This Handheld Radiation Alert Detector is ideal for identifying alpha, beta, gamma and x-rays!
**NOTE**
Due to the earthquake and resulting events in Japan, the manufacturers of radiation meters/detectors and Geiger counters are experiencing extremely high demand which affects our backorder lead-times. Professional Equipment is working with those manufacturers to get stock in as quickly as possible. If you have questions, please call 1-800-334-9291.
Features & Applications:
The M4EC Handheld Radiation Alert Detector is a lightweight instrument and small enough to be easily carried in your shirt pocket, and does not require probes or wires. The unit features three ranges for maximum sensitivity, and detects alpha, beta, gamma, and x-rays. A beeping sound and red count lights alert you when an event is detected. Additionally, the M4EC Handheld Radiation Alert Detector offers a more linear reading for gamma and x-rays (above 40 keV).
Features:
- Battery operated, no external wires or probes
- Lightweight and small enough to fit into a shirt pocket
- Feature three ranges for maximum sensitivity
- Geiger tube is industry-standard
- ABS plastic shell
- Vinyl carry case with belt clip
- Operate on one 9V alkaline battery (sold separately)
Applications:
- Hospitals
- Research labs
- Power plants
- Rescue units
