This section contains the general information about dosimeter RadiaCode-101. Later in the document,
the dosimeter RadiaCode-101 is also referred to as "device" and "dosimeter".
General view of the device is shown below:
RadiaCode-101
1.1 Device purpose
Portable dosimeter RadiaCode-101 is designed to assess an ambient background radiation and a level of
radiation from various substances and objects (any suspicious objects and surfaces: building materials,
antiques, vehicles, soil samples, etc.). It assesses the radiation situation by the power of ionizing
radiation, reacting to X-rays, gamma radiation and a flow of beta particles. It also able to visualize the
energy spectrum of the absorbed photon radiation.
1.2 Device features
·
Instant reaction to changes in the radiation environment thanks to embedded detector based on CsI
(Tl) scintillator and solid-state silicon photomultiplier in conjunction with an adaptive software
processing of incoming data.
·
Providing continuous assessment of the radiation environment, the results can be viewed on display at
any time the device is turned on.
·
Measurement results can be viewed in form of dose rate, count rate, accumulated dose and energy
spectrum of absorbed photon radiation.
·
Measurement results can also be transferred to a computer or a smartphone and can be saved in
external cloud storage.
·
Binding of measurement results to coordinates of a research area, displaying the results on Google
maps (when connected to smartphone).
·
Long-lasting standalone operation from built-in Li-Pol battery – up to 500 hours.
·
Large volume of built-in non-volatile memory – up to 1000 hours of a standalone registration;
·
Parameters for assessing the detected ionizing radiation can be viewed in various units: Sv (Sievert), R
(Roentgen), CPS (counts per second), CPM (counts per minute).
·
Measured dose rate value is displayed along with its error level.
·
Dose rate, count rate and accumulated dose are displayed with an additional graphic scale.
·
Alarm sound and vibration signaling – both on dosimeter and a smartphone.
·
Additional alarm light signaling on dosimeter.
·
Display backlight with automatic turn-on in darkness.
·
Automatic rotation of display image according to device orientation.
·
Increased splash and dust protection of dosimeter case – class IP64.
