Description

Detailed Overview

The Tracerco™ T401 radiation contamination monitor is engineered to be the ultimate handheld solution for detecting and measuring radioactive contamination. Its lightweight design ensures comfort during prolonged use, while its rugged build guarantees reliability in demanding environments. Beyond ease of use and cost efficiency, the T401 delivers operational dependability and practical functionality, including a direct surface activity mode and peak reading capability. These added features empower users to achieve clearer, more accurate measurements with minimal effort, making radiation monitoring not just safer, but smarter.


Sensitive surface contamination monitoring for alpha and beta particles on personnel and equipment.

  • This instrument is designed to detect and measure low levels of surface contamination (alpha, beta, and gamma), crucial for post-job checks, decommissioning activities, and general radiation safety.
  • It provides an immediate warning via an audible alarm and a clear digital readout of contamination levels in both counts per second (cps) and Bq/cm².
  • The detector probe is a single halogen thin window Geiger Muller tube, offering high sensitivity.
  • The probe is detachable with a 1.5 meter cable and rotatable for flexible surveying of internal and difficult surfaces.

Benefits

  • Digital bar graph meter display in the range of 0-1,000 cps
  • Digital numeric display provides automatic direct translation to Bq/cm2 for 14+ pre-programmed nuclides, natural and man-made
  • Detachable radiation probe with up to 1.5 m / 4.9 ft of extendable cable
  • Rotatable probe for internal surface measurements

FAQ: T401 Non-IS – Radiation Contamination Monitor

What is a Radiation Contamination Monitor used for?

It is a handheld instrument used to detect and measure surface contamination (alpha, beta, gamma particles) on equipment, personnel, and surfaces in areas where radioactive materials are handled.

What does “Non-IS” imply?

Non-IS means it is Not Intrinsically Safe, and therefore, it cannot be used in hazardous (flammable/explosive) environments.

**Errors and omissions excepted (E&OE)
