Nuclear Geiger Counter GammaGuard CT008-F Radiation Detector
*MADE IN CANADA (QUANTITIES EXTREMELY LIMITED)
Custom made specifically for detection of post-nuclear detonation incidents
The CT008-F is a compact alpha, beta, gamma detector. This makes it suitable for identifying radioactive contamination. The CT008-F is sensitive enough to pick up the radiation from household items, but can still measure up to dangerous levels. Unlike pancake Geiger-Mueller tube based instruments, it is light, compact, and durable. It uses solid state technology which offers the ability to withstand air pressure changes without rupturing. It is easy to use and can even connect wirelessly to your phone. The phone provides a rich user interface and allows for time and date stamped data logging with GPS coordinates. The data can be logged to a file on your phone.
On the back is the sensor with an alpha shield. This shield can be closed to take gamma only measurements, or opened to reveal the sensor window and take alpha and beta readings. This shield also keeps the sensor safe during transport.
CT008-F runs on 2 standard AAA batteries.
A smart phone is NOT required to use the CT008-F, but does offer some enhancements for functioning.
