Gamma radiation warning light GRAETZ GammaFlash

The Gamma radiation warning light GRAETZ GammaFlash is used to determine and set up exclusion zones when a specified local dose rate of gamma and X-ray radiation is detected. Exceeding the specified warning threshold is clearly indicated visually and acoustically. With its extremely compact and robust design, as well as a magnetic bottom – for attaching the device to metallic surfaces – this dose rate warning device is particularly suitable for use by fire departments, civil defense and disaster control forces.

GammaFlash is a lightweight, rugged, battery-powered dose rate warning device for the detection of gamma and X-rays in the Ḣ*(10) ambient dose equivalent rate measurand.
Detector: Geiger-Müller counter tube with energy filter
It has a fixed warning threshold that triggers a visual and audible alarm when exceeded
The audible alarm can be acknowledged via a pushbutton on the housing perimeter
Below the preset warning threshold, the GammaFlash indicates the functional readiness and battery status via a red LED
By changing the blinking frequency of the optical single pulse display, an increase or decrease of the dose rate is indicated
Customized warning threshold between 7.5 µSv/h and 10 mSv/h can be implemented ex works
Easy to operate even with firefighter gloves on
The plastic housing is jet-proof, oil and petrol resistant
Thanks to a built-in magnet, the gamma radiation warning light can be attached to suitable metal surfaces if required
Possibility of individual labeling of the housing cover

Notice:

In the firefighter version, the GammaFlash is preset to the dose rate warning threshold of 25 µSv/h for determining the limit of a hazardous area
