Description

The beta surface contamination monitor, DS 501, is a portable and stand-alone device, intended to simply and rapidly measure the intensity of b, X and g radiation emitted by a contaminated surface.

The device consists of a box containing the power supply, the electronics and the display. The probe is mechanically fixed to the end of a telescopic pole, and is electrically connected to the box via an extensible cable. The four Geiger Muller detectors with an ultra-thin mica window detect b radiation as well as X and g radiation. The reading is displayed on an analog galvanometer on a logarithmic scale. An audible alarm, the intensity of which is proportional to the contamination level, makes it easier to monitor the measurements.

The DS 501 is very easy-to-use, even for non-specialist personnel. The ergonomic aspect, in particular the balance between the box and the telescopic probe was carefully designed to ensure ease of use in monitoring floors, walls and various surfaces from a distance.

The device can be decontaminated.
