Rados RAD-60 Personal Alarming Radiation Dosimeter

 

 

The RAD-60 Personal Alarming Dosimeter is a precise and reliable instrument for monitoring radiation exposure ensuring the personal safety of the user.  The RAD-60 is used for all forms of radiation exposure monitoring including by those subject occupational radiation monitoring and first responders.  It is an easy to use instrument that is ideal for any individual who wishes to monitor and track his personal radiation exposure due to a nuclear accident or the unexpected release of radiation. 

 

This device is the best solution for those who want to be able to configure radiation dose and dose rate alarms and be able to retrieve their radiation exposure information.  Since the RAD-60 uses off-the-shelf AAA batteries, it is economical to operate and maintain.  Since it is available in both R (Rem) and S (Sievert) versions, it can be used anywhere in the world where reliable radiation exposure monitoring is required.   The ergonomic design includes state-of-the-art technology with built in memory for retrieving radiation dose, even if the unit loses power.  It is unaffected by outside interferences from shock and RF and boasts an easy to read digital display.

 

As your needs grow for a more sophisticated radiation exposure monitoring and tracking system, the RAD-60 can also be integrated into an Access Control System. It can be easily switched into System Mode, for the purpose of tracking Personnel Radiation Dose records and generating reports through the use of the ADR-1 dosimeter reader.

 

With a simple push of the button, the user can:

  • Turn the unit on and off

  • Change the display to read accumulate dose or dose rate

  • select individual alarm levels

  • turn the "chirp" function on and off

  • reset the accumulated dose

  • perform a function and battery test.
