Ram Ion - Portable ion chamber survey meter

Spec sheet - PDF File

RAM ION

The RAM ION is a multi-ranged, “smart” ionization chamber survey meter

A portable ion chamber survey meter with autoranging digital display. Designed for highly stable and accurate measurements of dose rates and integrated dose of gamma, x-ray and beta radiation.

RAM ION Laser

The RAM ION Laser is a multi-ranged, “smart” ionization chamber survey meter with integrated bar-code scanner

Ideal for logging of bar-code location identification and plant  
   survey data, which is then transferred to SMARTS

- Uses computerized calibration software
- 380 memory addresses for survey point data storage.

Measurement range: 0.1 mR/h ŕ 50 R/h (1 µSv/h to 500 mSv/h)
- Dimensions: (w x l x h): 3.9 x 9.8 x 7.5 in. (100 x 250 x 190 mm)
- Total weight: 1.9 lbs. (850g)

It combines an ionization chamber vented to atmospheric pressure, and a micro controller to offer optimal performances and special features.

Detection: beta and gamma radiation
- User adjustable threshold alarm
- Uses computerized calibration software
- Replaces traditional ion chambers for all outage and routine  
   requirements
- Telemetry data using external transmitters for quicker and
   accurate surveys
- Download data to survey mapping software like SMARTS
