1.1. Meter Type
MK-I – RAM GENE-1 with plastic (ABS) case.
MK-II – RAM GENE-1 with metal (aluminum) case and display backlight.
1.2. General Description
The RAM GENE-1 radiation and contamination meter is designed to detect very low levels
of alpha, beta and gamma surface radiation contamination in CPS or CPM unit and it
switched to measure radiation field in μSv/h or mR/h units .
RAM GENE-1 meter is a state-of-the-art microprocessor based instrument, equipped with a
recessed internal GM pancake detector of 1.75" effective diameter, with a thin mica window
covered by a protective stainless steel wire mesh screen.
The meter is a one-hand-operation instrument, portable, lightweight and compact. Only three
pushbuttons are needed for operation: ON/OFF, RESET for accurate measurement of low
level contamination (MK1) or LIGHT (MK2), and SPEAKER push-button for audible
indicator volume control. Switching between the measuring units is automatically performed
according to the energy cap location.
Three ways of indications enable the RAM GENE-1 user to monitor and survey surface
contamination rapidly and accurately: a large four 7-segment LCD, an audible click whose
rate varies directly with count rate, and a LED indicator that flashes with each incident
radiation pulse.
The sophisticated software offers special features and optimal performance. A wide dynamic
range, up to 42000 cps (999E cpm) for contamination, and up to 720 mR/h (7200 μSv/h) for
radiation, is obtained by automatic dead time correction, according to the preset calibration.
A special averaging function softens the readout and maintains fast response time, while
keeping the standard deviation at a minimum. An automatic self-diagnostic procedure
continuously checks both, meter and detector, and reports any case of detector failure. The
meter also alarms in any case of a reading exceeding threshold value, reading overflow or low
battery. Threshold can be selected from a range of 11 preset threshold values for each unit.
When the meter is turned off, the last threshold value and the calibration factor are kept in
memory.
The RAM GENE-1 meter can be ordered with a PELICAN suitcase or a leather case, for
protection against mechanical damages.
