Radiation Area Monitor (mR/h)

The Model 7008 RT is a wall-mounted radiation monitor designed to meet the specific needs of radiation therapy. It is designed to operate continuously from an AC power line. In the event of power failure, the built-in, continuously trickle charged NiMH battery automatically switches in to begin supplying power immediately, assuring interruption-free operation at all times.

The monitor features a digital display of radiation rate, audible and visual alarms, and alarm indicator, alarm setpoint adjustability over the entire range, and self diagnostic functions such as low battery, overrange, detector saturation and detector failure conditions. A green status light is a positive indication of normal instrument operation.

A flashing red light with 180˚ visibility and a red LED indicator below the digital display provide the visual alarm. The audible alarm (which may be disabled with a switch) consists of a single short beep at the beginning of the alarm mode.

The optional Model 7008 R remote alarm unit (Item #’s 337-111 & 337-112) duplicates the alarm indication functions of the main unit It features a green status light, a red light for high alarm, and Sonalert for audible alarm with a disable switch. It is supplied with a 50-foot cable.
