Geiger Counter DX-2 0-100 mR/hr Range Radiation Monitor Meter Detector

Description: DX-2 New and Improved Model! 5 YR WARRANTY! Made in USA The DX-2 model is best suited for HIGH LEVELS of detection and is NOT NECESSARY for 90% of applications. Hobbyists, rock hounders, antique collectors, etc., would be best to purchase the DX-1 model ***PLEASE READ ENTIRE AUCTION*** Upgrades for the New DX-2 Model include a new latching button! The new button is latching/ hands-free (push once and it is on; push again and it is Occasionally, we will send out units which are private labeled and may have another name other than "RDX Nuclear" on it. They are all exactly the same aside from the name. No other product offers such a GREAT warranty and the DX models are MADE IN THE USA. Do you know if you are being exposed to harmful radiation? The DX-2 affordable hand-held portable radiation meter is small enough to go anywhere and as sensitive as the $1000 professional models since DX-2 detects minuscule amounts of gamma, beta or X-rays. The unit’s GM tube detects all gamma and beta isotopes released by nuclear power plants such as iodide and cesium. It is ideal for Homeland Security and for detecting environmental / industrial contamination. It can be used to screen for radiation in air, food and water. Designed for nontechnical persons the DX-2 uses a very sensitive 200VDC, Geiger Müller tube detector; and yet offers easy one-button operation. Visual and audible warnings are made by clicks from an internal speaker and given by the compressed-scale, analog display. Powered by one 9-Volt battery (included). An Audible alarm is triggered when radiation levels exceed 100 mR/hr, increasing in frequency in proportion to the radiation level. An LED indicator alerts you that meter is on and of battery condition upon each use. The DX-1 was developed after the Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown and was the most popular Radiation Detector that was sold after the Chernobyl Nuclear Meltdown for official and private citizen use. Each meter includes an instruction manual that contains basic operating information and information on the various types of radiation. The DX-1 instruments will last many years. Each unit comes with a 5-year warranty on the electronics and a 1-year warranty on the GM tube! Any warranty work is covered directly through the manufacturer, Industrial Test Systems, Inc. SPECIFICATIONS Sensor: Halogen-quenched Geiger-Müller detector tube (Gold Standard) with 3mm glass wall (Density is 28mg/cm2) Dual Scale Display: Analog logarithmic Display Range: 0-100 mR/hr and 0-1000 µSv/hr (Cs-137) Factory Calibration: Cesium 137 (gamma) Sensitivity: About 10 cpm/0.01mR/hr (1µSv/hr) referenced to Cs-137 Accuracy: ±20% Alert: Meter gives audible alarm when Radiation is above 100 mR/hr Indicator light: Red LED confirms unit is operating and battery power is OK Beeper: Chirps (clicks) for each gamma or Beta detected Power: One 9-volt alkaline battery Dimensions: 3 1/4" X 6 3/4" X 1 1/2" thick Weight: 216 grams (7.6 oz) including battery Give yourself an advantage. This affordable hand-held radiation detection device is ideal for Homeland Security, detecting environmental / industrial contamination, education, and rock & mineral enthusiasts This radiation monitor is new, and features a BLACK case. The design features an analog meter (as opposed to a digital display). The analog display is preferred by many people over the digital display for it's visual, interpretive, and aesthetic advantages. Plus unlike digital units, readings are real-time and instantaneous. Analog is just cool! The monitor is used by simply pressing and holding the button. That is it! The LED just above the push button indicates that the unit is on and also indicates battery condition. Audible clicks are heard when the unit is operated (the frequency of which increase as radiation levels increase), as well as an alarm which is triggered when radiation levels exceed 100 mR/hr. This design has been around for 20 years, and is tried and true! Manufacturer Name: RDX Nuclear/ Industrial Test Systems, Inc, USA. Comes with Instruction manual that contains basic operating information as well as information on the various types of radiation. This is a quality instrument made with only the best components! Instrument will last many years (we have seen these last 10-15 years). You will be satisfied or your money back! 9V Battery included! This unit comes with a 5 year warranty on the electronics and a 1 year warranty on the tube! Any warranty work is covered directly through us. WE STAND BEHIND OUR PRODUCT, IF YOUR UNIT SHOULD EVER NEED REPAIR, WE CAN TAKE CARE OF IT! FAQ's *Packaging: Please note that our Geiger counters are shipped in wholesale packaging; NOT consumer packaging. Units are wrapped in bubble wrap and are shipped in a plain, white box with an instruction manual. There is NO FANCY RETAIL PACKAGING, LABELS, ETC. This is a scientific product - not a consumer electronic device from Wal-Mart! *Marks on the plastic case: Some of our more discerning customers have contacted us about small marks or "scratches" on the side and face of the plastic case of our the unit. These are NOT SCRATCHES, TOOL MARKS, or FLAWS OF ANY KIND. These marks are created in the molding process and should not be deemed to be flaws or signs the unit was used. These marks do not affect the performance or durability of the unit whatsoever. We only sell BRAND NEW units, fresh off the production line. Again, all of the DX-1 and DX-2 cases have these mold marks and are created in the plastic molding process. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions prior to bidding. *Normal operation: when the button is pushed and held, the unit clicks approximately once every 2-3 seconds even in the absence of a known radioactive source. The geiger counter does not contain any radioactive material itself. The DX-1 and DX-2 units are very sensitive and detect background or cosmic radiation; again approximately one click per 2-3 seconds is normal. Of course, in the presence of detectable ionizing radiation, the frequency of the clicking will increase. Alpha Radiation: Our units are sensitive to Beta, Gamma and XRay. Our units are NOT sensitive to Alpha particles! You can look up materials (e.g. Thorium, Tungsten, etc.) on Wikipedia to find out what type of particle is emitted. If you know the element or make-up of the material you are testing, look it up! Many isotopes emit only one kind of particle. Make note of the type of particle emitted by the material you are testing if at all possible before drawing conclusions. If an element or isotope of an element is an alpha emitter, the unit may register an elevated reading but no claims are made re. alpha detection. It should be remembered that Alpha particles are a highly ionizing form of particle radiation, and have low penetration depth. They are able to be stopped by a few centimeters of air, or by the skin or even a piece of paper. When in doubt, search the web!
