Guarantee
We guarantee the ALPHAiX for 12 months. The prerequisite, however, is the
professional handling which is customary for electronic measuring instruments and
computers. Intervention in the unit renders the guarantee null and void. Repairs are
carried out only by the manufacturer.
This also applies to the various slip-on probes (Geiger-Müller radiation detection
tubes). For end window counter tubes care must be taken that the end window
diaphragms are not contacted even by water or steam. Diaphragm damage results in
total loss of the probe.
For transport and long journeys we recommend the impact-resistant plastic suitcase
offered in our scope of available products.

EDP measurement and analysis program
The current ALPHAiX version contains an RS-232 interface for transferring data to a
PC. All measured data including those stored in the ALPHAiX 3000 (up to 40 values)
can thus be transferred.
Scope of delivery for the electronic data processing (EDP) and analysis program
includes a Windows program diskette/CD, instructions for use and a connection
cable for the PCs COM1/COM2 port.

Available Counter Tube Types
Five different counter tubes for connection to the ALPHAiX 3000 are available:
Counter tube type A
for measuring Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation. This counter tube is
especially suited for educational facilities (chemistry and physics classes)
Counter tube type G
for measuring Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation. This counter tube is
especially suited for laboratories. Its bigger window makes it five times more
sensitive than the type A counter tube.
Counter tube type B
an immersion tube for measuring Beta and Gamma radiation. Besides surface
measurements this tube is especially suited for measurements in bulk
materials and liquids.
Counter tube type FSZ
an immersion tube for measuring Beta and Gamma radiation. This version is
bigger than tube type B. Its braided one meter connecting wire is attached
permanently and waterproof. Measurements in liquids and to a depth of up to
one meter are thus possible. It is the most sensitive counter tube by far.
Counter tube type D
for measuring Gamma radiation. Preferred for dose measurements. This
counter tube is application specific and available on request. Specify the
length of the braided connection wire for this made to order product!
Separate operating instructions are available for the counter tubes A, B, G and FSZ.
