Monitor 4 Survey Meter

A view of some glass buildings from below.
The Monitor 4 Survey Meter is lightweight, ergonomically designed and includes its own carrying case. Used to measure alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray radiation, it provides extremely accurate results with both audible and visual indication. The easy-to-read scale features three ranges for maximum sensitivity and runs up to 2,000 hours on a 9V battery.
Pocket-sized monitor with meter, LED count light, and beeper

  • Monitors alpha, beta, gamma, and x-ray radiation
  • Dual-scale analog meter (CPM and mR/hr)
  • Operating range: 0-50 mR/hr, 0-50,000 cpm
  • Multiplier selections: x1, x10, x100
  • Red LED flashes with counts
  • Audible beep indicates rising radiation level
  • Operates up to 2,000 hours on 9V battery
  • Weighs less than 9 ounces (including battery)

  • Detector: Halogen-quenched uncompensated GM tube with thin mica window 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2 thick
  • Energy Sensitivity: 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% efficiency
    – Detects beta at 150 keV with typical 75% efficiency
    – Detects gamma and x-rays down to 10 keV typical through the end window,
  • 40 keV minimum through the case
  • Accuracy: ±15% of full scale (referenced to Cs-137)
