1.2.1.2 Geiger-Müller Detector
The dose rate is determined by either the scintillation detector or the internal Geiger-Müller tube. When
the dose rate at the scintillator surface exceeds 200 µSv/h, the Geiger-Müller tube will perform the
dose rate measurement. This tube is suited for measuring dose rates up to 1 Sv/h. (

detector)
If the Geiger-Müller detector kicks in, you are already in an extremely dangerous level of radia-
tion. You should increase distance and shielding between yourself and the source. Additionally, you
should restrict the time you stay within this field to an absolute minimum.
1.2.1.3 Neutron Detector (Optional)
If your instrument has an optional
3
He neutron detector, this detector will continuously run and acquire

1.2.2 Overview
Figure 1 , p. 9 shows a top view on the RADEAGLET instrument. The RADEAGLET features a 3.5
"
color
display presenting the various screens of the software.
The keyboard below the screen has 3 keys ( I ) you can press with your thumb while holding the
instrument.
A vibrator is embedded in the handle to give tactile feedback during measurements. It is triggered by
detection events in the
DETECT MODE and vibrates during alarm states which are programmable by the
user. Please refer to the SETTINGS section to learn how the vibrator can be switched on and off. The
speaker is positioned directly under the keyboard area. When the system encounters an alarm condition,
the speaker will emit acoustic signals indicative of the alarm condition.
