| Post subject: | Geiger Counter Settings To Match NETC |
We just purchased the "Digital Geiger Counter by Images Scientific Instruments. (The one with a WAND We live in Hawaii and know we are being irradiated. I had my setting on Metric? mR / hr for 1 Min is that correct? 2 weeks ago we were at the beach and my readings were above 500 mR/hr 1 Min , Am I setting it right? NETC alert level is at 100 , is that 100 mR/hr 1 Min or 100 mSv /hr 1Min ? Please help figure this out. We are new to this, device WHAT should my settings be so they are comparable to NETC settings? I have two choices which should I use? Switch one mSv / hr or mR / hr ? Switch two 1 Sec , 1Min or 5Min ? Please help , which setting will give me a some what comparable readings to the NETC map readings just to compare to see if my machine is even close. Thank You So So Much The Glowing Mauian Lightstorm |

GCA-06 http://www.imagesco.com/geiger/img/gca-06W.jpg Should I set it on Imperial or Metric Countable Pulse Resolution & Range 1 Count Per Minute (CPM) - 5000 Counts Per Second (CPS) Radiation Resolution: (Imperial).05 mR/hr Radiation Range: (Imperial) Background Radiation* 18-22 uR/hr - 1000 mR/hr Radiation Resolution: (Metric).0005 mSv/hr Radiation Range: (Metric) Background Radiation* 0.18-0.22 uSv/hr - 10.0 mSv/hr When I set it on Metric my readings are pretty close to NETC. I just want to know what I am doing and I appreciate your help. Define CPM please in lamans talk because when I checked it on line ????Math was not my strong point. as far as calibrating ? basically it gives me these two choices mSv/hr or mR/hr and 1 sec 1 Min or 5 Min when I had it set to mR / hr and 1 Min my readings were close to NETC'S I have an IMac so when I tried to download the program the NETC offers so I can be a "Beacon " here on Maui it wouldn't take. sorry for the bother I really tried to get all my questions answered on line and when I was answered it was all Chinese to me DUH me! and if I am bothering you sorry forget that I even wrote ! Love & Light |
