Almost every day we read about the increasing risks of ionizing radiation exposure. From radon in granite countertops, to radioactive recycled metal, depleted uranium munitions, nuclear plant leakage, forgotten disposal sites, even the so-called "dirty bomb" are all serious and current dangers to our health and well-being.

With so many source hazards surrounding us, it's no wonder more and more individuals and organizations are investing in handheld Geiger counters for personal use, for security screening and for general radiation safety purposes.

Today's users require a state-of-the-art Geiger counter to detect multiple source contamination. They need an easy-to-use instrument that's sensitive enough even at low dosage levels.

And they want a reliable detector they can depend on whenever it's needed. The Gamma-Scout® Radiation Detector meets those requirements, and more.

With Gamma-Scout® ALERT you're on guard "24/7" with an ultra long life 10-year V-MAX Battery, user-programmable THRESHOLD ALARM and REAL-TIME audible TICKER.

When you order your Gamma-Scout® Geiger counter, it arrives powered up, checking and recording ambient background radioactivity levels, plus displaying a reading of the previous 24 hour average dosage.

An extra large digital readout shows measured radiation in English units (mrems/hr) or SI metric units (µSv/hr), accumulated paticle Pulse Counts over time (sec/min/hr), and Pulse Rate in pulses/sec.

That means you can measure immediate risk as well as accumulated exposure over any time period you choose.

FEATURES
Measuring by pushbutton:
Constant 24/7 radiation level measurement with one button refresh.

Audio Alert Function:
The User-Programmable Threshold Alarm warns you of radiation exceeding dangerous levels. It can be set to sound at even small deviations above ambient.

Tested precision instrument:
Each Gamma-Scout® radiation detector must pass rigorous endurance and accuracy testing supervised by a certified European Institute of Radiation Protection. Each unit receives its own serialized test certificate.

All radiation particle types:
Gamma-Scout® reliably measures alpha, beta, gamma and x-radiation.

Permanent operation:
Gamma-Scout® Survey Meter monitors radiation around the clock. Switch-on/-off is unnecessary, as is battery change.

Low power consumption:
Due to an innovative circuit design, the Gamma-Scout® system consumes almost no power. The built-in battery is guaranteed for 10 years.

Large display area:
Values and settings are shown on the extra-large liquid crystal display.

Menu control:
A simple, easy-to-understand menu guides you through all device functions.

Data storage:
Gamma-Scout® radiation monitor continuously stores recorded pulses in internal memory. Up to 10 years of data storage is possible.

Evaluation by computer:
With our specially designed data capture software, included with Gamma-Scout®, you can download and evaluate exposure data on your laptop or PC.

Compact design:
Gamma-Scout® Geiger counter is shock resistant, compact, light, and easily fits in your hand or pocket.

Easy-to-use analog dosage chart interprets current radiation level to advise you of your immediate exposure time limits.

Real-time ticker function simulates traditional Geiger counter operation. Accelerating cascade tells you when you're close to a radioactive source.
