3.Inteace using all of Chinese,Traditional Chinese and English.
4.Graphic LCD with adequately big screen.
5.Optional alarm modes including sound/vibration.
3.Technological Parameters
1.Radiation Detection: X, gamma and hard betarays
2.Detector: energy compensation GM tube(Geiger counter tube)
3.Normal content standard within 0.5μs V/h
4.Measurement range Dose equivalent rate: 0.00-1000uSV/h(maximum 10mSv/h)
5. Energy range: 48 ke V-1.5 MeV ≤±30% (for137Cs-)
6.Sensitivity: 80 CPM /μSw/h(for Co-60)
7. Measurement display: the dose rate display will update eve second and the protect alarm display is shoer than 5 seconds.
8.Operating environment: temperature -10℃ ~+45℃. Relative humility:≤95%(+45℃)
9.Dimensions:143×77×28mm
4. General Operation Method
1.Staup Prepare 2 AA batteries; Since with batteries installed, press and hold 【O】button for 3seconds and the instrument will sta up. TheLCD display is as the following gure:
1)Shutdown Press and hold 【O】 button for 3 seconds, and the instrument will shut down.
2)Measurement The instrument will be in measurement mode since staup. There are two measurement values: one is dose rate with units of μSv/h,uGy/h, mR/h, cps and cpm;the other one is accumulated dose,which is the accumulative value of dose rate for some time, with units of μSv or mSv. The instrument will ring an alarm as the preset alarm mode when a type of value exceeds the set alarm threshold.
3)Refresh: Press the 【O】 key to resta the device for testing.
4)Alarm settings: audible alarm, vibration alarm
5)Instructions for LCD Display Data This information displayed on this instrument is as follows:
5. Parameter setting
The parameters that can be modied by the user include: system time, system information, automatic shutdown, and language setting. The corresponding parameters can be modied through the keyboard.
