SVG2 RadiacMeter

NATO-approved handheld ratemeter for gamma and neutron radiation, ruggedised for the military and first responders, with an external probe for alpha, beta and gamma contamination.

The SVG2 is a lightweight, battery-powered ratemeter with low power consumption, designed for measurements after nuclear incidents or attacks. It displays both the current gamma dose rate and the integrated gamma dose, on a large backlit LCD with an analogue trend indicator and digital readout.

The SVG2 System consists of three groups: the SVG2 Kit, a Supplementary Kit for measuring samples, and a Radiation Protection Kit with an NBR probe for high-sensitivity detection of hidden gamma sources and alpha and beta contamination.

  • NATO approved, complying with all relevant MIL STDs concerning TREE, NEMP and EMV
  • Approved semiconductors detect initial gamma and neutron doses and residual gamma dose rate and dose – a MOSFET element and PIN diode stay sensitive even when the SVG2 is shut off
  • External ABG probe for alpha and beta contamination, with discrimination between alphas, betas and gammas
  • Adjustable alarm thresholds for all modes, with red flashing LED, built-in speaker or earphone
  • Manual and automatic data storage, with transfer to a computer over an optical serial interface
  • Connects to vehicle board power, computer and navigation system (GPS)
