Automess - Model 6150AD T -Teletector Telescopic Probe
Telescopic probe for 6150 AD 5/6 for measuring X-ray and gamma radiation, and detecting Beta radiation. The telescopic probe of the teletector allows an operator to measure in places that are difficult to reach, as well as increasing the distance to the radiation source and reducing their exposure accordingly.
- Low Range Detector: Beta Gamma end window tube ZP1400 or equivalent, effective length 40 mmm sensitivity approx. 5800 pulses per µSv
- High Range Detector: Gamma tube ZP1300 or equivalent, effective length 8 mm, sensitivity approx. 100 pulses per µSv
- Energy Range and Angular Range: Max. ±40% within: Low range tube: 65 keV - 1.3 MeV, High range tube: 65 keV - 3 MeV and ±45° (preferential direction is perpendicular to the axis)
- Temperature: -30°C to +50°C, deviation max. ±10% referred to indication at +20°C
- Humidity: Nominal range 0 - 95% within specificied temperature range
- Power Supply: 4.75 V out of 6150 AD
- Housing: Aluminium, die-cast, scratch resistant paint, waterproof, protection class IP 67 according to DIN 40050 if telescope pushed together and protective cap applied
- Dimensions: Length 910 - 4120 mm depending on telescope position, Width 130 mm, Height 90 mm

The Teletector Probe 6150AD-t is a portable probe for the Dose Rate Meter 6150AD to measure photon radiation (gamma and X-radiation). Two GM counting tubes placed at the telescope’s end serve as detectors covering a very wide dose rate range. The low range tube is placed behind the window in the front of the tube housing and can also detect beta radiation.
The stainless steel telescope can be continuously extended up to approximately four metres. This allows the distance to the radiation source to be increased and the exposure to be reduced accordingly. Furthermore it helps to measure at places difficult to reach. As long as the key above the probe’s handle is kept depressed, the 6150AD operates with its internal tube. This allows radiation conditions at the user’s place to be checked temporarily.
This data sheet only specifies the Teletector Probe, not the 6150AD meter it is used with. It is assumed throughout this data sheet that the reader is familiar with the 6150AD (see the 6150AD data sheet). Teletector Probes with extensions »/H« or »/E« are designed for Ambient Dose Equivalent H*(10), where the »/E« model only works with »/E« 6150AD models. The German PTB approval only applies to »6150AD-t/E« model.
