The Inspector Alert™ measures alpha, beta, gamma and x-radiation using a 2-inch “pancake” GM detector with high sensitivity to common beta and alpha sources. The easy-to-read digital display shows readings in your choice of mR/hr, CPM, CPS, or µSv/hr. The Total/Timer feature allows timed readings from one minute to 24 hours for precise measurement of low level contamination. An audible alert sounds when the radiation reaches a user-adjustable level. |

Averaging Periods: Display updates every 3 seconds, showing the average for the past 30-second time period at normal levels. The averaging period decreases as the radiation level increases. User can select a fast 3-second averaging period.
Timer: Can set 1-10 minute sampling periods in one-minute increments, 10-50 minute sampling periods in 10-minute increments, and 1-24 hour sampling periods in 1-hour increments
Alert: Beeper sounds the alert; User-adjustable alert level is set using three buttons
Accuracy: ± 15% up to 50 mR/hr; ± 20% up to 100 mR/hr
Anti-Saturation: Readout holds at full scale in fields up to 100 times the maximum reading
Temperature Range: -20º to +50º C , -4º to +122º F
Power: One 9V alkaline battery; average battery life is 2160 hours at normal background, average 625 hours at 1 mR/hr with beeper off
