What is a Radiation meter used for?
Radiation survey meters are designed as primary instruments to accurately measure radiation exposure and to detect radioactive contamination.
The Monitor 200 measures alpha, beta, gamma, and x-rays. Its digital display shows readings in your choice of CPM, CPS, μSv/hr, mR/hr, or in accumulated counts. It has a digital, easy to read backlit display, a red count light, and a beeper that sounds with each count detected. This radiation detector device also includes an adjustable timer and a loud, customizable alert.
With the Free Radiation Alert Observer BLE app from the Google App Store, you can display the readings from your detector, label sample readings and descriptions, take timed counts, append GPS data and send your saved survey file. Alarms set on the instrument will also activate on your Android device.
The Free Observer USB software (Windows® only) reads in Total Counts, CPM, µR/hr, mR/hr, CPS, µSv/hr, and has the ability to collect and log data, set alarms, set timed counts, set the calibration date and settings, and generate reports.
Applications & Uses: Checking accelerator & x-ray shielding for leakage, industrial gauges containing Cesium-137, Locating Sources, Personal protection, General surveying
There are many industries that widely use radiation detector device, like medicine, archaeology, agriculture, mining, etc.
