The RS-111 HANDY SCINT is a compact hand held radiation detector specifically designed to quickly determine the location of radioactive material. The high sensitivity RS-111 is an ideal instrument for surveying people, packages or materials, quickly and simply detecting Gamma Ray emitting radioactive sources in various combinations and in most situations.
The small size and light weight of the RS-111 together with the balanced handle, equipped with a single thumb button, allows easy one handed operation. The single ON/OFF button also allows easy set up of a limited number of working parameters.
The RS -111 features a large numeric LCD display showing, user selectable, either actual counts per second (cps) or dose rate (based on equivalence to Cs 137). The visual display is complimented by a loud variable pitch audio tone, proportional to the intensity of the gamma radiation detected, for eyes free searching. The threshold for audio indication is adjustable manually or automatically and reflects the current background. The audio indication can be switched off if required.
For working in potentially dangerous situations, a maximum allowed dose rate or cps rate can be set. If the dose rate or cps rises above this level it triggers an automatic acoustic alarm warning.
TYPICAL USE
• Nuclear facilities
• Scrap metal recycling plants
• Recycling facilities
• Waste management
• Production facilities
