Ecotester Soeks
Purpose
Ecotester SOEKS is designed for express analysis of fresh fruit,
vegetables and meat for nitrates and for assessing the product radioactivity
level and detecting objects, food or construction materials contaminated with
radioactive elements.
Nitrate content analysis is based on conductivity of alternating
high-frequency current the measured food items.
Ecotester can easily assess the level of radioactivity according to
the power level of ion radiation (gamma radiation and beta particles stream)
with taking into account x-ray radiation.
Base kit
Ecotester SOEKS has the following items included in the base
kit:
Ecotester Soeks 1 pcs
Passport 1 pcs
2 batteries (AAA size) 2 pcs
Rigid paperboard box 1 pcs
Battery charger, power cord, rechargeable batteries and other
accessories and supplies are purchased separately.
A Geiger-Muller counter is used as ion radiation senser in our device.
The manufacturer reserves the right to add new features to the
device. Please follow new code modifications on the official website:
www.soeks.ru. The device’s code can be modified only in the
manufacturer’s service centers.

Precautions
Before using the product, please read carefully the safety
measures below and strictly observe them when using the product. Violation
of these rules may cause malfunction or cause total failure of the product.
The manufacturer’s guarantee shall be void if the safety measures stated
below are violated.
• Protect the product from shock and other mechanical impacts that can
damage it.
• Do not use the product in conditions of high humidity, under or in contact
with water: the product is not waterproof.
• Do not leave the product in places with intensive sun light or high tempera-
tures for a long time, this can cause electrolyte leakage from power elements,
failure of the product, and injuries.
• Do not leave the product for a long time near devices that generate strong
magnetic fields, such as magnets or electric motors, and where strong
electrical magnetic signals are generated, such as transmitter towers.
• Do not perform measurements close to cell phones and microwaves, this
may affect the instrument’s readings.
• Do not disassemble and do not try to repair the device on your own.
• Do not connect the device to a PC or socket while it has regular batteries
installed.
• Strictly observe polarity when you install power elements, otherwise the
device may overheat and fail.

Power
At the back side of the device there is the cover of the battery
section. AAA type batteries or accumulators can be used to power the device.
The bottom of the battery section shows the manufacturer’s trademark -
SOEKS - and board model.
The front side of the device has a mini-USB port that can be used
to recharge batteries from a computer via a USB-mini-USB cable or from the
power mains. If connected to a PC or electric mains, the device can work
without power elements.
How to install power elements
• Strictly observe polarity when you install power elements, otherwise the
device may fail.
• The type of power elements installed must match the parameters preset in
the ‘Power’ menu item (page 38).
• When the device is turned off, you can leave the power elements installed –
the batteries and accumulators are not spent if the device is in standby mode.
• If you expect not to use the device for a long time, it is recommended to
remove the power elements after the device is turned off.

exceeds the screen.
- the list exceeds the bottom limit
of the screen
- the list exceeds the top limit of
the screen
- the list exceeds both the top and
bottom limits of the screen
2. Diagram
Shows radioactivity during the previous
minute. The diagram keeps moving from
right to left, and the bar height shows the

A screen with the following elements appears in the measure mode:
9. Units: mcR/h or mcSv/h
10. Level in preset units
11. Indicator of measured results: filled up within 10 sec. If the background
radiation is high the result may be available much sooner.
12. Radiation level. Shown as large digits in the screen center. The first
measurement also shows the word «MEASURING»
13. The message about radiation bagkground:
- if the measured background radiation is less than 40 mcR/h, a «NORMAL
RADIATION BACKGROUND» indication appears on a green background.
- if measured background radiation is 40-120 mcR/h, caption «HIGH
RADIATION BACKGROUND» appears on a yellow background.
- if the measured background radiation is greater than 120 mcR/h, caption
«DANGEROUS RADIATION BACKGROUND» appears on a red
background.
