SubscribeThe SVG 2 is a hand-held, hardened micro-processor controlled radiation detector, based on state-of-the-art semiconductor technology.
Equipped with integrated sensors for gamma and neutron radiation detection, an external personal dosimeter, and an external /-probe.
Additional probes, like an extended /--probe or external vehicle g-probes, can be connected. The base instrument is easy to handle and is particularily distinguished by its low weight and power consumption. Not only the current -dose rate but also the integrated -dose over a certain time can be displayed. Moreover, the initial and assimilated dose of n- and -radiation is measured by an internal dosimeter - even if the instrument is shut off. Alarm thresholds for all the modes are adjustable.
For the mounted use in vehicles, the SVG 2 will be connected to two external g-probes, which are permanently attached on both sides of the vehicle. Due to its unique design, the SVG 2 is capable of performing any thinkable detection task in a nuclear contaminated terrain.
