The Eris1C is a handheld, small, compact and lightweight contamination monitor to detect and measure the alpha, beta and gamma radioactive contamination, in counts rate (cps) and activity units (Bq, Bqcm²).

The monitor is ready to use as soon as it is turned on and the surfing on the menu is very intuitive and user-friendly. The language of texts and messages are all in English.

The monitor has three measures modes: the Rate mode in which the average value is updated each second, the Hold mode in which the maximum value reached is frozen on the display, and finally, the Counter mode with adjustable measuring time to do more accuracy measures.

Its sophisticated firmware calculates the average rate of the last seconds correcting the dead time of the detector. This reading is very stable, but it is automatically updated when the radiation field varies more than three times the standard deviation of the previous reading. This makes the monitor has a fast response time and stable readings.

If the isotope to measure is known and the user wants measure directly in activity units, the Eris1C has a small isotope library, or calibration set, with factors to convert to Bq and Bqcm², in accordance with ISO7503-1. The library has free positions that the user can set in case the isotope to measure is not in the library.

The counts rate (in cps) and activity rate (Bq, Bqcm²) have alarm threshold values that the user can set and save in the non-volatile memory. In case the counts rate or the activity is above its alarm threshold value, an alarm message will be displayed. The monitor also has self-test routines and displays a warning message if the battery level is low, if the detector fails or if the reading is out of range.

After its manufacturing, the Eris1C is tested, adjusted and calibrated. The monitor is supplied with a transport case with strap, with the user’s manual (in English) and a certificate with the results of the calibration factors for some reference isotopes.
