Product Description

This product uses a Geiger-Miller counter. Counter for detecting the intensity of ionizing radiation (beta particles, gamma rays and x-rays).Use a gas tube or a small chamber as a probe. When the voltage applied to the probe reaches a certain range. Each time the ray is ionized in the tube to produce a pair of ions, it can be amplified to produce an electric pulse of the same size. And recorded by the connected electronic device. The number of rays per unit time thus measured. The alarm
threshold measurement rate can be arbitrarily selected.

Key features

Detect x ray，γ rays and β rays.
High sensitivity, can be used in various environments.
Data is saved during shutdown.
High-definition LCD display. The status display is clear at a glance.
Light/Vibration/Sound 3 combined alarm modes to choose.
Real-time clock display.
The product can preset dose rate and cumulative dose alarm
threshold.

Conversion of radioactive units

International Standards (1990)

Radioactive staff: 20mSv/year (10μSv/hour)
General public: 1mSv/year (0.52μSv/hour)

Unit conversion

1μSv/h=100μR/h 1nc/kg.h=4μR/h
1μR=1γ(The unit used for prospecting in the pronuclear industry)

Radioactivity:
1Ci=1000mCi
1mCi=1000μci
1Ci=3.7×1010Bq =37GBq
1mCi=3.7×107Bq =37MBq
1μCi=3.7×104Bq=37KBq
1Bq=2.703×10-11Ci=27.03pci

Metering equivalent:
1Sv=103mSv=106μSv
1Sv=100rem 100μrem=1μSv

Exposure:
1R=103mR=106μR
1R=2.58×10-4c/kg

Absorption metering:
1Gy=103mGy=106μGy
1Gy=100rad 100μrad=1μGy

Radon unit:
1Bq/L=0.27em=0.27×10-10Ci/L

Other:
1Sv is equivalent to 1Gy 1g radium=0.97Ci≈1Ci

Calculation of radioisotope decay values

A=A0eλ-t t=T1/2 ；
A0 The known source strength A is how much time has elapsed, According
to the radioactive decay calculation table look-up table calculation.

The relationship between radioactive source and distance

The intensity of the radioactive source is inversely proportional to
the square of the distance.
X=A.г/R2A: The activity of the point source; R: Distance from source;
г: Exposure rate constant
Note: Ra-226 (t 1608) г=0.825 ren. m2/hour. Curie
Cs—137 (t 29.9 years) г= 0.33 ren. m2/hour. Curie
Co—60 (t 5.23 years) г=1.32 ren. m2/hour. Curie

According to the radioactive decay calculation table, look up the table to calculate the radioactive shielding:

NOTE

Nuclear radiation detectors are sophisticated instruments. Please be careful. The following recommendations will facilitate instrument maintenance and prolong life.

Keep as dry as possible during storage and use. Excessive humidity can cause malfunction and damage to the instrument.
Please don’t use the instrument violently or rudely, prevent dropping, knocking and violent vibration of the instrument. Otherwise, the instrument will be damaged.
When the power display is too low, it is in an under voltage state and should be charged in time. In case of serious under voltage, the instrument can not be turned on and off, and abnormal phenomena such as blurred screen occur.

※If the instrument cannot work normally, please contact our company after sales. We will solve the problem

Instrument maintenance

Please keep it dry and wipe off the dirt on the surface of the instrument with a soft cloth before use. Don’t use detergents or solvents
Please recycle and use damaged instruments, accessories and packaging materials in an environmentally friendly manner.
Please shut down in time when not in use for a long time
Don’t disassemble or replace components without permission to avoid failure.
Please store in a dry place when not in use.
