The Pocket Geiger Counter Radiation Detector monitors Beta, Gamma and X-radiations. The counter emits audible clicks from its internal loudspeaker and registers radioactivity on a compressed scale analog meter up to 10 mR/hr, compacting several ranges into one. In addition to the audible clicks, the speaker beeps at high radiation levels to alert you of obvious danger. The beeping begins at about 20 mR/hr, with intervals between beeps decreasing in relation to field strength, becoming a continuous tone at 200 mR/hr.
The Pocket Geiger Counter Radiation Detector has a single pushbutton which activates the detector only when needed, thus conserving battery power. A LED indicator reassures you of battery condition upon each use. It is ruggedly constructed and continues to operate in a saturation environment. It is affordable, simple to use and all that is needed for a basic determination of whether or not something is radioactive. An easily replaceable, yet long-lasting 9-volt battery is included.
