Typical Specifications

Typical detection range

Commonly detects alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, with specific sensitivity depending on the detector tube.

Power supply

Typically battery-operated for portability, often using standard AA or 9V cells.

Display type

Units of this type commonly feature an analogue meter for instantaneous readings and an audible clicker.

Detector type

Most frequently employs a Geiger-Müller tube, often an end-window type for broader detection.

Measurement units

Typically displays readings in counts per second (cps) or counts per minute (cpm), and sometimes dose rate units like µSv/hr.

Portability

For this class of equipment, units are highly portable, designed for handheld operation.
