The RDS-80 Surface contamination meter is a versatile contamination detector which has been designed for medicine nuclear services and nuclear laboratories involving a possibility for abnormal contamination levels.

The digital, hand held pulse rate meter is suitable for personnel who need to locate and detect contaminated surfaces / objects during their work.

the functions comprise contamination measurements with alarm functions and automatic convertion to surface activity value and additionally surface contamination measurement with a possibility to store the histogram events into the meter's internal memory.

Features
- Wide measurement range : up to 100 000 cps or 1 000 000 Bq/cm²
- standard surface contamination measurements in cps or Bq/cm²
- Contamination measurements with histogram function
- Visual and audible alarms
- Handy and easy to use design
- Software for parameter setting, histogram readings and nuclide calibration

Radialogical characteristics
- Radiation detexted : Alpha >2MeV, Beta emax >100 KeV, gamma and x-raysfrom 5KeV to 1,3 MeV
- Detector : end window GM tube, 1,5-2mg/cm²
- MICA window active surface 15,2cm²
