IP Index:

IP 68 (hermetically sealed housing), IP 67 cable versions

Options:

Additional sensors (rain, wind, weather)
Power supply by solar panels
Seismic qualified version

Autonomous system:

GammaTRACER is an autonomous and hermetically sealed gamma dose rate probe for stationary and mobile use with up to 10 years of battery life. Autonomy can be unlimited with the use of the internal solar panel (in 10 min measurement cycle). UHF, GSM/2G/3G/4G/LTE, radio or satellite modules as well as GPS can be integrated. It is designed for continuously measuring (with adjustable cycle times), recording and optionally transmitting the environmental gamma dose rate to a base station.

Flexible system:

The probe is suitable for routine as well as for emergency application, provides high sensitivity and accuracy and is compatible with further sensors (solar, rain, wind, and so on).

High quality manufacturing:

All GammaTRACER types dispose of a built-in quality assurance system (QA) and operate within a temperature range of up to -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to 140°F). More than 4,000 probes are in use worldwide.

The hermetically sealed probe, including the GM detectors and all electronic components, operates fully autonomously and is independent of any physical connections, thus resisting extreme climatic and environmental conditions. Energy-saving chip technology allows maintenance-free non-stop operation of the GammaTRACER probe. The time resolved measurement values are stored together with the auxiliary and QA parameters. Data download and parameterization can be performed via an interactive infrared or cable port. DataEXPERT, a professional user-friendly database, communication and analyzing software guarantees both simple and safe access to the stored data as well as their powerful visualization and fast, precise analysis. Additional interface possibilities for online and real-time data transmission, ranging from wired modules to sophisticated wireless transmitters, meet a wide variety of user needs.
