Radiation Alert® MC1K

Radiation Alert® MC1K

When you need an analog high range meter, this is the choice. The ergonomic MC1K is a handheld survey meter using a built-in energy compensated GM detector. It detects gamma and x-rays up to 1000 mR/hr over 4 selectable ranges.

Detector
Energy compensated halogen-quenched GM tube.

Operating Range
X1 position 0 – 1 mR/hr or 0 – .01 mSv/hr
X10 position 1 – 10 mR/hr or 0 – .1 mSv/hr
X100 position 5 – 100 mR/hr or 0 – 1 mSv/hr
X1000 position 50 – 1000 mR/hr or 0 – 10 mSv/hr

MC1K Energy Sensitivity
Detects gamma and x-rays down to 40 keV. Response is flat from 40 keV up. Normal background, approximately 4 CPM.

Accuracy
Typically ±15% of reading (Cs137)

Range Switch
X1, X10, X100, X1000.

Audio Indicator
Internally mounted beeper (can be turned off for silent operation).

Anti-Saturation
Meter will hold at full scale in fields as high as 100 times the maximum reading.

Power Requirements
9-volt alkaline battery up to 2,000 hrs at normal background
