Digital Pocket Radiation Dosemeter
Introduction
The
Digital Pocket Radiation Dosemeter, DIGIDOSE is a semiconductor
detector based, low cost, digital radiation dosemeter.
It provides continuous digital readout of X & Gamma
radiation dose over a wide range (1microSv to 99999
microSv ). It works on a pair of coin type Lithium battery
cells with the battery life exceeding three months if
used for 8 hours a day in a 10 microSv/hr radiation
field. The dosemeter is available in two models, Model
I & II, which differ in the size & type of LCD
display used. In another very low cost variation (RADCLICK),
the LCD display is dispensed with and a beep tone is
produced for every 0.05 microSv of accumulated dose.
