Gamma-Scout Alert
The Gamma-Scout hand-held radiation detector or geiger counter is a general purpose survey meter for measuring and detecting ionizing radiation. It can detect alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray radiation. The Gamma-Scout radiation detector can be used to:
1. Determine the source of radiation leakages
2. Monitor ambient radiation anomalies
3. Monitor personal cumulative dose exposure
4. Detect radioactive elements in metal scrap
5. Check rocks from the earth for radioactivity
6. Teach or learn about radioactivity
7. The Alert model also features an audible click in the presence of radiation. You can also set a radiation threshold to sound an alert.
Threshold for Dose Rate
This model features an acoustic alert when radiation level exceeds a user programmed threshold.
Ticker
The user can set an acoustical ticker which activates with each gamma pulse detected.
Easy Reading
In measuring mode ( button), the display shows the current radiation measurement reading every 2 sec. The display also temporarily shows the average H of the last day (24h, 12 am to 12 am).
Energy-Saving Constant Operation
The GAMMA-SCOUT monitors radiation day and night and logs data for later download. The "RECHARGEABLE" model works with a rechargeable battery. When the GAMMA-SCOUT is connected to a PC, the device is powered via the USB port. This protects and charges the akku.
Measures a-rays
Thanks to its LND sensor, Gamma-Scout measures a-rays in addition to - und ?-rays.
Large Scale
GAMMA-SCOUT is calibrated to measure across a wide scale (0.1 up to 1,000 Sv/h).
Tested Calibration:
Each GAMMA-SCOUT radiation meter is subjected to a final test. This test is supervised by the Institute of Radiation Protection; a state university for applied technology. The tested device must be within a confidence interval of 5% against a master, which in turn, is adjusted to a gauged reference Cs 137 emitter and the ODL.
Dose Rate and Dose:
GAMMA-SCOUT can be used as a dose meter (cumulative radiation).
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, storage of environmental data is set at an interval of one value all 2 hours, which equates to 7 years of memory capacity. The user can set smaller intervals, which fills the memory capacity sooner.
Data Read-Out via Microsoft WINDOWS
The measured values can be read on Microsoft Windows (WIN 7 up to WIN 10)
Data Read-Out via MAC OS X
The measured values can be read on MAC OS X
Flexible Display
The dose rate may be displayed in Sievert or Rem.
Allowed on flights:
GAMMA-SCOUT(R) may be carried on board of airplanes.
Certification:
GAMMA-SCOUT(R) meets also the American "FCC 15 Standard".
Source isotope not equal to CS 137
The conversion of pulses per time into dose rate starts from the Cs 137. In the case that other isotopes are present, you can directly display the pulses per time and convert them to their own tables.
