DOSEMETER
Sample time: 1, 2, 3, ... , 10, 20, 30, ... , 60 s
Energy range : 50 keV - 3.0 MeV set by the spectrometer
Meas. units: Selectable R, Sv, Gy.
Meas. range: Sodium-Iodide only: 1 µR/h - 5 mR/h
System may overload at the higher level at a different rate depending on the
isotope. Approximate
maximum levels are 2mR/h for Am-241 and 5 mR/h for
Cs-137.
