DESCRIPTION:  ?

i The model UT-330 is ' designed for use as a residential type smoke detector. This unit is constructed as follows: A one microcurie i L

' (37.0 kBq) Americium-241 foil source (manufactured by either  !

Nuclear-Radiation Developments or Amersham Corporation) is e secured by' crimping to a tin or nickel plated brass holder which l is soldered at the holder base to the circuit board. The source '

and holder are protected by an aluminum ion chamber cover which  !

is secured to the circuit board by tamper resistant screws. The  ;

circuit board and ion chamber are attached by two standard screws '

to a high impact plastic base. Fitted to this base is a slotted l

l high impact' cover with small mesh screen wire insert. This snap-3 on cover protects the electronic and ionization chamber  !

components from impact and sbrasion. [
