KOWOTONE 3 Personal Radiation Alarm

Description

The KOWOTONE 3 personal radiation detector is a reliable warning instrument for ionizing radiation. Gamma and X-ray radiation is detected by the integrated Geiger-Mueller (GM) tube.

Ionizing radiation is indicated both visually and acoustically by a red LED and a buzzer. With increasing dose rates the warning signals become more frequent. The dose rate warning threshold for the continuous alarm is factory set to 250 µSv/h* (25 mR/h*).
