Popular dosimeter / radiometer distinguished by its reliability and a wide choice of detectors suitable for all main applications of dosimetry and radiometry. As a result of modernization in 2008, the DKS-96 was equipped with a large graphic display, improved software and wide service functionality (see “features”). Two models of the DKS-96 control unit are available – UIK-05 and UIK-06.
measurement of dose and ambient equivalent dose-rate (hereafter dose and dose-rate) H*(10) and H*(10) of continuous and pulsed gamma and X-ray radiation;
measurement of alpha and beta radiation flux density;
measurement of dose H*(10) and dose-rate H*(10) of neutron radiation;
measurement of gamma radiation flux density;
search and localization of radioactive sources and contaminations;
measurement of gamma radiation flux density and dose-rate in boreholes and liquid media;
radiation survey of territories with fixing of geographical coordinates using GPS sensor;
control unit can be used as a pulse counter.
Features:
automatic determination of detector type and selection of corresponding measurement modes;
indication of several simultaneously measured quantities (for gamma and beta measurement channels of detector units BDKS-96c and BDZB-96b);
indication of dynamic scale and signaling information attributable to the instrument’s status and all measured quantities (excess of thresholds, presence of external interference, battery status, etc.);
A lot of alarm threshold settings – for dose and dose-rate (lower, upper warning and upper thresholds), for alpha and beta contaminations (flux densities);
fast monitoring mode using three preset thresholds;
convenient keyboard with direct access buttons for display illumination and for control of thresholds of the audible alarm;
automatic selection of low or high sensitivity measurement mode of the BDMG-96 detector unit;
“Search” and “detection” modes of operation allow to perform surveys in a more effective way and to prevent errors of the operator;
USB interface for communication with personal computer;
nonvolatile memory for 2000 measurement results (viewed on the display of the DKS-96 control unit or on the PC screen);
measurement mode with background substraction.
Measurement modes
measurements with user defined time interval;
measurements with unlimited time and periodic upd ate of the measurement result (until the statistical error drops down to 6%);
dose measurement (for gamma and neutron radiation);
automatic – measurements with user defined time interval (1÷60 min) and archiving the results into memory;
pulse count feature (DKS-96 counts pulses fr om the probe on 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000, 3000 second intervals);
“Detect” and “Locate” modes for survey probes;
threshold mode for estimation of measured radiation intensity in comparison with one, two or three thresholds and indication of both the numeric value and a corresponding message (“Excess”, “Normal”, “Clean”, “Clean!”).
Basic complete set:
UIK-05 (UIK-05-01) or UIK-06 control unit (at the customer's option);
Probe for measurement of continuous and pulsed gamma and X-ray radiation.
PMT dark current is compensated electronically, no mechanical shutter inside probe.
Probe for measurement of gamma and beta radiation (accompanied by gamma background).
Automatic compensation for gamma background during beta measurements.
