The STEP survey meter is used for protection level dosimetry in nuclear medicine laboratories and in the environment. Nuclear medicine therapy patients can be checked before release. The instrument is based on a 600 cm3 large volume ionization chamber, which provides high precision and a wide range of health physics measurements. The unit is prepared for chamber volume air density corrections. The chamber can be separated from the display unit and located at a distance of 0.7 m by using the standard extension cable or up to 100 m by using the optional extension cable. The backgroundilluminated LCD display shows the measuring result in large characters and on a bar graph as well as the operating conditions. The STEP basic set comes with a battery operated display unit, a measuring probe and a carrying case. STEP OD-02 features a smoothing algorithm, simultaneous display of dose rate and dose and the indication of arithmetic mean.
Key Features
– Serves for protection level dosimetry in a wide energy range of 6 keV to 15 MeV of X-rays and gamma rays, above 15 MeV an optional PMMA cap is necessary Measures beta rays in a range of 80 keV to 3 MeV Provides wide measuring ranges for radiation protection levels:
– Dose: (0 … 2000) µSv
– Dose rate: 0 µSv/h … 2000 mSv/h
Measures continuous and pulsed radiation
