RADIATION ALERT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RADIATION ALERT from 3G Electric.
What is the measurement range of the Radiation Alert Monitor 4?
The Radiation Alert Monitor 4 is an analog radiation detector with an operating range of 0 to 5 uSv/hr. It measures in CPM, mR/hr, and uSv/hr. The unit includes a carrying case with belt clip and a NIST calibration certificate. It is suitable for detecting ambient radiation levels and for personal monitoring. The analog display provides a continuous reading without the need for range switching in many applications. For specific energy sensitivity and accuracy specifications, refer to the product datasheet.
Does the Radiation Alert Ranger come with a calibration certificate?
Yes, the Radiation Alert Ranger (MPN RANGER) is supplied with a NIST calibration certificate. It is a handheld radiation meter that measures in CPM, CPS, mR/hr, and uSv/hr, with an operating range of 0.001 (1 µR) to 100 mR/hr and 2 MeV alpha energy sensitivity. The Ranger includes a stand and is designed for survey applications. The NIST certificate provides traceability for quality and compliance documentation. Calibration intervals should be determined by the user based on their specific requirements and applicable regulations.
What is the difference between the Radiation Alert GammaView and the M1000 EC?
The Radiation Alert GammaView (MPN GammaView) is a survey meter with an operating range of 0 to 875,000 CPM. It measures in CPM, CPS, mR/hr, and uSv/hr, features an LCD with backlight, and includes a Mini USB cable. The M1000 EC (MPN M1000 EC) measures in CPM and CPS with an operating range of 0 to 7,500 CPS. It also has an LCD with backlight and includes a Mini USB cable. Both are supplied with NIST calibration certificates. The GammaView offers a higher CPM range, while the M1000 EC provides a CPS range suitable for lower-activity measurements.
Can the Radiation Alert Monitor 200 be connected to a mobile device?
Yes, the Radiation Alert Monitor 200 (MPN MONITOR 200) includes the Observer BLE App, which enables Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity to compatible mobile devices. The instrument is a radiation survey meter that measures in mR/hr over an operating range of 0 to 235,400 CPM. It features an LCD with backlight and comes with a NIST calibration certificate. The app allows users to view readings remotely and log data. This can be useful for monitoring in areas where direct access is limited or for recording survey data over time.
What accessories are included with the Radiation Alert RangerEXP?
The Radiation Alert RangerEXP (MPN RANGEREXP) is a radiation survey meter that includes a 3 ft BNC cable and an LCD with backlight. It measures in CPS over an operating range of 0.001 (1 µR) to 100 mR/hr and is supplied with a NIST calibration certificate. The BNC cable allows connection to external probes or data logging equipment. The RangerEXP is designed for survey applications where a separate probe may be required. Additional accessories may be available separately; consult the product page for details.
Is the Radiation Alert PEN200MR suitable for personal dosimetry?
The Radiation Alert PEN200MR is a compact radiation detector that measures gamma radiation in mR over a 0 to 200 mR range. It features 6 MeV gamma energy sensitivity and includes a NIST-traceable calibration certificate. While it can be used for personal monitoring, it is not a replacement for a dedicated personal dosimeter in all regulatory contexts. It is suitable for spot checks and initial surveys. Users should verify that its range and sensitivity meet their specific monitoring requirements. The pen-style form factor allows it to be carried in a pocket or clipped to clothing.
