Product Introduction

Product Description
First of all, thank you for choosing our company’s nuclear radiation detector (detector). This product uses a Geiger-Müller counter, a type of counter for detecting the intensity of ionizing radiation (X-rays, gamma rays, beta rays). Using an inflatable tube or a small room as a probe, when the voltage applied to the probe reaches a certain range, each ionizing radiation inside the tube produces a pair of ions, which amplifies to generate a pulse of the same size and is recorded by the connected electronic device. The number of radiation rays per unit time is measured in this way. The alarm threshold measurement rate can be arbitrarily selected.

Product Features

  • Real-time clock display.
  • Power-down data preservation.
  • High sensitivity, suitable for diverse working environments.
  • Detects X-rays 、gamma(γ) rays、beta(β) rays.
  • The product can pre-set dose rate and cumulative dose alarm thresholds.
  • Choice of three kinds of combined alarm modes: sound, vibration, and light.
  • Dual-language (Chinese and English) operating interface, simple and user- friendly.
  • Liquid crystal display with Chinese character display function, clear status display at a glance.
