Radiation Measurement
Display Current Radiation
• Pressing the button puts GAMMA-SCOUT
®
into standard mode, and its display shows you
the present radiation in microsievert per hour - not only as a value, but also in the form of a bar
chart. Note that for a small radiation value, this bar chart appears only as a single line. In order to
visualize the volume of detected radiation, there are symbols beneath the bar chart such as >1a
(more than 1 year), <1m (less than 1 month), etc.
• To switch from µSv/h to µRem/h and back, start from “measure radiation” mode. Press the button
and conrm the suggested units with the button. All data will be displayed in the selected units.
Calculate Average Over the Past Day (12:00 am to 12:00 am)
• Pressing the button a second time displays the average radiation over the last day (midnight
to midnight - taken from the GAMMA-SCOUT
®
clock) for a few seconds, again in microsievert per
hour. The H symbol in the display will blink. Note that this function is not available for up to 48 hours
after rst operating the device, or after a resetting.
Automatic Alert Level (w/ALERT version)
• When exceeding the user programmed alert level, GAMMA-SCOUT
®
generates an acoustic alert
and displays the blinking icon. This icon continues blinking until the user shuts it off by pressing
the button twice.
What is a “microsievert”?
In physics, three types of radioactive radiation are known: alpha, beta and gamma radiation. They differ, not only
in their physical characteristics, but also in their effects on humans. To make these three radiation types com-
parable in their effects on humans, a value has been created which denes the biological effects of radiation: it is
referred to as the equivalent dose and its unit of measurement is the sievert. The older unit was called REM.
1 REM = 0.01 Sievert (Sv). Based on the radiation pulses counted, the different components of a radiation mix
are converted into a common measure of biological effect. The basis is Cs-137. Conversion into the equivalent
dose refers to the gamma quantum of the Cs-137 radionuclide with quantum energy of 662 keV. The conversion
takes place due to physical reasons with different factors dependent upon the amount of impulses per time; in the
environmental eld, the factor 150 impulses per minute = 1.0 microsievert per hour.
