Mazur Instruments PRM-7000 Geiger Counter - Detect, Measure and Monitor Nuclear Radiation - (PROTECTIVE NYLON CASE INCLUDED!) 100% Positive Feedback Seller HONEST - RESPECTFUL - NO HASSLES! USA Orders Shipped UPS or USPS Priority Mail International Orders Shipped Express USPS Mazur Instruments PRM-7000 Dual Language: English and Japanese Measures beta, gamma and x-radiation 0.001 - 200mR/hr Range Internal Data Logging Visual and Audible Indicators Display Units - uR/hr, mR/hr, uSv/hr, CPS and CPM 5-Year+ Battery Life with user-installable standard-sized 9-Volt Battery Always-on Monitoring of Present, Average, Maximum and Minimum Radiation Levels Backlit, Two-Line LCD Display Carrying/Protective Case Included Supports headphones and external speakers External Data logging output in industry standard CSV format with optional USB cable (NOT INCLUDED). Compellingly priced PRM-7000 provides essential nuclear radiation awareness during a nuclear accident, incident or emergency Designed by Mazur Instruments and manufactured in the USA, the PRM-7000 Geiger counter and nuclear radiation monitor includes abundant I/O options including support for headphones, external speakers, external power and USB data exchange (Requires Optional 3.5mm to USB Adapter Cable). The PRM-7000 is built upon the same long battery life, high quality, made in the US, platform as the PRM-8000 and PRM-9000. The instrument is designed to similar specifications as devices used by firefighters, HAZMAT teams, paramedics and other first responders to address the radiation hazards they face. Unlike other instruments in this price range, the PRM-7000 can be calibrated to the official international standards of accuracy required for regulatory work. Note, the PRM-7000 does not detect alpha particles and is not suitable for testing food. For reference, the PRM-9000 is 7.7 times more sensitive than the PRM-7000. The PRM-8000 is 2.2 times more sensitive than the PRM-7000. The 7000 is intended to offer a higher quality feature set relative to low-cost, poor quality (in our opinion) imported units that are based on Russian or worse - Chinese knocked-off GM tubes. These competitive low-cost units also are not suitable for food testing and also do not detect alpha particles. The PRM-7000 is an outstanding choice for those concerned with nuclear accidents, war or terrorism and brings key radiological awareness to almost any budget. We also believe it’s also a great backup unit to keep in a boat, RV, second home, etc. All PRM accessories can be used with any of the models. The PRM-7000 is built upon the same long battery life, high quality, made in the US, platform as the PRM-8000 and PRM-9000, which have been the choice of governments, organizations and individuals around the world. The instrument is designed to similar specifications as devices used by firefighters, HAZMAT teams, paramedics and other first responders to address the radiation hazards they face. Unlike other instruments in this price range, the PRM-7000 can be calibrated to the official international standards of accuracy required for regulatory work. Not The Best For Testing Food Note, the PRM-7000 is not the best choice for testing food – please consider the PRM-9000 The PRM-9000 is 7.7 times more sensitive than the PRM-7000 to gamma nuclear radiation and is best for detecting lower levels of contamination in items quickly. No Geiger counter is exceptional for detecting trace contamination in food, but the PRM-9000, with its pancake tube is the better of the two for scanning food. Mazur Instruments uses only genuine detector tubes, made in the US, by LND in all of its products and does not rely on imported, cloned or “knock-off” detector tubes present in some lower priced products. Accurate, reliable, made in the USA, the PRM-7000 Geiger counter is an ideal solution for individuals, health physics professionals, educators, researchers, outdoor enthusiasts and rock collectors. Unique Monitoring Capability The instrument is designed to continuously collect measurements and statistics enabling complete environment assessment. This vital capability is not available on similarly priced products. Using only one key, users can scroll through several screens that display present, average, maximum and minimum measurements in uR/hr, mR/hr, uSv/hr, Counts per Second (CPS) or Counts per Minute (CPM). This nuclear detector not only records the maximum radiation measured, but also displays the time and date at which the maximum reading occurred. Conventional Geiger counters require the user to be looking at the radiation meter to capture such events. Supports English and Japanese The two-line, alphanumeric display supports both English and Japanese languages promoting ease-of-use and concise measurement. The display is backlit to support low-light conditions. Industry Leading Battery Life The battery life of this radiation detector and monitor is over 6-years under normal conditions from a single, readily available, 9-volt lithium battery that is user-installable without soldering. The supplied standard alkaline 9-volt batteries, available virtually everywhere, provide over 3-years of life under normal conditions. Data Logging and USB Connectivity With over 100K bytes of internal data logging memory included, this Geiger counter can autonomously (without the need for a PC) store up to 91,466 minutes or hours of time-stamped measurements. These measurements can then be uploaded later to a PC in CSV format for analysis. A user-settable dose rate alarm sounds an audible alert when the measured radiation level exceeds that of the alarm level setting.

Why Own a Geiger Counter? The links in the text below provide independent background information on the topicAs Heard on National Radio: “Mazur said he developed handheld Geiger counters so consumers and hobbyists could be aware of radiation levels in the things around them. If you don't have some sort of instrument... you're completely a hundred percent certain that you have no idea what's in your environment," he cautioned. Mazur shared a report about elevator buttons in France that were made from recycled metal containing nuclear waste, as well as a story about radioactive metal tissue boxes sold by a major home goods chain. A week spent near one of these 'hot' tissue boxes was equivalent to getting a chest x-ray, he revealed.” With a Mazur Instruments PRM-7000 You Can: - Check granite countertops, water filters, air filters, building materials and other items in your home for radioactive contamination - Check for radioactivity inantiques, watch and clock dials, antique pottery, smoke detector, lantern mantels, etc. - Monitor and maintain awareness amidst a nuclear accident or emergency - Test for radioactive contamination of food - Check for radioactivity in metal objects in your home or office that could be made of recycled radioactive materials - Check for leaks or possible exposure if you work in or near an X-ray lab in a medical facility or medical office suite - Check for environmental levels of radioactivity near a nuclear power facility - Test the soil and environment for dangerous levels of radioactivity, if are in close proximity to uranium mines - Monitor personal levels of radiation due to radiation therapy, brachytherapy or other medical procedures that rely    on radioactive  substances ___________________________________________________________________ About Geiger Counters Nuclear radiation is a normal part of our planet and the cosmos. It is also a by-product of man-made actions and activities. The unfortunate catastrophe in Japan has created a new sense of urgency for personal radiation measurement to an entirely new generation of post-Cold War individuals. Against this backdrop we will provide a fundamental description of how a Geiger counter detects nuclear radiation. First a few words on radiation, and a particular type called ionizing radiation. Radiation is all around us. The sun radiates energy, radio stations radiate electromagnetic waves and radiators in apartment buildings radiate heat to keep residents warm in cold weather. However, nuclear radiation is a different type of radiation known as ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation alters the structure and, by association, the electric charge of individual atoms by a process known as ionization. The substances that produce ionizing radiation are said to be radioactive. There are four types of ionizing radiation – alpha, beta and gamma radiation as well as x-radiation (x-rays). Generally, an alpha particle can travel no more than one to three inches in the air before stopping, and can be stopped by a piece of paper. However, they can pass through a thin mica window. As we will see later, this property of mica is very important in radiation measurement. Beta radiation can pass through a sheet of paper and some clothing, but not through thin metal or glass. Beta particles can damage skin, however, both alpha and beta radiation are most harmful when inhaled or ingested. Gamma radiation occurs naturally in nature and is almost identical to x-rays. Generally, they can travel into and often times through anything. Gamma particles can be shielded with several feet of water or concrete, several inches of steel, or a smaller amount of lead. X-radiation is man-made radiation with a number of valuable uses in medicine and dentistry. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation of the same nature as light and radio waves, but they are also ionizing. They can penetrate a variety of materials, including body tissue. The shielding techniques for x-rays are similar to those for gamma radiation. This is why the x-ray technician will wear a lead apron when taking x-rays. ___________________________________________________________ International buyers please note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
