RDS-30
Radiation Survey Meter
The RDS-30 is a Digital Handheld Dose Rate
Meter designed for or a wide range of
applications involving a possibility for
abnormal radiation levels. Compact, lightweight,
waterproof, its performance and its friendly user
interface make the RDS-30 perfectly suited to
radiation survey in eld conditions, in nuclear
industry and for protection against radiological
hazards by personnel, who may be exposed to
gamma and/or X-ray radiation in their work.
FEATURES
• measurement and displays in μSv/h or mrem/h
• dose measurement indication
• high battery life time (>1 year)
• compliant to IEC 60846
• dose rate follow-up by audible signal with frequency
proportional to dose rate
• visual and audible alarm: user settable for dose and
dose rate over the whole measurement range
• histogram capability of up to 480 dose rate
values with user settable logging interval
• backlit display with six large digits
• display in either μSv/h or in mrem/h
• built-in self diagnostics
Complies with ANSI N42.33 and IEC 60846 standards
RDS-30 is microprocessor controlled. The user
interface consists of one push button and an easy-
to-use menu structure that displays
information on the LCD of the meter. The six-digit
display shows the dose rate and various messages.
Di erent alarm situations are indicated by a
combination of audio-visual e ects on the LCD and
a buzzer (dose rate , dose, low battery, defect, dose
rate over ow).
RDS-30 provides user con gurable ( with SW) list of
sequential alarm levels for dose rate. One dose rate
at a time can be chosen from this. It is possible to
store dose rate values into the histogram memory
for later analysis of the instrument.
The use of a CSW software is required for
downloading the data into a PC via IrDA port.
