Radiation Alert® Sentry EC

The Radiation Alert® Sentry EC is a compact personal alarming radiation dosimeter and rate meter designed to help protect personnel working in environments where gamma or X‑ray exposure may be present. Its pocket‑sized design and advanced alerting features make it well suited for continuous personal radiation monitoring.

Energy‑Compensated, Accurate Monitoring

The Sentry EC features an energy‑compensated detection tube that provides a linear response to gamma radiation, improving accuracy across varying energy levels. It measures both dose and dose rate, while built‑in memory stores accumulated exposure data for review and analysis.

Custom Alerts & Event Reconstruction

With the included free SentryCom Software, users can download stored data, perform incident reconstructions, and analyze exposure history. The dosimeter supports customizable audible and vibrating alarms for both dose and dose‑rate thresholds, helping users stay informed when radiation levels exceed preset limits, including:

  • Dose alarms (>1.0 mR / 10 µSv)
  • Dose‑rate alarms (>1.0 mR/hr / 10 µSv/hr)

Discreet or Audible Operation

An integrated audio mode switch allows users to select between audible clicks with each detected count or a silent mode for discreet operation in noise‑sensitive or controlled environments.

Designed for Personal Radiation Safety

Portable and easy to use, the Radiation Alert® Sentry EC supports real‑time awareness, data logging, and post‑event analysis—helping professionals monitor and manage personal radiation exposure effectively.

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…”
