Full count rate
Count rate with full container.
GM detector
Geiger-Müller detector.
GM-detectors contain Geiger-Müller counter tubes; they are the
classic detectors used in radiation measuring technique. Due to
the low zero count rate, they are ideally suited for simple and low-
cost limit switch applications.

GMT is used in this user’s guide as short form of GM-detector.
HV
Detector high voltage
Manual
The following parameters can be set to automatic or manual
mode: For the manual mode you have to enter a fixed value in
the respective parameters. See also under „Automatic“.
MBq
Mega-Becquerel
This unit indicates the source activity. Each Bq corresponds to one
decay per second.
mCi
Milli-Curie
This unit is also used for the activity of a source. However, this
unit has been replaced by the unit MBq (1mCi = 37 MBq)
mSv
Millisievert
Dose rate unit
NaI detector
Detector with sodium iodine crystal and FSK communication.
See also hardware manual.
Nuclide / Isotope
Type of radiation source: Cobalt-60 (Co-60) or Cesium-137
(Cs-137) for level measurements.
Parameters
A value stored under a certain code.
Read in count rate
A process that is started by the user in order to determine the
average value of the count rate at the respective level. This count
rate is needed to calibrate the measurement. The count rate is
averaged over a certain time (standard 60 s) to exclude statistical
and process-immanent fluctuations.
Statistical fluctuation
An isotope does not emit the same amount of radiation all the
time. The radiation emission is subject to statistical fluctuations
which are determined and eliminated by the time constant.
Super Sens
Detector with large plastic scintillator and FSK-communication.
See also hardware manual.
Switching threshold
Count rate or percentage value upon reaching the measurement
level
Timeout
Time after which an automatic reset is performed.
Zero count rate
Count rate caused by natural environmental radiation.
