Introduction - Thermo Scientific SENTINEL RadEye G Operating Instructions Manual

1. Introduction

The pocket sized SENTINEL RadEye G is a sensitive and
rugged device to measure the photon exposure rate (R/h) of
gamma and X-ray radiation.
The characteristic feature of the SENTINEL RadEye G is the
use of sophisticated low power technology components and
microprocessor based, fully automatic self checks. No mainte-
nance is required.
The SENTINEL RadEye G incorporates a sensitive GM tube
detector allowing the detection of low to medium radiation
levels.
While in some of the pictures in this documentation the meas-
uring unit "µR/h" is displayed, the measuring range of the
SENTINEL Rad Eye G is restricted to 0.01 mR/h – 10 R/h.
The last 1600 mean and maximum values of the dose rate and
count rate are recorded internally and can be read out via serial
interface.
Additionally the SENTINEL RadEye G logs the last 250
alarms, errors and changes of the configuration. All events can
be read out via serial interface.
