Radiation dosimeter 6150AD

gammaX-rayBattery

The 6150AD is a calibratable dose rate measuring device in a robust, watertight die-cast aluminium housing. The built-in counter is used to measure photon radiation (X-ray and gamma radiation). As the letters “AD” in the designation indicate, the device has an analogue and digital display with automatic range switching. Warning tones and the acoustic single pulse detection are emitted via a piezo sounder, which is integrated in the housing. A connector pin of the probe socket serves as a serial interface and can be used to transfer and evaluate the device display (dose rate) to a PC. The 9 volt battery (IEC 6LR61) included in delivery lasts for approx. 3000 operating hours. The probe socket on the left side allows for the connection of external probes. When a probe is connected, the internal counter of the 6150AD is automatically switched off and it is then measured with the detector of the probe. The 6150AD automatically recognises the probe type (e.g. display “ext 18” when connecting a probe 6150AD-18) and selects display areas and units according to the probe type. No fixed allocation between the probe and device has to be observed. The probe cable can be up to 100 m long. There are two detectors with different dose rate ranges to choose from, each as a “basic” version or with “additional features”. This results in four different models, which are summarised in the table below (the earlier models 6150AD3 and 6150AD4 are no longer mentioned because they have been replaced by 6150AD5 and 6150AD6):
