The
Rad*Scanner Model 500 is a small, portable
nuclear radiation monitor designed to industrial standards providing
a personal alert to nuclear contamination. The Rad*Scanner Model 500
will give an alarm if the normal background radiation level should
rise and conveniently show the total nuclear radiation exposure on
a six digit Liquid Crystal Display.
The RAD SCANNER
Model 500 will give you an immediate reading
of radioactivity in medical facilities, laboratories, power plants,
emergency rescue sites, scrap metal processors, oil field and pipeline
equipment outfits and environmental testing laboratories. Providing
real-time personal radiation exposure rate levels with a lightweight
package, the RAD*SCANNER responds to alpha and beta particles, gamma
photons and X-rays using a shock-mounted, gas filled detector built
to National Bureau of Standards (now NIST) qualifications. Factory
set to the maximum allowable average value set by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, the RAD SCANNER Model 500 will run in excess of two
months on a single 9 volt alkaline battery. The RAD SCANNER responds
with visible and audible indicators. The durable ABS package with
a stainless steel belt clip weighs less than 5 oz (125 grams) with
battery. Dimensions are 4.15" x 2.4" x 0.85" x (105mm
x 61mm x 22mm).
