The TroxAlert is a low-cost radiation survey meter that satisfies the survey requirements of an ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) program. The TroxAlert can be used to survey storage areas and work sites to ensure a safe working environment.
The TroxAlert Radiation Survey Meter is a basic tool designed to fulfill survey requirements for ALARA programs. It utilizes a Geiger-Mueller tube to detect alpha, beta, gamma, and x-ray radiation, displaying results on a scale and LED indicator while providing an audible alarm when radiation is detected. The device features a 9-volt alkaline battery with a life of approximately 2,000 hours under normal conditions.
