Overview
The GQ GMC-800 digital Geiger Muller Counter is specially designed to be a U.S. NRC compliant, portable
and convenient device. It can be used in industrial, commercial maintenance, research, evaluation,
simulation and other analytical or scientific applications in areas such as industrial plants, public utilities,
hospitals, universities, laboratories, and electronic repair shops. The device comes with built in audible and
visual signals for the level of radiation detected. It can be used for radiation detection and monitoring for
both indoor and outdoor environments. It features automatic data recording, continually monitoring the
radiation level and logging the data into internal memory every second. Users can check and analyze this
data by connecting the GMC-800 to a computer and downloading with provided software. The GQ GMC-
800 also comes with a high-quality color LCD Module, the friendly designed graphic user interface is fully
utilized the color LCD. The device has one front LED indicator.
The device is equipped with a Type-C USB port, utilized for communication and external power
supply/charging of the internal rechargeable Li-Ion 3.6V/3.7V battery.
The GQ GMC-800 rechargeable battery can be charged with a standard wall adapter. Using the adapters,
continuous data monitoring is possible. The GMC-800 can run on only the wall adapter, giving users
freedom from the limitations of a battery and guaranteeing consistent and accurate measurements.
The main board also has a real time clock on board for time related data logging purposes.
The USB port communicates with the GQ Geiger Counter Data Viewer software.
The GQ Geiger Counter Data Viewer software can download the time stamped radiation (history) data
from the unit and save it on a computer for future references and analysis.
