Gamma-Scout Rechargeable

 GAMMA-SCOUT®RECHARGEABLE – Geiger Counter

The Gamma-Scout RECHARGEABLE comes with a rechargeable battery instead of a battery. This can be recharged quickly and easily via USB interface. This Gamma-Scout model also includes all the features of the Alert model and was developed for those customers who often measure elevated radiation and therefore need a very powerful supply cell.

Rechargeable Battery

Equipped with a battery rechargeable via USB interface

Alarm & Ticker

Including all functions of the model “with alarm and ticker”.

Alarm Thresholds for Dose Rate & Dose

gives an acoustic signal if the radiation is detected above the defined limit value.

Simple Measurement:

In measuring mode the current dose rate (a measure for the ionizing radiation) is displayed every 2 seconds or the average dose rate of the last day is displayed for a short time (0:00-23:59)

Patented Energy Saving Concept:

The Gamma-Scout® monitors the radiation day and night and stores the values for later readout. Thanks to sophisticated, patented electronics, the battery will last for years. The RECHARGEABLE model works with rechargeable batteries. When connected to the PC, the device is supplied with power via the USB interface – this saves the battery or charges the battery.

Measures α Radiation:

Thanks to a high-quality LND end window counter, the Gamma-Scout measures α, β and γ radiation.

Wide Measuring Range:

According to calibration, the GAMMA-SCOUT measures reliably over a wide range (0.1 up to 1,000 microSievert/h). The measuring range of the counter tube is much wider, but the device is calibrated with specified accuracy.

Tested Calibration:

Every GAMMA-SCOUT measuring instrument is subjected to a final test, which is supervised by the Institute for Radiation Protection of a state technical college. The test items must be within the 5% confidence interval against a master, which in turn has been calibrated against a tested Cs 137 emitter and the ODL.

Dose Rate and Dose:

GAMMA-SCOUT is also a dosimeter (cumulated radiation over time).

Data Storage:

GAMMA-SCOUT stores occurred pulses in different adjustable time intervals (up to 32,000 readings). For permanent monitoring, the storage of environmental values is set to one value every 2h, which would correspond to a recording period of 7 years.

Data Readout via Microsoft WINDOWS:

The stored values can be read out and evaluated under Microsoft Windows (WIN 7 up to WIN 10) using the enclosed TOOLBOX software.

Data Readout via MAC OS X:

The stored values can be read out and evaluated under Mac OS X using the Gamma-Scout READER software supplied.

Flexible Display:

The display can be shown in Sievert or Rem.

Permitted on Flights:

The GAMMA-SCOUT (R) can be carried on board of airplanes.

Certification:

The GAMMA-SCOUT(R) complies with Section 15 of the US FCC rules.

Source Isotope not equal to CS 137:

The conversion of pulses per time to dose rate is based on Cs 137. In case other isotopes are present, the pulses per time can be displayed directly and converted according to your own tables.
