Features

• consists of a radiation detector (depending on the type of ionization radiation) and one of consoles (at the Customer's choice): UIK-09 (a metal case, a built-in accumulator block), UIK-10 (a plastic case, the built-in accumulator block, OLED-display), UIK-11 (a plastic case, the built-in accumulator block, LCD-display).
• console UIK-09 (at the Customer's choice) can be equipped with an embedded detector BDBG-201-RS, which expands the functionality features;
• automatic detection of a type of connected detector and activation of measurement modes for this type of detector;

• a possibility to select the measurement algorithm and set the threshold setting for each measurement mode;
• the audible and visual alarms about exceeding of the thresholds during measurement process;
• a simplicity and reliability, an ability to equip with additional detector;
• a short time of measurement and fast automatic adaption to change in radiation situation;
• the unique algorithms of search, localization of sources and fields of ionization radiation;
• work in a wide range of temperatures in the field, to carry logs of wells and boreholes;
• a radiation survey of the area with geo-references, stored in the nonvolatile memory of up to 4000 measurement results with possibility of transfer to PC and imposition to electronic maps (additional option);
• an embedded communication module Bluetooth which provides data exchange between the console and the 
detector by the auxiliary device MOB-01 (the additional option).
