The RDS-80 Surface Contamination Meter is a versatile contamination detector which has been designed for a wide range of applications in different fields of radiation protection in nuclear industry, rescue and other operations, involving a possibility for abnormal contamination levels.

The Digital, Hand Held Pulse Rate Meter is suitable for personnel who need to locate and detect contaminated surfaces/ objects during their work.

The functions comprise contamination measurements with alarm functions and automatic conversion to surface activity value and additionally surface contamination measurement with a possibility to store the histogram events in the meter´s internal memory.

• Radiation Detected: Alpha >2 MeV, beta E_max >100 keV, gamma and x-rays from 5 keV to 3 MeV
• Detector: End window GM tube, 1.5-2 mg/cm²
• MICA Window: Active surface area 15.2 cm²
• Measurement Range: Surface contamination 1 to 100 000 cps or 0.01 to 1 000 000 Bq/cm²
• Alarm levels: Freely adjustable alarm levels for contamination level
• Cps linearity: ±15% ±1 digit over the range. The Bq/cm² display is calculated from cps values using isotope dependent coefficients
• Display: Either cps or Bq/cm²
• Surface Activity: (Bq/cm²) display configurable for different isotopes
• Cps Rate: Follow-up by audible signal with frequency proportional to activity
• Visual and Audible Alarm: User settable for surface activity
• Histogram Capability: Up to 480 points with user settable logging interval
• Backlit Display: Six large digits
• Built-in Self-diagnostics Function
• Gamma Background: Reduction for Bq/cm² measurements
• Built-in Infrared port (IrDA)
