Radiometer dosimeter RKS-01V-SOLO

Radiometer dosimeter RKS-01V-SOLO

The RKS-01V-SOLO radiometer-dosimeter is designed for radiation monitoring of the environment, workplaces and vehicles during inspections carried out by teams of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergencies, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, intelligence services, customs and border control authorities, and the army.

The RKS-01V-SOLO can be programmed with preset ADER threshold levels of gamma X-ray radiation, neutron radiation, as well as surface flux density of beta and alpha particles. The device has automatic selection of ionizing radiation detectors and measurement ranges. Sound and light alarms are activated when the preset ADER/flux density threshold levels are exceeded.

The device is included in the State Register of the Republic of Kazakhstan under no. KZ.02.01.02587-2024
Manufacturer: SOLO LLP
Country: Republic of Kazakhstan

 Warranty period: 12 months
After-sales service: during the entire period of operation

  • Description

    The dosimeter is a wearing device designed to measure:

    • ambient equivalent dose rate of gamma radiation and neutron radiation;
    • ambient equivalent dose of gamma and neutron radiation;
    • alpha radiation flux density;
    • beta particle flux density.

    The dosimeter consists of a control panel and detection units depending on customer requirements. Two detection units can have separate housings or share one housing.

    The flattening of nonlinearity of the energy dependence of the sensitivity of scintillators is performed by an analog-to-digital converter. The device performs basic radiation control tasks in accordance with the Hygiene Standards of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Guidelines for Radiation Safety (HS SEGRS) (NRB) and the of the Sanitary Rules of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Guidelines for Radiation Safety (SR SEGRS).

  • Features
    • Automatic selection of detection units, measurement intervals and ranges;
    • Sound and light alarm;
    • Digital readout backlight for use in the dark;
    • Built-in charger to charge the battery:
      • from the power adapter;
      • from the built-in solar cell;
      • from a 12V car battery.
    • Multi-level battery charge indicator;
    • Weather-proof, dust-proof and water-proof (external emergency gamma X-ray radiation detector can be submerged underwater at depths up to 0.5 m);
    • Measurement of emergency ADER levels of gamma X-ray radiation with detector delivery to a distance up to 30 m;
    • Analog indicator of radiation intensity;
    • Up to 100,000 measurements can be recorded to non-volatile memory with transfer to a PC via USB port and a GPS module for recording geographical coordinates (GPS module supplied in line with customer requirements);
    • Built-in digital readout for recorded measurements.
    • The device can be operated while wearing personal protective equipment (rubber gloves).
    • Wide operating temperature range (–40°С ... +50°С).
    • The device uses highly sensitive scintillation detectors for detecting beta and gamma radiation with a semiconductor PMT (photoelectronic multiplier tube).
