Features :
RADAX SM 5000
is a Digital Handheld Radiation Survey meter to detect Gamma and X-
ray radiation.
With
RADAX SM 5000
you can:
w
Detect and Monitor Gamma radiation from Radio-active materials and X-ray
machines.
w
Check for leakage radiation
RADAX SM5000
uses a Geiger-Mueller (GM) detector tube to detect radiation. The GM
Tube contains ionization gas which generates pulse of electrical current when radiations
pass through the gas and causes ionization. These electrical pulses are counted
electronically and are termed as counts per minute (CPM) or they are displayed in milli-
roentgens per hour (mR/Hr). In SI units, the pulses are counted per second ( CPS) or micro-
Sieverts per hour (µSv/Hr).
RADAX SM5000
displays radiation level detected in both mR/hr and µSv/hr,
simultaneously on its LCD display. The Digital survey meter is based on micro-controller
technology and simple to use.

Operation :
There are two touch switches on the Survey meter. Power & Enter switch and Setting switch. Press Power switch and keep
pressed till display is on. Display will show reading in mR/Hr & µSv/Hr. Bring the Survey-meter near the Radiation source
with the Detector sign pointing towards the Radiation source. The survey meter will display the reading in both mR/Hr and
µSv/Hr.
While detecting the radiation, the audio buzzer gives out chirping sound. At low level radiation, the frequency of chips is
low. As the radiation level increases, the chirps become more frequent. At very high radiation or very near the source, the
chirping turns in to a whistling sound.
The buzzer can be switched off when required. Press the Setting switch and keep pressed. Select option Buzzer On, Press
Power/Enter switch to save the setting. To switch off Buzzer, select Buzzer Off option. To switch off the Survey meter, press
power switch and keep pressed till Power Off sign appears.
