Questions & Answers
Question: Does this instrument respond in a continuous reading intensity free from time averaging algorisms? I need relatively second by second intensity readings to monitor exact location of radiation sources in ore (rock).
Hello, The R8008 is primarily designed as an Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and X-ray dosemeter for long-term surveying of radiation exposure. However, it has a CPS (counts per second) feature, which allows you to take instant readings of the measurement area. Unfortunately, this mode will not isolate which isotope is detected; it will only increase or decrease the counts shown on the screen, indicating the presence of radiation in a second-to-second response time. Thank you.
does this come with the software for laptop
Hello Scott, this unit does include the software.
Does this measure microwave level radiation , visible infrared, visible ultraviolet, coming into the home 24/7? What is maximum strength , frequency level? Does it record pulsations, pitch, speed equivalent I can hear in my inner ear due to tinnitus.?
The unit will detect alpha, beta, gamma and X rays. The radiation dose range is 0.0001 to 1000µSv/h. The sensitivity of the unit Alpha: From 4.0 MeV Beta: From 0.2 MeV Gamma: From 0.02 MeV X: From 0.02 MeV Internal memory stores up to 4000 groups of data internally
Why isn't the battery replaceable? The specifications chart says no to the battery questions. Does it run on sunlight?
Hello Johnson, this is likely an error in the listed specifications and we will work to get this corrected. The REED R8008 runs on 4 AA batteries which are replaceable.
Does this product need to be calibrated?
Hello Derrick, Please note that the frequency in which your instrument should be sent in for calibration depends on a number of factors including; -How often your instrument is used -Environmental condition exposure (i.e. Temperature and Humidity) -Your company’s quality program requirements -Your specific application requirements For most customers looking to calibrate their instrument, an annual calibration program is often the choice. We do have some customers who work in rigorous conditions or in an industry (i.e. Aerospace) that would require their instruments to be calibrated several times a year.
The unit does not need to be calibrated Regards
