NUCLEONIX SYSTEMS RC 705E Instruction Manual page 9

Rad Check Meter Type : RC 705E manufactured by NUCLEONIX SYSTEMS is primarily designed to inspect &
measure Radioactive Contamination (RaC) in steel samples such as billets, rods, rounds, flats, castings, Automotive
/ Engineering components etc. Components in different sizes & shapes can be inspected by this meter. This Rad
Check Meter is widely used globally by many steel industries. This is a Portable Hand Held Meter, designed around
integrally coupled 1" x 1" NaI (Tl) Scintillator to a 1" x 1.5" PMT, will offer an optimum performance in counting
Low-Level Gamma contamination.
This unit has Two modes of measurement namely Dose rate mode & count rate mode. In dose rate mode it
measures in two 'Unit' i.e., nSv/hr and also in mR/hr and in count rate mode it can measure in CPS & also in CPM
modes. Dose rates close to natural background levels can be measured accurately.
This Rad Check Meter is an ideal choice for the Recycled steel /casting industry & Engineering component industry
& serves as a good quality assurance (QA) tool to check for Radioactive Contamination (RaC).
This unit employs microcontroller based design and has number of unique features. User can store upto 1000
readings at the press of a button and can recall back, for visual indication on a dot matrix LCD display. This unit is
provided with a built-in Serial port (optionally) through which the stored data can be down loaded into PC.
Some important features of this unit are:
Microcontroller based design
Compact, elegant and light weight

User can store up to 1000 readings

Detects Gamma and X radiation

Measures dose rate from (0.1-10000µR/hr) (or) (10nSv/hr - 100k nSv/hr)

Count rate mode : CPS (0-50000)

 Detector: 1" x 1" NaI (Tl) Detector probe assembly is built into the instrument enclosure box.

USB to UART serial port (Optional)
Built in audio

Works on 6V DC dry cells


This is a handheld portable instrument used to check for Radioactive contamination (RaC) in both finished products
APPLICATIONS
and raw materials made of stainless steel, castings, iron products, engineering precision components, buckles, metal
rings, zips, ornamental metal rings in leather jackets / textile garments etc. Input raw materials of iron/steel scrap,
including melting scrap, engine block scrap, counter weight scrap etc also can be inspected by this unit.
All steel/Iron/alloy structural products/ fittings/parts/accessories including Road fencing/Road barriers, vehicle
chassis fittings etc can also be inspected for radioactive contamination. Additionally it can be used as a general
purpose.
