Monitor 4 and Monitor 4EC Compact Portable Analog Radiation Detectors
The Monitor 4 and Monitor 4EC are compact, ergonomic, general purpose analog radiation detectors / survey meters suited to the detection of alpha, beta, gamma and X-rays. They offer three detection ranges to suit most applications.
In addition to the analog meter, these units also offer visible and audible assistance via a blinking count light and beeping sound that correspond to the detection of an event.
The Monitor 4EC provides a more linear reading for gamma and X-rays above 40keV.
Detectors
- Monitor 4 – Halogen-quenched uncompensated GM tube with thin mica window 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2 thick. Effective diameter of window is 9.1 mm (.36 in.).
- Monitor 4EC – Halogen-quenched GM tube, energy compensated sidewall 2mm thin filter. Thin mica window 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2 thick. Effective diameter of window is 9.1 mm (.36 in.).
Operating Range
- 0-.5, 0-5, 0-50 mR/hr
- 0-500, 0-5,000, 0-50,000 CPM
- 0-5, 0-50, 0-500 ?Sv/hr (SI Scale Meter Option)
Energy Sensitivity
1000 CPM/mR/hr (Cs137)
M4EC is the same as M4 except the energy response for gamma and X-rays through the detector sidewall is flat within +61% or -26% over the range of 40 keV to 100 keV, and within +35% or -17% over the range of 100 keV to 1.3 MeV.
Monitor 4 and Monitor 4EC detect beta at 50 keV with typical 35% detection efficiency and beta at 150 keV with typical 75% detection efficiency.
Accuracy
Typically ±15% of reading (Cs137)
