Overview of Features The MicroCont II can be operated with large area gas flow proportional detectors,
Beta-Plastic or with Gamma-Plastic scintillation detectors
RGZ large area gas flow proportional detectors (for alpha and beta measurement)
• detection area (177 cm 2 )
• integrated gas supply (75 cm 3 )
• simple gas flushing via push button, refill via single use cans with liquid propane-butane
RBP170 Beta-Plastic detector (for beta measurement)
• no gas supply necessary
• detection area (176 cm
2 )
• can be used at temperatures down to -10 °C
RPD Gamma-Plastic detector (for gamma measurement)
• no gas supply required
• detection area (176 cm
2 )
• can be used at temperatures down to -10 °C
• The compact MicroCont II housing, made from impact-resistant ABS, is splash-proof (IP 63) and can
be decontaminated. It is colored yellow, ergonomically shaped, and features a handle with integrated
on/off button as well as a membrane keyboard with large keys.
• The measurement results are indicated on the illuminated LCD in analogue format as
bar chart and by acoustic single pulse indicator (switch able).
• The MicroCont II is powered by standard baby cells for a 200 hour operational period
(battery check in LCD display). External power supply is available as option.
• The alarm set points can be freely preselected over the whole range.
Acoustic alarms can be acknowledged.
An optical alarm is displayed on the LCD by alarm segment.
• Activity can be determined accurately by long-term measurements:
• in timer mode with a selectable measurement period of up to 600 s
• in counter mode using pulse selection, automatic termination of measurement
References RADOS MicroCont II is a result of product development over many generations of
RADOS and Herfurth handheld contamination monitors.
The MicroCont II monitor of the CheckPoint:Area™ family has been used to measure
contamination in applications as diverse as
• nuclear medical applications
• nuclear research and power applications
• homeland security, defence and emergency response applications
• industrial applications such as the oil exploration industry
