Description
Analog Meter Geiger Counters are useful for detecting and measuring radioactivity and performing nuclear experiments.
The geiger counter has a digital output that provides a TTL logic pulse each time a radioactive particle is detected. Used to connected to various digital adapters and network software.
Applications:
- Education - Classroom demonstrations and experiments
- Emergency Services and Domestic Preparedness
- HAZMAT and Compliance Verification
- Dirty Bomb Screening and EMT's
The analog meter is calibrated in mR/hr that is useful for approximating radiation levels. There are three pre-set ranges:
Ranges
- 0-1 mR/hr (Range switch set to 1X)
- 0-10 mR/Hr (Range switch set to 10X)
- 0-100 mR/hr (Range switch set to 100X)
These geiger counters also have secondary indicators; an audio click and LED blink each time a radioactive particle is detected. Model GCA-03 has an internal Geiger-Mulluer (GM) tube.
The GM tube is Ne + Halogen filled with a .38†effective diameter mg/cm2 mica end window.
It detects the following radiation:
- Alpha above 3.0 MeV
- Beta above 50 KeV
- Gamma above 7 Ke
The Analog Meter Geiger Counter has the following features:
Headphone / Analog Meter Jack
Digital Output -- Provides a TTL logic pulse each time a radioactive particle is detected. Used to connected to various digital adapters such as; Digital Meters, Random Number Generators, USB and RS-232 Adaptors, Graphic software and network software.
