Radiation Alert® Sentry EC Dosimeter & Ratemeter

The Radiation Alert® Sentry EC Radiation Dosimeter & Ratemeter is ruggedized, has vibrating and audible alarms, and collects accumulated exposure in the on-board memory. Set alarms and download data with the FREE SentryCom Software. 

The Radiation Alert® Sentry EC is a Personal Alarming Dosimeter/Ratemeter designed to ensure the safety of personnel that work in occupations with potential x-ray or gamma exposure. 

The pocket sized unit has an energy compensated tube for linear response to gamma and built in memory for recording data points for tracking accumulated exposure. The included SentryCom Software enables you to generate incident reconstruction for analysis. The software also permits you to easily set the vibrating and audio alert to your desired levels for dose (>1.0 mR/10 μSv) and dose rate (>1.0 mR/hr/10 μSv/hr).

Use the audio switch to choose between audible clicks with each count received or discreet silent mode.
