Digital Radiation Detector - a ß y x

The Radiation Alert® Frisker is a radiation contamination instrument that has been designed to meet the demands of today’s radiation responder. By integrating the latest electronics with a proven and dependable Geiger-Mueller detector, S.E. International has created a rugged, ergonomic tool that addresses a number of radiological applications.

Detector

Halogen-quenched GM tube with thin mica end window. Mica window density 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2. Effective window diameter is .360 inch. Side wall is .012 inch thick.

Operating Range

µR/hr - 1 to 50,000
CPM - 0.0 to 175,000
nSv/hr - 1 to 500,000
CPS - 0.0 to 2500

Accuracy

Typically ±15% from factory. , ±10% (NIST).

Energy Sensitivity

1070 CPM/mR/hr referenced to Cs137
Detects alpha down to 2.5 MeV; typical detection efficiency at 3.6 MeV is greater than 80%.
Detects beta at 50 keV with typical 35% detection efficiency.
Detects beta at 150 keV with typical 75% detection efficiency.
Detects gamma and x-rays down to 10 keV typical through the window, 40 keV minimum through the case.

Anti-Saturation

Readout will OVERRANGE in radiation fields as high as 100 times the maximum reading.

Alert

Pulsating beeper sounds the alert. Adjustable alert levels are used for µR/hr / CPM, and nSv/hr / CPS.

Display

Backlit liquid crystal display with mode indicators.

Count Light

Red LED flashes with each count.

Audio Indicator

Sounds with each count (can be switched off for silent operation)
