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.
