Description: |
The probe detects ionizing events and transmits pulses to a data logger or other computer. The radiation levels are measured in counts per minute (CPM). A background count is normal due to naturally occurring sources both terrestrial and celestial. Generally 25 to 100 CPM is considered typical depending on location and environmental factors. With the presence of increased ionizing radiation the count rate will increase accordingly. If a count rate is very high or exceeds 20,000 CPM for example it may be necessary to apply a dead-time correction in the program of the computer or data logger. Dead time is 136 μs. When using the probe to detect low levels of unusual ionizing activity dead-time compensation will not be a concern. |
