The 'Radiation Alert' Ranger Pocket Geiger Counter is now smaller, more ergonomic, and with better features, all for the same price! The Ranger features a new interface with touchpad technology. Included with each instrument for no extra charge is a protective boot, carrying case and stand that holds the instrument upright for hands-free operation!
The Ranger offers maximum performance in a lightweight, rugged solution for surveying at the facility or in the field. The Ranger has been designed for industrial environments, but it still has all of the features you’ve come to love in the lab.
- Small, handheld, microprocessor-based instrument
- Excellent sensitivity to low levels of Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and X-rays
- Backlit digital display
- Red count light
- Audible Beeper that sounds with each count detected, providing instant indications of the radiation level.
- Selectable alert levels
- Adjustable timer for performing Timed Counts
- Built in efficiencies for common isotopes to calculate activity in Bq and DPM. (Important: The Ranger does not identify isotopes - to use this feature, you must know the isotope in advance).
- Internal memory, data logging, and USB connectivity
- Free Observer USB Software to download your data, set computer alarms, and calibrate your instrument!
- Bluetooth for use with the Free Observer BLE App for Android.
- Optional wipe test plate for swipes.
- Calibrated at the factory, electronically - Certificate of Conformance included - see photo above
- NIST level calibration available at extra charge - click here
Specifications
Detector
Internal Halogen-quenched, uncompensated GM tube with thin mica window, 1.4-2.0 mg/cm2 areal density. Effective diameter of window is 45 mm (1.77 in.).
Operating Range
mR/hr - .001 (1µR) to 100
µSv/hr - .01 to 1000
CPM - 0 to 350,000
CPS - 0 to 5000
Total Counts- 1 to 9,999,000 counts
Accuracy
(Referenced to Cs137) Typically ±15% from factory, ±10% with NIST Source Calibration
Energy Sensitivity
Detects Alpha down to 2 MeV. Detects Beta down to .16 MeV; typical detection efficiency at 1 MeV is approx. 25%. Detects Gamma down to 10 KeV through the detector window. 3340 CPM/mR/hr (137Cs). Smallest detectable level for 125I is .02 µCi at contact.
Built-In Efficiencies
Sulfur (35S), Strontium (90Sr/y), Cesium (137Cs), Phosphorus (32P), Carbon (14C), Iodine (131I), Cobalt (60Co), and Alpha
Selectable Alert Set Range
mR/hr .001 - 50 and CPM 1 - 160,000. Pulsating beeper sounds the alert. Adjustable alert levels are used for mR/hr / CPM, and µSv/hr / CPS. 70db @ 1m. Alarm will sound when in Timer Mode when set alarm threshold is reached.
Anti-Saturation
Meter will hold at OVER RANGE in fields as high as 100 times the maximum reading.
Averaging Periods
Display updates every 3 seconds. At low background levels, the update is the average for the past 30-second time period. The timed period for the average decreases as the radiation level increases.
Display
Graphic Display with Backlight
Count Light
Red LED flashes with each radiation event
Audio Indicator
Internally mounted beeper (can be switched off for silent operation)
Data Logging Capacity
5,452 data points, which at 1 minute intervals as an example, equates to 3.7 days
Outputs
USB for use with Free Observer USB Software for PCs
Power Requirements
Two AA alkaline batteries (included)
Size
140 X 68 X 33 mm (5.5 X 2.7 X 1.3 in.)
Includes
Carrying Case, Xtreme Boot, Stand, Mini-USB Cable, Observer USB Software Download , Certificate of Conformance
Options
Wipe Test Plate, Swipes, NIST Calibration
