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.
