Graetz - Model GammaTest C - Dose Rate Alarm Unit
From Dose Rate Warning Devices
The dose rate alarm unit GRAETZ GammaTest C has been designed for personal radiation protection when dealing with ionizing radiation. This dose rate warning device has four preset warning thresholds that trigger a visual and audible alarm when exceeded. Below the respective warning threshold, the optical single pulse display signals the increase or decrease of the dose rate by changing the flashing frequency. Easy handling and robust design in pocket format make the GRAETZ GammaTest C a reliable radiation measuring instrument for a wide range of applications.
Highlights
- Robust construction in pocket format
- Four selectable dose rate warning thresholds for individual radiation measurements
- Single pulse display for increase or decrease of dose rate
- Integrated test function for more safety in operation
- Dust and splash water protection (protection class IP54)
Performance Features
- The GammaTest C is a lightweight, rugged, battery-operated dose rate warning device for radiation protection for the detection of gamma and X-ray radiation in the measurand ?*(10) ambient dose equivalent rate.
- The GammaTest C has four warning thresholds that trigger audible and visual alarms when exceeded
- Below the warning threshold, the GammaTest C indicates readiness for operation via the red LED and signals increases or decreases in dose rate as an optical single-pulse display by changing the flashing frequency
- The dose rate warning threshold 25 µSv/h is used in fire department operations to determine the limit of a danger zone according to FwDV 500
- The dose rate warning threshold 40 µSv/h is required in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT) for radiographic testing: For mobile handling, the local dose rate must not be higher than 40 µSv/h
- The splash-proof, anodized aluminum housing provides shielding against electromagnetic influences
- Operating time with one set of batteries at ambient radiation approx. 250 hours in 24 h operation
Embodiments
GammaTest F:
The GammaTest F is a special variant of the dose rate warner, which only has the warning threshold of 25 μSv/h relevant for firefighters in order to simplify handling in emergency situations.
