RADEX RD1503 - Radiation Detector (This model is now replaced by RD1503+)

RADEX RD1503 - Radiation Detector (This model is now replaced by RD1503+)

Product Description

RADEX RD1503 - Radiation Detector was developed for use by the main stream public, for detecting a level of radiation in open air and indoors, as well as for basic verification of radiation contamination of materials and objects.

This device was specifically designed for every-day use by people with no knowledge of radiation dosimetry. It is rugged, inexpensive, and has few options to eliminate confusion.
RADEX RD1503 contains one, low-voltage SBM20-1 type Geiger-Muller counter for beta- and gamma-radiation detection and measurement. This is the same type of counter that is often used in the professional dose measuring equipment.
Energy range scale: MeV 0.1~1.25
Scale range of ambient dose rate equivalent: µSv/h 0.05~9.99
Scale range of exposure dose rate: µRem/h 5~999

The measured result is calculated in 40 seconds cycles. The results are shown in microSievert per hour (microSv/hr).

RADEX RD1503 incorporates the following features:
audio alarm with 3 adjustable thresholds;
continuous measurement cycle;
backlit display;
English language menu.
Requires 2 x AAA batteries (included).
One year Manufacturer's Warranty included (please be aware that all warranty claims are processed by authorized resellers only).
