The Radiation Alert® Monitor 4 is a compact, analog radiation detector designed for versatility and reliability. This general-purpose survey meter can detect alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation across three selectable ranges. With decades of proven performance in the industry, the Monitor 4 has become one of the leading analog radiation detectors available today. Its simple, ergonomic design features a red count light that flashes and an audible beep for each detected count. A quick flick of your thumb allows for an easy battery check and silent operation.
Applications & Uses: Checking industrial gauges, such as moisture, density, or level gauges containing Cesium-137, Locating Sources, Personal protection, General surveying
Halogen-quenched uncompensated GM tube with thin mica window 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2 thick.
Effective diameter of window is 9.1 mm (.36 in.).
Operating Range
0-.5, 0-5, 0-50 mR/hr |
X1, X10, X100, Battery Check.
1000 CPM/mR/hr (Cs137).
Detects alpha down to 2.5 MeV; typical detection efficiency at 3.6 MeV is greater than 80%. Detects beta at 50 keV with typical 35% detection efficiency and beta at 150 keV with typical 75% detection efficiency. Detects gamma and x-rays down to 10 keV typical through the window, 40 keV minimum through the case.
