EDIS-1
Environmental Direct Ion Storage Dosimeter
The new RADOS EDIS-1 is an Environmen-
tal Direct Ion Storage Dosimeter o ering an
alternative to TLD or  lm dosimeter.
The EDIS-1 dosimeter is based on an ionisation
chamber combined with a modern electronic
Direct Ion Storage (DIS) memory cell. The Ion
chamber is widely used as a reference detec-
tor in radiation detection and is now available in
everyday dosimetry applications. The EDIS-1
dosimeter can be read in nitely and non-
destructively without any loss of dose informa-
tion. This unique feature allows the user of the
EDIS-1 to instantly read environmental doses
whenever necessary.
The radiological range of the EDIS-1 covers the
entire H*(10) photon energies without any com-
promises. The wide dose and energy range, the
ability to operate in pulsed  elds and the perfor-
mance at high dose rates make EDIS-1 an ideal
device for all kinds of radiation dosimetry appli-
cations. The EDIS-1 allows for the detection of
heavy, high-energy ions and its immunity to any
external interference is unequalled. There are no
deviations in the dose readings even at very high
EM or RF  elds.
The excellent radiological features and the easy
and fast reading of the EDIS-1 dosimeter makes
the new DIS based RADOS dosimetry system
superior to any Film dosimetry or TLD system
without the need for complicated processing
systems.

The DBR-1 and DBR-2 Readers are designed to read EDIS-1 Dosimeters assembled in the DDH-E Snap-in Dosimeter Holders. To ob­tain the most recent dose value, the user simply plugs the dosimeter into the reader and the dose values are diplayed in a few seconds.
