The RadGM is a highly sensitive gamma radiation meter with a wide measurement range. The device was engineered for continuous operation even under extreme meteorological conditions. The instrument have a closed housing, it does not have external physical buttons and can only be controlled remotely. It can be installed on monitoring stations, vehicles or even on aerial vehicles. In industrial applications it can measure the level of solid and liquid materials in different containers and silos. Due to the special algorithm applied in the instrument close to background level radiation increases can be detected as well without raising the number of false alarms. The RadGM can be connected to a PC, data collector unit or PLC via standard industrial RS-485 connection.
