| Question: Why does the RadEye PRD show such a low dose rate at background, compared to the RadEye G or other Survey Meters? |
| Answer: At normal background, there is a contribution of about 5 µR/h due to cosmic radiation. GM & proportional tubes as well as ionization chambers are very sensitive to this nuisance background. The RadEye PRD (using Natural Background Rejection (NBR) technology) is much more sensitive to gamma radiation, so the cosmic radiation contribution is suppressed by about 95 %, thus the signal to noise ratio is improved accordingly under low gamma background conditions! |
|
| Question: Which RadEye model is better at giving true dose rate and why? |
| Answer: The RadEye G is better at calculating true dose rate since it uses a GM tube and has wider range detection to gamma. The PRD is meant more as a detection device to detect gamma sources and to determine origin and whether it is natural. |
|
| Question: What testing has been reported? |
| Answer: CE, ANSI N42.17, ANSI N42.20 section 5.3, IAEA accepted, DNDO testing & Mil-STD-810F/507.4. |
|
| Question: Can the unit's operation be verified before making a measurement? |
| Answer: A 5 micro curie Cs-137 radioactive check source, Thermo model CS7A, can be used to verify operation. The alarm will sound at a distance of about 1 foot from the check source. |
|
| Question: How do you locate contaminated material? |
| Answer: Turn on the RadEye in an area away from any suspected radiation. The base line background radiation is learned and the alarm low levels are set automatically. Survey all accessible surfaces as close as possible. The alarm will sound when activity above background is detected. |
|
| Question: How is the fastest response time for the PRD model achieved? |
| Answer: Activate the (Alarm-NBR) mode and the (Count Rate) mode. |
|
| Question: Can the RadEye units be decontaminated using standard decontamination methods? |
| Answer: Yes. Removable surface contamination can be decontaminated with a cloth, mild soap and water. |
|
| Question: Can a RadEye measure Beta dose? |
| Answer: The RadEye G and RadEye PRD are gamma and x-ray photon radiation detectors. Beta radiation can be measured indirectly by detecting the Bremsstrahlung and x-ray radiation that result from the beta particle interaction with matter. The RadEye is calibrated for gamma and x-ray dose and not beta dose. |
|
| Question: Is there wireless capability? |
| Answer: Yes |
|
| Question: What is the sensitivity of the RadEye PRD? |
|
Answer:
Count rate for Cs137 (662keV) 1.5 cps per uR/h or 150 cps per uSv/h
Count rate for AM241 (60keV) 30 cps per uR/h or 2000 cps per uSv/h
|
|
| Question: What is the sensitivity of the RadEye G? |
|
Answer:
Count rate for Cs137 (662keV) 0.017 cps per uR/h or 1.7 cps per uSv/h
Count rate for AM241 (60keV) 0.020 cps per uR/h or 2.0 cps per uSv/h

| Other accessories are available, please inquire by calling +1-800-274-4212 |
|
| Question: What is the energy range of the PRD and G models? |
| Answer: 45 keV - 1.3 MeV for the G. 60 keV – 1.3 MeV (detection from 30 keV) |
|
| Question: Can the RadEye be used as an Area Monitor? |
| Answer: Yes, easy to mount wall-mounted box complete with an external alarm (has optical and acoustical signaling), which can be remotely acknowledged. Relay outputs available. |
|
| Question: Does the RadEye have data logging capability? |
| Answer: Yes, 1600 data points (mean/max) of dose rates and count rates are recorded with time stamp from a real time internal clock. Retrospective can be performed using the RadEye software. Additionally, the last 250 alarms are recorded separately. |
|
| Question: How long does the battery last? |
| Answer: 600 hours of continuous operation with 2AAA batteries. Assuming continuous operation, 15-30 AAA cells/year = $30/year |
|
| Question: What are the alarm capabilities of the RadEye? |
| Answer: Two alarms (low and high) for count and dose rate can be set. Alarm is indicated by audible annunciation, flashing LED and built-in vibrator. |
|
| Question: Can it produce audible clicks for regular operation like the old hand held survey meters? |
| Answer: Yes |
|
| Question: What is the weight of the RadEye? |
| Answer: 160g |
|
| Question: What is the size of the display, what details are displayed at any given time? |
| Answer: It is an LCD display, 11/4 by 3/4 inch. Battery level, temperature, count rate or dose rate, mode of operation and a bar-grap showing current levels with alarm thresholds indicated by arrows. |
