Ranger

Radiation Alert Ranger Handheld Multi-Radiation Survey Meter

Engineered for professionals who demand laboratory-grade precision in a portable format, the Radiation Alert Ranger is a high-performance nuclear radiation monitor. Its compact and lightweight build delivers reliable, real-time data, making it the perfect tool for environmental surveys, industrial facilities, and demanding field operations.

Comprehensive Detection Capabilities

The Ranger provides exceptional sensitivity across a wide spectrum, detecting alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation. To eliminate the need for manual calculations, the device features built-in efficiencies for common isotopes, automatically converting and displaying precise activity measurements in Becquerels (Bq) and Disintegrations Per Minute (DPM).

Intuitive and Portable Design

Designed to maximize situational awareness and rapid response, this digital survey meter features a highly visible backlit LCD display, a red LED count indicator, and an audible beeping alert for detected counts. It can be easily tailored to meet specific compliance and operational needs through:

  • Customizable Alarm Thresholds: Set specific limits to trigger alerts.
  • Adjustable Counting Timers: Configure exact durations for timed samples.
  • Swipe Survey Compatibility: Utilize the optional wipe test plate for surface contamination checks.

Advanced Data Management & Connectivity

Managing your survey data is seamless with the included Free Observer USB Software for Windows. This PC software allows you to download historical data, manage records, and easily configure computer-based alarms.

For wireless functionality in the field, an optional Bluetooth® module pairs the Ranger® with the Radiation Alert® Observer BLE app (available for Android). The app empowers users to:

  • Monitor real-time radiation readings and view detailed descriptions.
  • Conduct timed counts remotely.
  • Append accurate GPS location data to field measurements.
  • Mirror the instrument’s physical alarms directly onto your smartphone.
  • Save, organize, and share survey files on the go.

Energy Sensitivity Detects Alpha down to 2 MeV. Detects Beta down to .16 MeV; typical detection efficiency at 1 MeV is approx. 25%. Detects Gamma and X-rays down to 10 KeV through the detector window. 3340 CPM/mR/hr (137Cs). Smallest detectable level for 125I is .02 μCi at contact.
Built-in Efficiencies Sulfur (35S), Strontium (90Sr/y), Cesium (137Cs), Phosphorus (32P), Carbon (14C), Iodine (131I), Cobalt (60Co), and Alpha
Display Graphic LCD with Backlight
Anti Saturation Meter will hold at OVER RANGE in fields as high as 100 times the maximum reading.
Averaging Periods This radiation detector display updates every 3 seconds. At low background levels, the update is the average for the past 30-second time period. The timed period for the average decreases as the radiation level increases.
Outputs USB for use with Free Observer USB Software for PCs. Bluetooth Wirelessly connects the instrument with an Android mobile device for use with Free Observer BLE App and optional Bluetooth module available for use with Observer BLE APP and CBRN Responder.
Count Light Red LED flashes with each radiation event.
Power Indicator Internally mounted beeper (can be switched off for silent operation)
Power Requirements USB Power or Two (2) AA alkaline batteries (included). Approx. 800 hrs @ background.
Accuracy Reference to Cs137
