About the Calibration Process

 

CD V-742
Pocket Dosimeter and Zeroing Unit Combo
[0-200R range]

The direct-reading pocket dosimeter is a portable instrument designed to measure the total accumulated dose of moderate and high levels of gamma radiation. The instruments make use of a small quartz fiber electroscope as an exposure detector and indicator. An image of the fiber is projected onto a film scale and viewed through the eyepiece lens. The scale is calibrated in roentgens (R) and may be read by looking through the eyepiece toward a lamp or other source of light. A CD V-750 zeroing unit must be used in conjunction with the dosimeter to set the instrument to zero.

The CD V-742 measures exposures from 0-200 roentgen (R).

This combination package consists of (3) CD V-742 pocket dosimeters and (1) CD V-750 zeroing unit.

While the CD V-742 dosimeters do not require batteries, the CD V-750 zeroing unit requires (1) D-sized battery.

We strongly recommend acquiring a copy of FEMA's 'Radiation Safety In Shelters' along with this device. The book describes the use of these specific instruments in considerable detail and makes an excellent reference manual. The book can be found on our Products page HERE, or free online HERE.
