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.
Hello Scott, this unit does include the software.
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
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.
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
