Radiation Detector for 
Alpha, Beta, Gamma and X- Rays
 

Monitor 5
The Monitor 5  is a small, handheld  radiation detector which offers excellent sensitivity with its large thin window located in the back of the instrument. The thin window GM detector provides good sensitivity to alpha, beta, low energy gamma and x-rays. The analog readout is displayed with a red count light and a beeper sounds with each count detected. The optional tri-scale meter shows CPS, mR/hr and uSv/hr.

 

radiation monitor
  • Halogen quenched - 1.13 inch window
  • Alpha, Beta, Gamma and X-rays
  • Analog meter, CPM or tri-scale
  • x1, x10, x100 range switch
  • Audible beep
One sievert is equivalent to 100 rem; 
one microsievert (0.000001 Sv) = 0.0001 rem = 0.1 mR


Specifications Geiger Counter Model Monitor 5
Detector  Halogen-quenched, uncompensated Geiger Muller tube with thin mica window, 1.4-2.0 mg/cm2 areal density.
Effective diameter of window is 28.58 mm (1.13 in.).
Display: Analog meter CPM or tri-scale
Optional Tri Scale Meter
Operating Range:
CPS 0-12.5, 0 - 125, 0 - 1,250
mR/hr - 0-0.5, 0- 5, 0- 50 mR/hr
µSv/hr - .0-5, 0- 50, 0- 500
Accuracy:  ± 15% of full scale 
(Referenced to Cs-137)
Gamma Sensitivity: Referenced to cobalt 60, gamma sensitivity is 25 counts/sec per mR/hr
Recommended I-125 detection is for 0.5 mCu and up. Smallest detectable level of I-125 is approx. 0.02 uCi
Sensitivity to Common Isotopes:
Typical GM tube efficiency for 4 pi geometry at contact.
Beta Isotopes Energy Efficiency
C-14 Avg. 156 keV 0.07%
Bi-210 1.16 MeV Max. 20%
Sr(Y)-90 546 keV and 1.12 MeV Beta 18%
Count Light Red LED flashes with each radiation event.
Audio Indicator Internally mounted beeper (can be switched off for silent operation).
Anti-Saturation Meter will hold at full scale in fields as high as 100 times the maximum reading.
Power Requirements One 9-volt alkaline battery. Battery life is min. 200 hours at normal background radiation levels.
Temperature Range -20ºC to 55ºC (-4ºF to 131ºF)
Weight 250 grams (8.5 oz.) without battery.
Size 147 x 72 x 38 mm (5.7 x 2.8 x 1.5 in.).
