Scaler timer
Radhound X/I has a scaler time mode, allowing the integration of dose rate. Additionally time to dose can be indicated.
Self Test
Radhound X/I automatically checks its health on turn on. It checks the high voltage, battery level, keyboard and sounder.
Peak mode
Records the maximum value seen since the last reset.
Over range
Detector current measurement allows over-range detection to prevent count saturation. The maximum count rate can be limited in the menu.
Long battery life
The alkaline battery version uses two standard 1.5 V C-cells. Alternatively a lithium ion rechargeable version is available. The screen has a battery level indicator in all counting modes.
Rugged care
The Radhound X/I case is waterproof to IP65, chemical resistant and can be safely wiped clean. A tough stainless steel case with impact resistant polymer ends means it will stand up to the rigors of daily use.
