RDS-200
Universal Survey Meter
FeatUReS RDS-200
• dose rate survey measurements
• dose measurements
the RDS-200 Meter is an excellent, portable multipurpose
• contamination monitoring (with external probes)
radiation meter for a wide range of applications. It is espe
• area monitoring
cially designed for situations where accurate measurements
• can form a monitoring network with aaM
at low dose rate levels are of importance. It is suited for a
software
wide range of applications in military, civil defense, industrial
• active data transfer with telephone modem
and laboratory use etc. due to its versatile functions and
support
durability.
• programmable reading of dose rate averages
• interfaces for data transfer and external probes the meter has an interface for the external gamma probes
• data logging and historgam downloading to PC GMP-12H/12L or beta/contamination measurement probe
• time based or manually triggered data logging GMP-11/15. a connector for the attachment of the meter to
a PC is located at the bottom part of the meter and equipped
with protective cover.
the RDS-200 utilizes field-proven measurement electronics
and can also bet used as a local display unit with the RADOS
aaM-90 area Monitoring System. Featuring:

• dose measurement range: 0.01 μSv...10 Sv or 1 μrem...1000 rem
• resolution: three significant digits or 0.01 μSv/h on dose rate and 0.01 μSv on dose ( or 1 μrem/h on dose
rate and 1 μrem on dose)
• calibration accuracy: ± 5%, 137Cs , calibration direction and in the calibration field, temperature +20 °C
(68°F)
• dose rate linearity: ± 15% ± least significant number (0.05 μSv/h...10 Sv/h or 5 μrem/h to 1000rem/h)
• *variation of the response due to photon radiation energy (Re) and angle (Ra) of incidence within
± 45° from calibration direction:
- 0.05 μSv/h...10 Sv/h (5 μrem/h...1 rem/h): 80% < Re < +130%(50...1300 keV); 75% < Ra < +125% (65
keV)
- 10 mSv/h...10 Sv/h (1...1000 rem/h): 85% < Re < +115% (80...1300 keV); 65% < Ra < +135% (83 keV)
*note that at energy levels between 50...80 keV overflow alarm is given if dose rate 10 mSv/h or 1 rem/h
is exceeded
Functional Characteristics
• data storage: the data logging interval of the instrument can be set from 10 s to 99 minutes or data can be
manually triggered and it will memorize the 864 last measurement results in its internal memory
