GammaRAE II R

The GammaRAE II R is a gamma radiation detector and full-range dosimeter in a single instrument. Designed specifically to meet the needs of first responders, it has the rapid response of a detector and the accurate dose measurement of a dosimeter.

Key Features

  • Sensitive CsI scintillator for excellent search capability and fast response
  • Energy-compensated PIN diode sensor for high dose rate range and accurate dosimeter capabilities
  • Prominent visible, audible and vibration alarms
  • Alerts first responders to radioactive threats
  • Accurately measures accumulated dose to the wearer
  • Immersible in water for easy decontamination
  • Top-mounted, invertable display
  • Continuous digital readout in Rem/hour (μR/h & mR/h) or in Sievert/hour (μSv/h & mSv/h) and counts per second (cps)
  • Two operation keys, simple intuitive programming
  • Long calibration life
  • Two AA Alkaline batteries last up to 600 hours
  • Large, 30,000-point datalog capacity, downloaded via cable-free Bluetooth® connection

Alarms

Time to Alarm <2 seconds
Alarms
  • Loud audible buzzer (85+ dB @ 30 cm)
  • Built-in vibration alarm
  • Highly visible LED lights on both sides of LCD graphic display
Alarm Settings
  • Dose Rate
    • Search Mode: Alarm threshold based on variations in local background level
    • Safety Mode: User-programmable low and high alarm thresholds based on dose rate
  • Dose
    • User-programable low and high alarm thresholds based on dose
    • Stay Time: Alarms vary by time (3 min to 2 hrs, once per minute; <3 min, once every 5 sec; 0 min and beyond, same as dose alarm)
