Page 11: Usage Information
1165- Geiger-Müller Sensor Usage Information The Smart Geiger-Müller Sensor consists of the GM tube, and a steel rod for clamping it to suitable mounting for ease of use. This device allows the quantification of ionising events generated by a radioactive source. - Page 12 1165- Geiger-Müller Sensor The GM tube will output a pulse. This output does not depend upon the energy of the radiation that enters the tube. All that is needed is for excitation to be great enough to be able to reach the detection region and to produce subsequent ionisation.

Page 13: Measurement Strategy
1165- Geiger-Müller Sensor The amount of charge that results is dependent upon the voltage (as shown), which needs to be above the threshold voltage. If we consider there to be a voltage more than this, then amount of charge produced will be proportional to thus excess voltage. - Page 14 1165- Geiger-Müller Sensor Follow the Notices Section Keep the distance between the source and the GM tube easy to measure and use whole units! Additionally · Persons under 16 years of age should not handle any radioactive sources. · Never handle a source without protection available, or directly.
