Features of GAMMA-SCOUT
®
Products
•
Easy Reading:
One push of a button is enough to start radiation measurement.
•
Large Scale:
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
is calibrated across a wide scale (0.01 up to 50.00 µSv/h).
•
Not linear conversion of pulses to rate:
Dose rate (µSv/h) from pulse rate is a non linear relation.
Instead of an approximation by a constant factor the conversion of the data is realized with a
non linear calculation within GAMMA-SCOUT
®
.
•
Tested Precision:
Each GAMMA-SCOUT
®
radiation meter is subjected to a fi nal test supervised
by the institute of radiation protection of a government controlled university of applied technology.
•
Dose Rate and Dose:
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
can be used as an (cumulative) dose meter as well.
•
Change of Sievert to Rem:
The dose rate may be displayed in Sievert or Rem.
•
Permanent Operation:
The GAMMA-SCOUT
®
is monitoring the radiation day and night and is log-
ging the data for later download. Due to sophisticated electronics, the battery is lasting for years.
•
Data Storage:
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
stores all registered pulses in its internal memory, and keeps
them ready for you to use when desired.
•
Certification:
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
has been tested by TÜV (German Technical Control Board) for
device safety. It meets all European CE standards as well as the “FCC 15 standard” of the USA.
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
may be carried on aircraft.
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
w/ALERT
•
Threshold for Dose Rate:
This model features an audible alert when radiation level exceeds a user
programmed threshold.
•
Threshold for (cumulative) Dose:
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
w/ALERT can give an acoustic alarm, when a
user programmed threshold for the cumulative dose is exceeded.
•
Ticker:
The user can set on an acoustic ticker, beeping with each gamma pulse detected
(increasing to a cascade in case of growing radiation).

Cyclical Data Transmission:
This model has been designed for transmitting data cyclically.
