Key Features:
• Accurately separates alpha and beta signals for precise measurement.
• Offers over 1,000 hours of operation on two C-cell batteries, resulting in low cost of ownership.
• Includes Scaler/Timer (with preset count/time) for sample measurements, Continuous Ratemeter for frisker operation, and $\alpha$, $\beta$, or $\alpha + \beta$ modes.
• Menu-driven user interface with a bright, backlit LCD display and simple five-button control, minimizing training costs.
• Huge internal memory for both scaler-type and continuous data recording (up to 1,200 data sets).
• Users can select the proper calibration factor from a list of isotopes (e.g., Bq, Bq/cm², dpm).
Applications: Primarily aligns in daily surface contamination measurements and regulatory monitoring in environments where alpha and beta radiation is present.
