GAMMA-SCOUT® Alert geiger counter

Item number: I 626

Price: EUR 399.00

Radiation Detector with Alert and ticker

GAMMA-SCOUT meaures and logs radioactivity ongoing. Results can be displayed as micro-Sievert or as counts. By means of a aperture system the separate measurement of alpha, beta and gamma radiation is possible.

Additionally to basic version: Threshold for Dose Rate:
This model features an acoustic alert when radiation level exceeds a user programmed threshold..
Threshold for (cumulative) Dose:
GAMMA-SCOUT® w/ALERT offers an acoustic alarm when a user programmed threshold for the cumulative dose is exceeded.
Ticker:
The user can set an acoustical ticker which activates with each gamma pulse detected.
To save battery resources, the signal shuts down after ten minutes and must be restarted.
On devices with rechargeable batteries, the ticker will not shut down.

Following functions are the same as for the basic version Certification

Compliant with European CE standard and US standard FCC-15. May be carried in aircrafts

Large range of calibration

In measuring mode, the display shows the current radiation measurement reading. The display also temporarily shows the average H of the last day (24h, 12 am to 12 am).

Large scale

GAMMA-SCOUT® is calibrated across a wide scale (0.01 up to1000.00 µSv/h).

Tested Calibration

Each GAMMA-SCOUT® radiation meter is subjected to a final test. This test is supervised by the German Institute of Radiation Protection; a government controlled university for Applied Technology. The tested device must be in a confidence interval of 5% in comparison to a master. This master is adjusted to a gauged reference Cs-137 emitter.

Reference Isotope Not Equal to Cs-137

The conversion from impulses per time into the dose rate is based on Cs-137. If other isotopes are present, the impulses per time can be directly displayed, and can be converted by using personal charts.

Dose rate and dose

GAMMA-SCOUT® can be used as a dose meter (cumulative radiation).

Change Sievert to Rem

The dose rate may be displayed in Sievert or Rem.

Energy-Saving Permanent Operation

The GAMMA-SCOUT® monitors radiation day and night and logs data for later download. Due to sophisticated electronics, its battery lasts for years.

Data Storage:

GAMMA-SCOUT® stores all registered pulses in its internal memory and keeps them ready for you to use when desired. 32,000 Readings: For constant monitoring of the environmental data, the interval of data storage is set on a value of one per week. This equals 600 years of memory capacity. The user can set up smaller intervals, which maxes out the memory capacity sooner. To clear the memory content, see the manual.
