Surface Contamination Meter
The RDS-80 Surface Contamination Meter is a versatile
contamination detector which has been designed for a
wide range of applications in
di erent elds of radiation protection in nuclear indus-
try, rescue and other operations, involving a possibility
for abnormal contamination levels.
The Digital, Hand Held Pulse Rate Meter is suitable for
personnel who need to locate and
detect contaminated surfaces/objects during their
work.
FEATURES
• wide measurement range: up to 100 000 cps or 1 000 000
• standard surface contamination measurements in cps or
• contamination measurements with histogram function
• visual and audible alarms
• handy and easy- to- use design
• software for parameter setting, histogram readings and

nuclide calibration
The functions comprise contamination measurements
with alarm functions and automatic
conversion to surface activity value and additionally
surface contamination measurement with a
possibility to store the histogram events into the
meter´s internal memory
The use of con guration software (CSW) is
required for downloading the data into a PC via IrDA
port.
