Description :
RDS-80
Surface Contamination Meter
The RDS-80 Surface Contamination Meter  is a versatile contamination detector which has been designed for a wide range of applications in different i elds of radiation protection in nuclear industry, rescue and other operations, involving a possibility for abnormal contamination levels.
The Digital, Hand Held Pulse Rate Meter is suitable for personnel who need to locate and detect contaminated surfaces/objects during their work. The functions comprise contamination measurements with alarm functions and automatic conversion to activity value and additionally surface contamination measurement with a possibility to store the histogram events into the meter´s internal memory.  The use of coni guration software (CSW) is required for downloading the data into a PC via IrDA port).
Features:

• Wide measurement range: up to 100 000 cps or 100 000 Bq/cm2
• Standard surface contamination measurements in cps or Bq/cm2
• Contamination measurements with histogram function
• Visual and audible alarms
• Handy and easy to use design 
• Software for parameter setting, histogram readings and nuclide calibration

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

Radiological Characteristics

• Radiation detected: alpha >2 MeV, beta >100 keV, gamma and x-rays from 5 keV to 1.3 MeV
