1.5 The radEAGLET-R

1.5.1.2 Geiger-Müller Detector

The dose rate is determined by either the scintillation detector or the internal Geiger-Müller

tube. When the dose rate at the scintillator surface exceeds 200 µSv/h, the Geiger-Müller

tube will perform the dose rate measurement. This tube is suited for measuring dose rates

up to 1 Sv/h. ( Geiger-Müller detector)

If the Geiger-Müller detector kicks in, you are already in an extremely dangerous level

of radiation. You should increase distance and shielding between yourself and the

source. Additionally, you should restrict the time you stay within this field to an abso-

lute minimum.

This item is available for radEAGLET-R models with a neutron detector (see E.1,

p. 153).

The neutron detector continuously runs and acquires the current neutron counts per sec-

ond (cps) ( Neutron Detector).
