Ranger EXP
Radiation Alert Ranger EXP: Advanced NORM Survey Meter
The Radiation Alert Ranger EXP is a professional-grade, handheld nuclear radiation detector specifically engineered for the enhanced detection of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) and low-level radiation. Compact and portable, it delivers laboratory-grade performance for environmental monitoring, industrial facilities, laboratories, and demanding field operations.
High-Sensitivity Detection
- Broad Spectrum: Provides high-sensitivity detection of alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation.
- NORM Optimized: Specifically designed for an enhanced response to low-energy and naturally occurring radioactive sources.
- Direct Activity Readouts: Built-in efficiencies for common isotopes automatically calculate activity in Becquerels (Bq) and Disintegrations Per Minute (DPM), eliminating the need for manual math and ensuring accurate assessments.
Portable & Configurable Design
Built for real-world application, the Ranger® EXP ensures high situational awareness both indoors and outdoors. It features a bright backlit digital LCD, a red LED count indicator, and an audible beeper that signals every detected event for immediate feedback.
- Selectable Alarm Thresholds: Easily tailor alerts to meet specific safety requirements and regulatory workflows.
- Adjustable Counting Timers: Configure precise time intervals for specialized survey protocols.
Seamless Data Logging & Connectivity
The Ranger EXP comes standard with Free Observer USB Software for Windows, allowing users to download, store, and review measurement data, as well as configure alarms via a computer interface.
For advanced field capabilities, an optional Bluetooth® module pairs the device with the Radiation Alert® Observer BLE Android app. This wireless integration empowers users to:
- Monitor real-time measurements with clear, detailed descriptions.
- Perform and track timed counts remotely.
- Attach precise GPS location data to radiation surveys.
- Mirror the instrument’s physical alarms directly on a smartphone.
- Save, export, and share comprehensive survey files instantly.
Specifications
