FHZ 691-10 Dose Rate Detector

Intelligent scintillation probe for H*(10) ambient equivalent dose rate over a dynamic range of 9 decades, designed to detect small increases in artificial radioactivity.

The FHZ 691-10 is an intelligent scintillation probe for H*(10) ambient equivalent dose rate measurement, designed to detect small increases in artificial radioactivity in environmental monitoring networks. Used with the FHT 6020P display unit, the probe has PTB type approval for calibration.

  • Detects dose rate increases of approx. 3 % above normal background within one minute of measurement
  • NBR (Natural Background Rejection) separates artificial radiation from natural fluctuations, such as those caused by rain
  • Dynamic range of 9 decades, with a NaI(Tl) low dose detector and a GM high dose detector
  • ADF filter that smooths statistical fluctuations while reacting quickly to changes
  • RS-485 interface and a transfer protocol with very short reaction times, for monitoring networks
  • Extended self-checks of probe functions and surge protection on all inputs and outputs
