RA DIAT ION DET ECT ION RDS-30™ RADIATION SURVEY METER A general purpose digital handheld radiation survey meter commonly used in a range of industries RDS-30 meter is microprocessor controlled. The user interface consists of one push button and an easy-to-use menu structure that displays information on the LCD of the meter. The six digit display shows the dose rate and various messages. Different alarm situations are indicated by a combination of audio-visual effects on the LCD and a buzzer (dose rate, dose, low battery, defect, dose rate overflow). RDS-30 meter provides user configurable (with RDS-CSW) list of alarm levels for dose and dose rate. Fixed or multi-level alarm options. It is possible to store dose rate values in the histogram memory for later analysis of the readings. The use of RDS-CSW software is required for downloading the data to a PC via IrDA port.
