S.E.International Monitor 4-Handheld l Radiation Alert® Detector
a
ß Y X
The MONITOR 4 is a compact, general purpose survey
meter capable of detecting alpha, beta, gamma, and x-rays over 3
selectable ranges. A red count light flashes and a beep sounds with
each event detected. Gamma sensitivity is typical of a pancake G-M
detector: 1000 CPM/mR/hr (referenced to Cs-137).
Monitor 4 Survey Meter Specifications:
Detector
Monitor 4: Halogen-quenched uncompensated GM tube with thin mica
window 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2 thick.
Display
Analog Meter Scale.
Monitor 4 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% detection efficiency.
Detects beta at 150 keV with 75% typical detection efficiency.
Detects gamma and x-rays down to 10 keV typical through the window,
40 keV minimum through the sidewall of the detector.
Normal background is approximately 10-20 CPM.
Gamma Sensitivity:
1000 CPM/mR/hr (referenced to Cs-137)
Energy Sensitivity for the 4EC is the Same as Monitor 4 except the
energy response for gamma and x-rays through the detector sidewall
is flat within +61% or -26% over the range of 40 keV to 100 keV, and
within +35% or -17% over the range of 100 keV to 1.3 MeV.
