Inquire About this Product

Introducing the Radiation Alert Ranger®, the pinnacle of nuclear radiation detection technology that seamlessly combines performance with unparalleled portability. Whether you're surveying facility or venturing into the field, the Radiation Alert Ranger® stands as a reliable companion, designed with industrial environments in mind while retaining all the features cherished in laboratory settings.

Compact and lightweight, the Radiation Alert Ranger® is a handheld digital survey meter that sets the bar for sensitivity across alpha, beta, gamma, and x-rays ensuring comprehensive coverage for your radiation detection needs. Equipped with built-in efficiencies for common isotopes, this model goes the extra mile by calculating activity in Becquerels (Bq) and Disintegrations Per Minute (DPM).

The Radiation Alert Ranger® boasts a user-friendly interface featuring a backlit digital display, a red count light, and a distinctive beeper that signals each count detected, enhancing your ability to respond promptly to radiation levels. Selectable alert levels, an adjustable timer, and an optional wipe test plate for swipes provide further flexibility. allowing you to tailor the device to you specific requirements.

But the Radiation Alert Ranger® doesn't stop there. Included with your purchase is the Free Observer USB Software(compatible with Windows only), enabling you to effortlessly download and manage your data while setting up computer alarms for added convenience.

For an enhanced experience, the optional Bluetooth module opens up a world of possibilities. The Radiation Alert Ranger® seamlessly integrates with the free Radiation Alert® Observer BLE app available for download from the Google App Store. This app empowers you to display real-time readings with descriptions, conduct timed counts, append GPS data, and send your saved survey files. What's more, any alarms set on the instrument will be mirrored on you android device, ensuring you stay informed and in control.

Elevate your radiation detection capabilities with the Radiation Alert Ranger®- where cutting-edge technology meets user-friendly design, providing peace of mind whether in the lab, facility, or in the field.

Applications & Uses: Surveying for NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) contamination, Gross wipe counting, Contamination surveys of packages, equipment, people, etc., Regulatory inspections, Scrap Metal Screening, Low energy radionuclide detection
