S P E C I F I C A T I O N S Function Detector Battery Life Batteries Response Time Notification Gamma ray detection Cesium Iodide Scintillator 2+ years @ 48 hrs/week 2 AA Alkaline < 1 second 1. Audio alarm; beeps increase based on radiation strength 2. Vibration; vibration pulses increase based on radiation strength 3. Flashing LED; flashes increase based on radiation strength, color changes from orange to red 4.
Operating Instructions-Alarms (continued) In addition, when in SPK mode, an audible alert will sound in increasing intensity as the alarm level goes from 1 to higher levels. When unit is on, calibrated and in VIB mode, the nukeALERT will alarm by displaying the level on the LED window and activating the vibra-sender feature and the intensity of vibration will increase proportionately as the level of gamma radiation increases.
M A I N T E N A N C E The nukeALERT is designed to meet extreme environmental standards for rain, shock and vibration. The unit is sealed to reduce intrusion from dust, humidity and salt fog. The unit, including top display, may be cleaned safely with mild soap and water using a warm, wet cloth.
