An inexpensive pocket-size meter measures all forms
of ionizing radiation: alpha and beta particles, gamma
and x-rays. It is an accurate scientific instrument
useful in research or for measuring radiation hazards
in the lab, plant, or hospital.
Utilizes
industry-standard Geiger-Muller tube, the same as in
more expensive radiation detectors, with a thin mica
end-window.
Calibration
is done at factory by a pulse generator and is typically
±15% of the full scale relative to Cesium 137.
Easily
certified to ANSI standards by a certified lab. Reads
milliRoentgens per hour and counts per minute in three
measuring ranges. The unit is protected by an anti-saturation
circuit up to at least 100 times the maximum reading
in the highest range.
Radiation
counts detected are indicated by deflection of the needle
on the meter scale, as well as by a flashing LED and
an audible beeper; the unit responds to normal background
radiation count.
