” Mode. After battery replacement, the DMC 2000TD will display “*Off*” instead of the DMC
2000’s “Pause”.
Initial Battery Insertion or the “Off” State
When a battery is inserted into the DMC 2000TD for the first time or when the unit is in the powered
down state, indicated by “*Off*” on the LCD, insertion of a new battery will not be indicated in a
manner other than the LCD displaying or continuing to display “*Off*”.
Battery Changes in the “On” State
When changing the battery while the DMC 2000TD is in the “On” state, upon loss of battery contact, the
DMC 2000TD will activate the “batlo” alarm until a battery regains contact or the capacitor dissipates
completely. Once the battery is replaced, the DMC 2000TD will display “*Off*” and no longer be in “On”
state.
Wearing a DMC 2000TD
The DMC 2000TD should be worn in the same manner as the standard DMC 2000S to ensure proper
training. For most operating conditions, it is recommended that the DMC 2000TD be worn on the
outside of any protective clothing (see Figure 3). Note that the button should be facing outwards.
REVISION 0 6
DMC 2000TD OPERATORS MANUAL
Similar to the standard DMC 2000S, wearing the DMC 2000TD outside of protective clothing offers the
advantage of allowing the user to read the DMC 2000TD’s LCD display and operate the button as
required. Typically, the DMC 2000TD should be worn on the chest or the waist. The type of outer
protective clothing will determine how the DMC 2000TD is attached (i.e. the DMC 2000TD clip or a
lanyard). For example, if the protective clothing has no breast pocket (or the use of a belt is prohibited)
the lanyard may be the most practical method of wearing the DMC 2000TD.

1.7 Functional Description and Operating Instructions
The following chapter explains the basic functions performed by the DMC 2000TD and the functions of
the SCC software application when used to control the DMC 2000TD. It also instructs both the trainer
and the trainee in the functions that will allow them to send commands from SCC, display data on
devices, acknowledge alarms and general operation of each device. For basic functions and operations
of SCC, please refer to Chapter 2
The chapter has the following two sections:
• Wireless Network Configuration
• DMC 2000TD Functional Description and Operation
1.7.1 Wireless Network Configuration
This section provides a brief technical overview of the current network configuration used by the SCC
software application and the associated simulators. It explains the two basic options available for
controlling DMC 2000TDs and other simulators remotely using the SCC application. The two basic
options when using the network are:
• Normal Mode
• Group Mode
A basic understanding of these wireless network configurations and the functions of each device within
the network allows an instructor to configure the training methods and scenarios to provide the most
realistic training possible.
Normal Mode
The Normal Mode is the basic means of controlling and interacting with a single training device or
multiple training devices all being controlled individually, or simultaneously, depending upon trainer
preference. It is the default option when searching for and connecting to a device using the SCC. This
mode allows the trainer to continuously adjust the connected device(s) measurement values, activate
simulated alarms and other features, as well as monitor the current status indications being displayed
on the device(s).
Group Mode
Group Mode incorporates all the features of Individual Control Mode while allowing SCC to provide the
same control inputs to different groups of multiple training devices at the same time. This mode allows
the trainer to create groups of devices and provide the same inputs, e.g. dose rate levels, to all the
devices within a group at once. SCC is capable of connecting and controlling up to thirty-two (32)
different devices at one time. This total may be reached in any manner the instructor chooses so long as
the number of controlled units does not exceed thirty-two (32).
1.8 DMC 2000TD Functional Description and Operation
1.8.1 DMC 2000TD LCD Display
The same custom-designed LCD display as the standard DMC 2000S is used by the DMC 2000TD. This
display provides a visual interface for viewing simulated dose and other simulated DMC data. The DMC
2000TD display is illustrated in Figure 4.

• The indicator light flashes
• The “dose alarm” indicator flashes
• The value of the dose is displayed (9.5 mSv)
Figure 5 DMC 2000TD LCD Display Indication
1.9 Operating Modes
The DMC 2000TD retains the same operating modes as the standard DMC 2000S. The DMC 2000TD can
be used in two different operating modes: the “autonomous” mode and the “Satellite” Mode.
The mode selection can be set using the DMC 2000TD Configurations feature of SCC (see 2.3.2).
1.9.1 Autonomous Mode
In Autonomous mode, the DMC 2000TD is capable of entering and exiting Active Mode without the use
of the SCC application.
1.9.2 Satellite Mode
In Satellite Mode, the DMC 2000TD enters Measurement Mode via the SCC application. All configured
functions are controlled by the SCC application.
1.9.3 DMC 2000TD Function Mode
Regardless of the operating mode, the DMC 2000TD has various function modes.
• Off
• Pause
• Active/Measurement
9 REVISION 0
DMC 2000TD OPERATORS MANUAL
1.9.4 Off Mode
When in this mode, the DMC 2000TD:
• Permanently displays the message “*Off*”.
• Periodically monitors the battery status.
In this mode the DMC 2000TD uses minimal power consumption. No simulation functions or SCC
connections are available in this configuration.
1.9.5 Pause Mode
When in this mode, the DMC 2000TD:
• Periodically monitors the battery status
• Permanently displays the message “Pause” or a personalized message of 6 characters or less if
configured
• Attempts to connect with any available Control Devices (if unconnected)
In this mode the DMC 2000TD simulates all the selected features and functions of a standard DMC
2000S Pause Mode operation. During this state the DMC 2000TD does not accumulate dose and allows
for limited changes initiated from the SCC application. All networking and major functions of the SCC
application are available to the trainer when in Pause Mode.
Note: The personalized message displayed in Pause Mode can be set DMC 2000TDin the SCC Device
Configuration.
1.9.6 Active/Measurement Mode
When in this mode, the DMC 2000TD:
• Communicates with the SCC application for all selected features
• Audible and Visual signals activate when commanded
• Periodically monitors the battery status
• Attempts to connect with any available Control Devices (if unconnected)
In this mode the DMC 2000TD simulates all the selected features and functions of a standard DMC
2000S Measurement Mode operation. During this state all functions of the simulator and SCC are
available to the trainer.
1.10 Start-Up
To start up a DMC 2000TD the following procedures must be performed:
• A short press of the DMC 2000TD button to exit “*Off*” mode

Simulated Dose Equivalent Saturation
When the dose equivalent exceeds the value of 999.9999 rem (9999.999 mSv), the display reads as
shown in the figure below.
Figure 10 Simulated Dose Equivalent Saturation Display
This message alternates with the measurement value, to indicate a possible dose underestimation, due
to saturation. These messages warn that the dose measured by the dosimeter may be altered by this
switching to saturation. The DMC 2000TD only simulates this condition and reverts back to normal
operation when the simulated alarm condition has been deactivated via SCC.
Simulated Dose Equivalent Rate Saturation
When the simulated dose equivalent rate exceeds the value 999.9 rem/h (9999 mSv/h) the display
alternates between the two images illustrated in the figure below.

This section describes the maintenance that may be required for the DMC 2000TD. Maintenance is
limited to general cleaning, removing/replacing the DMC 2000TD battery and removing/replacing the
DMC 2000TD clip assembly. Limited maintenance may also be carried out to check the functionality of
the DMC 2000TD.
1.15.1 The DMC 2000TD Battery
If the DMC 2000TD is to be stored for a prolonged period of time the DMC 2000TD battery should be
removed. There is no recommended maximum battery installation period. If there is any uncertainty of
when the DMC 2000TD will be used next the battery should be removed for storage.
1.15.2 Replacement Batteries
Replacement batteries must be suitable for installation into the DMC 2000TD. On no account must
excessive force be used to insert the battery into its compartment. The following are recommended
replacement batteries:
Renata - LiMnO2 / 3V/ CR 2450
Detailed procedures for inserting/replacing the DMC 2000TD battery are given in Section 1.15.1.
1.15.3 Cleaning
The DMC 2000TD is a sealed unit and has protection against dust and low pressure jets of water from all
directions. The unit will not withstand prolonged immersion under pressure. Cleaning should be carried
out if the unit requires general cleaning or if the DMC 2000TD battery has leaked.
1.15.4 General Cleaning
The unit should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Use a neutral water-based detergent, other detergents
may damage or attack the DMC 2000TD outer plastic coating. A small brush should be used to clean any
crevices in the case. After cleaning dry the DMC 2000TD with a soft cloth. During cleaning, water may
enter the alarm sounder aperture. The sounder aperture is watertight, although water ingress may
deaden the alarm. Any water should be shaken or blown out of the sounder aperture to restore the
alarm noise level.
1.15.5 Cleaning after a Battery Leakage
Any leakage of the DMC 2000TD battery must be treated with extreme caution. In most instances
battery leakage will be confined within the DMC 2000TD battery compartment. Minor leakage (light
smearing) may be removed with a cotton swab moistened with a water-based detergent. However, if
doubt exists as to the extent of the leakage the DMC 2000TD should be considered as unusable and
RSCS should be contacted for advice.
1.15.6 Periodic Cleaning
The DMC 2000TD should be cleaned by wiping it over periodically with a cloth lightly dampened with a
solution of water and up to 5% of a neutral water-based detergent.

2 Simulation Control Center
2.1 Introduction
The Simulation Control Center (SCC) is an application written and designed for use with Windows 8.1TM.
SCC can be installed on any Windows 8.1TM Tablet and downloaded for free, directly from the Windows
Store. SCC allows a training instructor to remotely send commands wirelessly to a variety of simulated
radiation detection instruments. This section focuses on the use of SCC with the DMC 2000TD. SCC is
designed for touchscreen use with an intuitive layout for quick and easy control of one or multiple DMC
2000TDs. The Simulation Control Center (SCC) utilizes a USB Dongle containing an IEEE 802.15.4 wireless
module that allows for the individual control of up to thirty-two (32) devices connected at one time.
2.2 Functional Description
2.2.1 General
The Simulation Control Center (SCC) application provides the user a means of wirelessly controlling the
features and functions of a connected DMC 2000TD. The SCC application runs on any Windows 8.1TM
Tablet and communicates wirelessly via a USB Dongle inserted in the Tablet. SCC provides the user with
vital information about any currently connected DMC 2000TDs. It also provides the user a means of
navigating between Training, Control, and Configuration of DMC 2000TDs.
2.2.2 Hub Page
The Hub Page (Figure 50) is the basic interaction point between SCC and DMC 2000TDs awaiting control
or configuration. The Hub Page consists of two main Sections; Training and Device Configuration.
Training allows the user to directly connect with DMC 2000TDs and simulate almost all functions of a
real DMC 2000S dosimeter. Device Configuration allows the user access to the various configurable
options of the DMC 2000TD, similar to Mirion Technologies DosiMass or DMC User software.
Figure 50 SCC Hub Page
2.2.3 Preparations for Use
The Simulation Control Center (SCC) application runs on any Windows 8.1TM Device. SCC comes
preinstalled on the specific Windows 8.1TM Device purchased. Ensure the USB Dongle is installed in the
USB port of the Windows 8.1TM Device.

Changing Simulated Dose Rates
One of the main functions of the DMC 2000TD is the ability to simulate dose equivalent rates. This
allows an instructor to train individuals about safe work practices in ever changing environments. The
DMC 2000TD receives a simulated dose rate from the SCC application and remains at that dose rate until
a new command is sent from SCC adjusting the dose rate or Function Mode.
Three (3) options are available for controlling the simulated dose rate of the DMC 2000TD(s); Presets,
Direct Number Input, and a Slide Scale. Refer to “Dose Rate Control Options”.
To change the simulated dose rate of a DMC 2000TD;
1. Ensure the DMC 2000TD(s) is in Active Mode.

DMC 2000TD OPERATORS MANUAL
6. Returning the simulated dose rate value to zero (0) will stop the DMC 2000TD from continuing
to accumulate dose.
Alarms
During Configuration (see section 2.3.2) each DMC 2000TD is setup with alarm thresholds for the
following categories; Dose Alarm, Dose Rate Alarm, and Time Alarm (if desired). Each of these alarms
has unique characteristics that will trigger the alarm.
Refer to section 1.12 for details on how a DMC 2000TD Hardware Alarm is displayed and the sound
characteristics associated with the alarms on the DMC 2000TD.
Dose Alarm
A Dose Alarm is triggered when a DMC 2000TD has accumulated enough simulated dose to exceed the
preconfigured threshold.
1. Dose Equivalent Pre-Alarm (Warning)
If properly configured, the DMC 2000TD will have a Dose Alarm that acts as a warning to a true Dose
Alarm. With a simple Selector Button push on the DMC 2000TD, the warning alarm will be silenced
however the light will still flash and a warning symbol is shown on the display.
SCC displays a Dose Pre-Alarm warning as a yellow dot next to the Dose Alarm Threshold of the DMC
2000TD Tile.
REVISION 0 68
DMC 2000TD OPERATORS MANUAL
2. Dose Equivalent Alarm
The DMC 2000TD will have a Dose Alarm when the accumulated dose exceeds the preconfigured
threshold. This alarm cannot be silenced and will only end when the DMC 2000TD Function Mode is
switched to Pause or Off. Alternatively, using the Zero Dose feature of SCC will end a Dose Alarm (if the
alarm is not set to zero (0)).
SCC displays a Dose Alarm as a red dot next to the Dose Alarm Threshold of the DMC 2000TD Tile.
Note: A combination of Dose and Dose Rate Alarms (and Pre-Alarms) are possible on a DMC 2000TD. In
this scenario, SCC will display a colored dot (depending on alarm type) next to corresponding threshold.

Dose Rate Alarm
1. Dose Equivalent Rate Pre-Alarm (Warning)
If properly configured, the DMC 2000TD will have a Dose Rate Alarm that acts as a warning to a true
Dose Rate Alarm. With a simple Selector Button push on the DMC 2000TD, the warning will be silenced
however a warning symbol will still be displayed. If the dose rate is lowered below the Dose Rate Pre-
Alarm threshold, the warning will end.
SCC displays a Dose Rate Pre-Alarm warning as a yellow dot next to the Dose Rate Alarm Threshold of
the DMC 2000TD Tile.
2. Dose Equivalent Rate Alarm
The DMC 2000TD will have a Dose Rate Alarm when the dose rate exceeds the preconfigured threshold.
This alarm will only end when the dose rate is below the threshold again, or the Function Mode of the
DMC 2000TD is switched to Pause or Off Mode.
Note: If a DMC 2000TD is configured for Rate Alarm Latch, a Rate Alarm will not end when the dose rate
goes below the threshold again.

this scenario, SCC will display a colored dot (depending on alarm type) next to corresponding thresholds.
Time Alarm
If properly configured, a DMC 2000TD can have a Time Duration Alarm or a Time Remaining Alarm.
Neither of these alarms is shown in SCC as they are Hardware Alarms configured directly in the DMC
2000TD and work exactly as a real DMC 2000S Time Alarm.
Simulated Faults and Alarms
Each DMC 2000TD has the ability to simulate eleven (11) Faults or Alarms that a real DMC 2000S could
have in use. These Faults are each described in section 1.13 and work exactly as a real DMC 2000S fault
or alarm.
Each DMC 2000TD is preconfigured with ten (10) of these Alarms that cannot be user configured. The
only configurable alarm is the Low Battery Alarm (see section 2.3.2 Configurations)
71 REVISION 0
DMC 2000TD OPERATORS MANUAL
All eleven (11) simulated alarms are only activated on the Control Page using the App Bar Alarms
feature.
Note: Each DMC 2000TD has the ability to display a Low Battery Alarm (*BaLo*) upon actual low battery
voltage.
Autonomous Mode
Each DMC 2000TD has the ability work in Autonomous Mode like a real DMC 2000S. Autonomous Mode
is set in Configurations (see section 2.3.2) A DMC 2000TD configured for Autonomous Mode will
maintain the same functionality as a DMC 2000TD in Satellite Mode except for the option to control
some Function Modes with the Selector Button.
