The radioactivity detector RADEX RD1008 (hereinafter – the product) is designed to
detect the presence of ionizing radiation and estimate the values of the ambient dose
equivalent, the ambient equivalent of photon (gamma and X-ray) ionizing radiation dose
rate and the flux density of beta particles.
The product can be used for estimating the radiation level on the ground and in the
residences, for estimating the contamination of products, objects, money, materials, food
and others with the sources of gamma - and beta - radiation.
The product has the following features:
¾ simultaneous evaluation of the ambient dose equivalent of the photon ionizing ra-
diation and the flux density of beta-particles;
¾ evaluation of the ambient dose equivalent values for the two users;
¾ the continuous estimation with the result adjustment;
¾ fast, automatic restart after a sudden change in dose or radiation flux density;
¾ display message of the received background values;
¾ display message of the measured dose rate or flux density excess above the
background values;
¾ time of measuring is reduced as the dose rate increases;
¾ increasing the number of measurement cycles leads to an increase in data
precision;
¾ change the alarm threshold for gamma- and beta- radiation;
¾ measuring gamma-radiation dose with registration of measurement time;
¾ in the alarm a sound or a vibra-call signal is used;
Application conditions: the ambient temperature from minus 20 to +50°C and relative
humidity of 80% at +25°C.
Results obtained using this product can not be used for official conclusions about the
radiological situation and the extent of contamination.
