Functions and Features (all models)
Easy Reading: In measuring mode ( button), the display shows the current radiation
measurement reading every 2 sec. The display also temporarily shows the average H of the last
day (24h, 12 am to 12 am).
Large Scale: GAMMA-SCOUT
®
is calibrated to measure across a wide scale
(0.01 up to 5,000.00 µSv/h).
Tested Calibration: Each GAMMA-SCOUT
®
radiation meter is subjected to a nal test. This test is
supervised by the Institute of Radiation Protection; a state university for applied technology.
The tested device must be within a condence interval of 5% against a master, which in turn,
is adjusted to a gauged reference Cs-137 emitter.
Dose Rate and Dose: GAMMA-SCOUT
®
can be used as a dose meter (cumulative radiation).
Flexible display: The dose rate may be displayed in sievert or Rem.
Energy-Saving Constant Operation: The GAMMA-SCOUT
®
monitors radiation day and night and
logs data for later download. Due to sophisticated electronics, its battery lasts for years.
The “RECHARGEABLE” model works with a rechargeable battery.
Data Storage: GAMMA-SCOUT
®
stores all registered pulses in its internal memory and keeps
them ready for you to use when desired. 32,000 readings: For constant monitoring, storage of
environmental data is set at an interval of one value per week, which equates to
600 years of memory capacity. The user can set smaller intervals (page 14), which lls
the memory capacity sooner. See below for deletion options.
Certification: GAMMA-SCOUT
®
meets all European CE standards as well as the
American “FCC 15 standard”. GAMMA-SCOUT
®
may be carried on aircraft.
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
w/ALERT (basic functions plus alert and ticker)
Dose Rate Threshold: This model features an acoustic alert when radiation level exceeds a user
programmed threshold.
Threshold for (cumulative) Dose: GAMMA-SCOUT
®
w/ALERT offers an acoustic alarm when a
user-programmed threshold for cumulative dose is exceeded.
Ticker: The user can set an acoustic ticker which activates with each gamma pulse detected.
To save battery resources, the signal shuts down after ten minutes and must be restarted.
On devices with rechargeable batteries (see GAMMA-SCOUT
®
RECHARGEABLE) the ticker will
not shut down.
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
ONLINE / REAL TIME (with the functions of the ALERT-model)
Used in Measurement Stations: GAMMA-SCOUT
®
sends detected pulses in real time and at specic
time intervals, adjustable within certain limits, via USB port to the connected PC.
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
RECHARGEABLE (with the functions of the ALERT-model)
Rechargeable power supply, charged via USB (power supply unit or PC).
