FH 40 G NBR Survey Meter

Survey meter with Natural Background Rejection (NBR) that separates naturally occurring radioactive material from manmade radiation and signals the result with a red or green LED.

The FH 40 G NBR combines an FHZ 672 E series scintillator probe with the FH 40 G multi-purpose survey meter. Measuring simultaneously with the FH 40 G extends the measuring range. Stored measurements can be viewed on the display and transferred to a PC via the FH 40 GL-10 interface.

Typical users include first responders, civil defence, fire brigades, law enforcement and special forces, as well as environmental monitoring and remediation.

  • NBR (Natural Background Rejection) separates naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) from manmade radiation
  • Detects an artificial contribution of 10 nSv/h within seconds, even in fluctuating background fields up to 100 nSv/h
  • Quickly locates contaminated material or hidden sources, and detects depleted uranium (DU) materials in the field
  • Tested and approved by TÜV
  • Intelligent ratemeter algorithm (ADF mode) detects small dose rate changes while suppressing statistical fluctuation
  • Windows-based configuration software to enable or hide functions, reducing operator error
