RDS-40WE
Wide Energy Survey Meter
The RDS-40WE is a Digital Handheld Dose Rate
Meter designed for use by personnel who may
be exposed to gamma and/or X-ray radiation in
their work. RDS-40WE provides either sequen-
tial or  xed dose rate alarming system (values
are programmable by the CSW con gura-
tion software via IrDA link) and the possibility
to store dose rate events into the histogram
memory of the meter.
The use of the RDS-CSW software (Mirion prod-
uct # 1233-246) is required for downloading the
data into a PC via IrDA port.
RDS-40WE is microprocessor controlled. The
user interface consists of one push button and
an easy-to-use menu structure that displays
information in the LCD of the meter. The six-
digit display shows the dose rate and various
messages. Di erent alarm situations are indi-
cated by a combination of audio-visual e ects
in the LCD and a buzzer (dose rate, dose , low
battery, defect, dose rate over ow).
Complies with IEC 60486 and ANSI N42.33 standards
