4. RC2 Handheld Dose Rate Meter

The Basic RC2PLUS automatically sets an alarm threshold over the total background count rate average upon each startup. This allows the RC2PLUS to detect very low radiation levels even when hidden by shielding such as scrap metal, waste, or other dense material. The RC2PLUS utilizes a large internal, high grade PVT scintillator to maximize sensitivity. The RC2 plus is an effective handheld detector that utilizes a large PVT plastic scintillation detector in order to provide sensitivity to Gamma and Beta. Operation of the RC2 plus is fully automatic and designed to allow fast and easy inspection of areas, containers or vehicles that might contain radioactive materials. The RC2 plus contains a state-of-the-art micro-controller and internal high speed electronic circuitry designed to automatically set the lowest achievalbe alarm level and to continuously monitor system operation in order to maintain consistent optimum performance. The RC2 plus is equipped with an internal rechargeable battery pack that eliminates the need for stocking and changing conventional batteries. In the event that radiation is detected a varying audio tone along with a vibrating handle will activate to help locate the source of radiation.
