    Description

    A compact search device with a telescopic tube for quick detection and localization of alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation sources.

    The device features an alpha, beta, gamma-sensitive Geiger-Muller counter with a mica window. A big display with luminescent backlight simultaneously indicates units of measurement, measurement errors, threshold level, and real time. Analog indicator of radiation intensity facilitates the localization of radiation sources.

    STORA-ABG allows storing up to 1000 measurement results in non-volatile memory, view them on the indicator and transfer the results to a personal computer via Bluetooth in real-time mode.

    New software “RadReader” has been developed for operation with the STORA-ABG dosimeter-radiometer.

    Purpose of Use

    • measurement of ambient dose equivalent rate (DER) of gamma and X-ray radiation (hereinafter – photon-ionizing radiation)

    • measurement of surface beta-particles flux density

    • measurement of surface activity of beta-emitting radionuclides

    • measurement of surface alpha-particles flux density

    • measurement of surface activity of alpha-emitting radionuclides

    • indication of pulse counting speed from the detector of alpha-beta-gamma radiation

    Features

    • Alpha-beta-gamma-sensitive Geiger-Mueller counter with mica window.

    • Energy-compensating filter, which allows to obtain a reliable energy dependence of the radiometer readings when measuring photon ionizing radiation in the energy range from 12 KeV to 3 MeV.

    • Large display with luminescent backlight, which provides simultaneous display of measurement units, measurement errors, threshold level, real time; and an analog indicator of instantaneous radiation intensity.

    • Ability to perform measurements with a preset error.

    • Prompt evaluation of gamma background within 10 seconds.

    • Automatic subtraction of gamma radiation component when measuring beta radiation parameters.

    • Automatic subtraction of gamma and beta radiation components when measuring alpha radiation parameters.

    • Programming of threshold levels of the alarm system activation for each parameter of measured radiation.

    • Automatic setting of measurement intervals and ranges.

    • Audio signaling of each registered gamma quantum, alpha or beta particle with the possibility of its deactivation.

    • Two-tone audio alarm of exceeded programmed threshold levels.

    • Recording in non-volatile memory up to 1000 measurement results.

    • Viewing the measurement results previously recorded in non-volatile memory on the indicator, as well as transfer the information to a personal computer via Bluetooth.

    •  

      Two AAA batteries.

    • Four-level indication of the battery discharge.

    • New RadReader software has been developed to work with the device.
