How does RD01 work?
The RD01 unit utilizes the Geiger-Mueller (GM) tube to detect radiation (Beta, Gamma and X-Ray a.k.a. Roentgen
rays). Radiation passes through the GM-tube and causes gas ionization to occur with inside the tube. When ionization
has achieved a certain level, an electrical discharge takes place. Each of the discharges is detected electronically and
registered within the RD01's microprocessor. Depending on the frequency of discharges, the level of radiation is
calculated by the IC chip via a count during a certain period of time.
