The Monitor 200 measures alpha, beta, gamma, and x-rays. Its digital display shows readings in your choice of CPM, CPS, μSv/hr, mR/hr, or in accumulated counts. It has a digital, easy to read backlit display, a red count light, and a beeper that sounds with each count detected. This unit also includes an adjustable timer and a loud, customizable alert.

With the Free Radiation Alert Observer BLE app from the Google App Store, you can display the readings from your detector, label sample readings and descriptions, take timed counts, append GPS data and send your saved survey file. Alarms set on the instrument will also activate on your Android device.

The Free Observer USB software (Windows® only) reads in Total Counts, CPM, µR/hr, mR/hr, CPS, µSv/hr, and has the ability to collect and log data, set alarms, set timed counts, set the calibration date and settings, and generate reports.

Applications & Uses: Checking accelerator & x-ray shielding for leakage, industrial gauges containing Cesium-137, Locating Sources, Personal protection, General surveying

Detector

Halogen-quenched GM tube with thin mica end window. Mica window density 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2. Effective window diameter is .360 inch. Side wall is .012 inch thick.

Operating Range mR/hr – .001 (1µR) to 200 mR/hr µSv/hr – .01 to 2000 CPM – 0 to 235,400 CPS – 0 to 3923 Total Counts – 1 to 9,999,000 counts

Energy Sensitivity

1070 CPM/mR/hr referenced to 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.
Detects 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.

Accuracy

Referenced to Cs137
Typically ±15% from factory, ±10% with NIST Source Calibration NIST Calibration Additional

Anti-Saturation

Readout will OVERRANGE in radiation fields as high as 100 times the maximum reading.

Selectable Alert Set Range

mR/hr .001 – 100 and CPM 1 – 350,000. Pulsating beeper sounds the alert. Adjustable alert levels are used for mR/hr / CPM, and µSv/hr / CPS. 70db @ 1m. Alarm will sound when in Timer Mode when set alarm threshold is reached.
