Measures alpha, beta, gamma and x-radiation over 3 selectable ranges.
Inquire About this Product
The Monitor 4 is compact, analog radiation detector. A general purpose survey meter capable of detecting alpha, beta, gamma, and x-rays over 3 selectable ranges. Proven and reliable over decades of use in the industry, the Monitor 4 has evolved into one of the best analog radiation detectors of today. Simple and ergonomic , a red count light flashes and a beep sounds with each count detected. Battery check and silent operation with the flick of your thumb.
Applications & Uses: Checking industrial gauges, such as moisture, density, or level gauges containing Cesium-137, Locating Sources, Personal protection, General surveying
