3 radEAGLE Measuring Modes

This chapter describes the essential measuring modes of your radEAGLE.

Dose Rate Mode

Observe the ambient radiation, see 3.1, p. 31

Easy ID Mode

Identify radiating nuclides quickly, see 3.2, p. 33

Detect Mode

Locate radiation sources, see 3.3, p. 34

Measuring modes might be overridden by warning and alarms, please refer to chapter 4,

p. 37.

3.1 Dose Rate Mode

The Dose Rate Mode is the main measurement mode of the radEAGLE. It is active after

starting up the instrument.

Figure 21: Dose rate display

Several representations of the current ambient dose rate (H*10) are shown (Fig. 21, p. 31):

Digital

Large digits show the current value and the unit. The unit adapts to the order of

magnitude of the value: µSv/h, mSv/h, Sv/h. You can select a Sievert or a rem-based

display, see 5.4, p. 49.

Additionally, the current gamma count rate is shown.

If your model is equipped with a neutron detector, the current neutron count

rate ist shown.
