Radiation Alert Monitor 1000EC

Energy‑Compensated Gamma & X‑Ray Radiation Detector

The Radiation Alert® Monitor 1000EC is a professional energy‑compensated radiation detector designed for accurate measurement of gamma and X‑ray radiation across a wide range of applications. Its energy‑compensated response ensures reliable dose‑rate measurements, making it well suited for radiation safety, survey work, and compliance monitoring.

Accurate Energy‑Compensated Measurements

The Monitor 1000EC provides radiation readings in multiple selectable units, allowing users to view results in the format required for their application. Available measurement modes include:

  • Counts Per Minute (CPM)
  • Counts Per Second (CPS)
  • µSv/hr
  • mR/hr
  • Accumulated Total Counts

This versatility makes the Monitor 1000EC ideal for most applications requiring an energy‑compensated gamma and X‑ray detector.

Clear Alerts & User‑Friendly Operation

For enhanced situational awareness, the Monitor 1000EC features a red count indicator light and an audible beeper that sounds with each detected event. An adjustable counting timer and selectable alarm thresholds allow the instrument to be tailored to specific operational or safety requirements.

Data Logging with Free Observer USB Software

Included with the Monitor 1000EC is Free Observer USB Software (Windows® compatible), enabling comprehensive data management and reporting. The software supports readings in Total Counts, CPM, CPS, µR/hr, mR/hr, and µSv/hr, and allows users to:

  • Collect and log radiation data
  • Configure alarm setpoints
  • Perform timed counts
  • Set calibration dates and detector settings
  • Generate professional reports
  • Download and manage stored survey data
  • Configure computer‑based alarms

Optional Bluetooth® Connectivity

For enhanced flexibility, the optional Bluetooth® module enables seamless integration with the free Radiation Alert® Observer BLE app available on the Google Play Store. When connected, users can:

  • Display real‑time radiation readings with descriptions
  • Label samples and survey measurements
  • Perform timed counts
  • Append GPS location data
  • Save, send, and share survey files
  • Mirror detector alarms directly on an Android device

This mobile capability extends monitoring and reporting beyond the instrument, supporting efficient field and facility operations.

What Our Clients Say

Ron Ulbrich, Geiger Counter Pro

“The Radiation Alert Ranger® is a great value for those looking for a modern Geiger counter. I found that is simple to use yet includes many advanced functions if and when you want them without obstructing the simplicity…”

Judson Kenoyer, CHP, CIH

“I have used the Monitor 4 in courses that I teach radiation safety for close to 8 years. The students love it and affectionately call it the “Batman unit” because of its use in the movie The Dark Knight Rises. It is light-weight, sensitive, and quite often out performs some of the more expensive units from other companies that we use in a lab exercise…”

Neil Breslow, NDT Supply

“NDT Supply has been working with SE International since we started business in 2000. We have found them to be easy to work with, and a very reliable and responsive supplier. Questions and issues are always handled promptly and with a smile…”
