Ranger - Radiation Alert Ranger Meter
From Radiation Dosimeter Geiger Counters - Rados Dosimeters
Surveying for NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) contamination, Gross wipe counting, Contamination surveys of packages, equipment, people, etc., Regulatory inspections, Scrap Metal Screening, Low energy radionuclide detection. (Read further down on Specifications).
Description
The Ranger offers maximum performance in a lightweight, rugged solution for surveying at the facility or in the field. The Ranger has been designed for industrial environments, but it still has all of the features you've come to love in the lab.
The Ranger is a small, handheld, microprocessor-based instrument which offers excellent sensitivity to low levels of alpha, beta, gamma, and
x-rays and has built in efficiencies for common isotopes to calculate activity in Bq and DPM. It has a backlit digital display, a red count light, and a beeper that sounds with each count detected.
Other features include selectable alert levels, an adjustable timer, and an optional wipe test plate for swipes. Internal memory and the free Observer USB Software that allows you to download your data, set computer alarms, and calibrate your instrument!

Built-in Efficiencies
Built-in Efficiencies
Sulfur (35S), Strontium (90Sr/y), Cesium (137Cs), Phosphorus (32P), Carbon (14C), Iodine (131I), Cobalt (60Co), and Alpha
Display
Graphic LCD with Backlight
Anti Saturation
Meter will hold at OVER RANGE in fields as high as 100 times the maximum reading.
Averaging Periods
This radiation detector display updates every 3 seconds. At low background levels, the update is the average for the past 30-second time period. The timed period for the average decreases as the radiation level increases
Outputs
USB for use with Free Observer USB Software for PCs
Bluetooth for use with the Free Observer BLE App for Android.
Count Light
Red LED flashes with each radiation event.
Audio Indicator
Internally mounted beeper (can be switched off for silent operation)
Power Requirements
USB Power or Two (2) AA alkaline batteries (included). Approx. 800 hrs @ background.
Accuracy
Reference to Cs137
Typically ±15% from factory, ±10% with NIST Source Calibration NIST Calibration Additional
Selectable Alert Settings
mR/hr .001 – 100 and CPM 1 – 350,000. Pulsating beeper sounds the alert. Adjustable alert levels are used for mR/hr / CPM, and µSv/hr / CPS. 70db @ 1m. Alarm will sound when in Timer Mode when set alarm threshold is reached.
