The Monitor 4 is compact, analog radiation detector. A general purpose survey meter capable of detecting alpha, beta, gamma, and x-rays over 3 selectable ranges. Proven and reliable over decades of use in the industry, the Monitor 4 has evolved into one of the best analog radiation detectors of today. Simple and ergonomic , a red count light flashes and a beep sounds with each count detected. Battery check and silent operation with the flick of your thumb.
The Monitor 4EC is an energy compensated, ergonomic radiation survey meter capable of detecting alpha, beta, gamma, and x-rays over 3 selectable ranges. A red count light flashes and a beep sounds with each event detected. The Monitor 4EC offers a linear response for gamma and x-rays (above 40 keV).
