RDS-80

Surface Contamination Monitor

The Digital, Hand Held Pulse Rate Meter is suitable for personnel who need to locate and detect contaminated surfaces/objects during their work.

The RDS-80 Surface Contamination Meter is a versatile contamination detector which has been designed for a wide range of applications in different fields of radiation protection in nuclear industry, rescue and other operations, involving a possibility for abnormal contamination levels.

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 configuration software (RDS-CSW ) is required for downloading the data into a PC via IrDA port.

Features

  • Wide measurement range: up to 100 000 cps or 1 000 000 Bq/cm²

  • Standard surface contamination measurements in cps or Bq/cm²

  • Visual and audible alarms

  • Handy and easy- to- use design

  • Software for parameter setting, histogram readings and nuclide calibration complies with IEC 60325 standard
