Normal Values of Exposure to Radiation, Limit Values
For individuals with professional exposure to radioactive sources in the EU, there are two legal
upper limits:
Dose rate limit is 6 mSv p.a. = 3 µSv/h (assuming 2,000 working hours per year), Category B
Dose rate limit is 20 mSv p.a. = 10 µSv/h (assuming 2,000 working hours per year), Category A
(An exclusion zone exists starting at 3 mSv/h)
The natural environment in Heidelberg, Germany has a radiation level of about 0.1 - 0.2 micro-Sv/h
Below the digits showing the measured value is a bar chart illustrating the detected dose is illustra-
ted. The symbols state that one can be exposed to this radiation for longer than 1 year ( >1a) be-
fore the legal maximum of 20 mSv p.a. is reached. Higher radiation shortens this time of exposure.
Operating Range
GAMMA-SCOUT
®
has been conceived for monitoring (constant monitoring with log) normal working
and environmental locations. Very strong gamma radiation loads, above 1000 µSv/h (5,000 times
normal radiation in Heidelberg), cannot be measured with this technology. Should this occur,
“Overow” and an alarm symbol will appear in the display. Data above the measurement limits
is marked with (*) in the download table. Reset icon by pressing button twice.
Device with Rechargeable Batteries (“RECHARGEABLE”)
For customers using the GAMMA-SCOUT
®
above 10 µSv/h in a laboratory (or preferring a rechar-
geable power supply), we constructed the RECHARGEABLE model. This model needs a different
power supply, and is therefore equipped with a rechargeable battery. Charging starts automatically
when the GAMMA-SCOUT
®
is connected to a PC via a USB port (or with the power supply unit
included).
Charging time with the power supply unit is ca. 8 hours. An internal charging circuit prevents over-
charging. The charge status is displayed by pressing the button.
Full charge = 4.0 V. Models Standard and w/ALERT show about 3.6 V.
