Southern Scientific - Model Radhound XI -Hand-held Digital Radiation Meter
Radhound XI is an advanced hand-held survey meter with an internal dose rate detector for x-ray and gamma measurement.Simple and easy to use
We take great care to ensure our instruments are very easy to operate. The menu on the Radhound XI can easily be locked by the user to ensure only basic options are available, giving greater security and protection against accidental setting changes.
Alarm
Radhound XI has an adjustable alarm threshold. Additionally separate alpha and beta alarms can be set. The sounder is loud and clear, and is suitable for use in many different environments. A symbol flashes on the display when in alarm.
Scaler timer
Radhound XI has a scaler time mode, allowing the integration of count for a preset time (or time to a preset count). Additionally in dose rate mode, time to dose can be indicated.
Self Test
Radhound XI automatically checks its health on turn on. It checks the high voltage, battery level, keyboard and sounder.
SCA mode
Upper and lower discrimination can be set for specific energy measurements.
Over range
Detector current measurement allows over-range detection to prevent count saturation. The maximum count rate can be limited in the menu.
Long battery life
The alkaline battery version uses two standard 1.5 V C-cells. Alternatively a lithium ion rechargeable version is available. The screen has a battery level indicator in all counting modes.
Rugged care
The Radhound XI case is waterproof to IP65, chemical resistant and can be safely wiped clean. A tough aluminium case with impact resistant polymer ends means it will stand up to the rigors of daily use.
