Description

Monitor 4

The Monitor 4 is compact, analog radiation detector. A general purpose survey meter capable of detecting alpha, beta, gamma, and x-rays over 3 selectable ranges. Proven and reliable over decades of use in the industry, the Monitor 4 has evolved into one of the best analog radiation detectors of today. Simple and ergonomic , a red count light flashes and a beep sounds with each count detected. Battery check and silent operation with the flick of your thumb.

Applications & Uses: Checking industrial gauges, such as moisture, density, or level gauges containing Cesium-137, Locating Sources, Personal protection, General surveying

Detector

Halogen-quenched uncompensated GM tube with thin mica window 1.5-2.0 mg/cm² thick.
Effective diameter of window is 9.1 mm (.36 in.).

Operating Range

0-.5, 0-5, 0-50 mR/hr 0-500, 0-5,000, 0-50,000 CPM or 0-5, 0-50, 0-500 μSv/hr (SI Scale Meter Option)

Energy Sensitivity

1000 CPM/mR/hr (Cs137).
Detects alpha down to 2.5 MeV; typical detection efficiency at 3.6 MeV is greater than 80%. Detects beta at 50 keV with typical 35% detection efficiency and beta at 150 keV with typical 75% detection efficiency. Detects gamma and x-rays down to 10 keV typical through the window, 40 keV minimum through the case.
