Used / Pre-Owned Digital Geiger Counters

THE GCA-06W and GCA-07W DIGITAL GEIGER COUNTERS are the only Geiger counters you will ever have to purchase. They have a proven track record detecting and measuring nuclear radiation in hospitals, medical research, college laboratories,industrial settings, transport containers, top soil, granite table tops, scrap metal, oil fields, objects and interior spaces.

APPLICATIONS and USES: Personal radiation detection: Survey meter: Education and nuclear experiments: Emergency Services: Domestic preparedness: Post-accident response. Compliance Verification and Radiation Screening for wastes and other materials.

LCD DISPLAY: The 16 x 2 character LCD displays radioactive count and radiation level in mR/hr or mSv/hr. Time selection switch allows Counts Per Second (CPS) or Counts Per Minute (CPM) mode.

CASE SIZE: The GCA-07W measures 7 ½" (length) x 4.1" (width) x 1 ¼" (height). The GCA-06W measures 5 ¾" (length) x 3 ½" (width) x 1 ¼" (height).

INTERNAL SENSOR: The internal sensor makes it easier to search materials and to detect surface contamination.

COUNTING RANGE: 1 Count Per Minute (CPM) To 10,000 Counts Per Second (CPS).

RADIATION RANGE: 0.001 mR/hr resolution to 1000 mR/hr Range (Imperial Measurements); 0.01 uSv/hr resolution - 10 mSv/hr range (Metric Measurements).

NIST TRACEABLE CALIBRATION: Factory calibration using an NIST traceable radiation source to insure accurate radiation measurements.

POWER: For mobile operation a 9V battery (not included) may be used. A 110-220 VAC wall transformer power supply is included.

DETECTS IONIZING RADIATION: Alpha particles above 3 MeV in energy. GM tube has a thin mica window that allows alpha radiation to be detected. Beta radiation above 50 KeV; X-Ray and Gamma radiation above 7 KeV.

INTERNAL SENSOR constructed using an American made LND 712 Geiger Mueller (GM) Tube. The GM tube has a .38 effective diameter. Alpha radiation end window comprised of 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2 mica.

LCD DISPLAY is a 16 character by 2 lines display. Displays count and equivalent radiation level.

CPS MODE: LCD displays second by second count and current radiation level in millirads (mR) per hour (mR/hr) Imperial or in millisivets (mS) per hour (mS/hr) Metric. Switch selectable.

CPM MODE: LCD display minute by minute count and background radiation level in microrads (uR) to millirads per hour (mR/hr) Imperial. Or in microsivets (uS) to millisivets per hour (mS/hr) Metric.

I/O OPTIONS: Headphones. External Speaker. External Power. 3.5mm Data Port for WIN PC and microcontroller interface. WIN PC requires optional 3.5mm to USB data cable.

DATA OUTPUT PORT: The 3.5MM stereo socket outputs either Serial Data (default) or a TTL logic pulse for each radioactive particle detected. Jumper switch selection. The serial output is the counts per second sent via USB cable (not included) to our Windows PC Geiger Counter Graphing program (not included) for charting and recording the measured radiation over time.

SECONDARY INDICATORS: Audio (clicks) and visual (LED) included. Also includes a headphone jack and a power jack for external power. A 110 VAC to 9V wall transformer power supply is included. 9V battery (mobile operation) not included.

POWER: For mobile operation a 9V battery (not included) may be used. A 110-220 VAC wall transformer power supply is included.

Why NRC Certification is important !

An NRC certification certifies your Geiger counter has passed 10-CFR-34 and 10-CFR-35 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) calibration standards.

Manufacturers want to compete on price, not on our NRC certified accuracy.

Don't believe a manufacturer's unproven claim of accuracy.

The NRC certificate, certifies Geiger counter for regulatory inspections.
