Technical Data for the

GCA-07 and GCA-06 series



Radiation Detected
Alpha, Beta, X-Rays and Gamma.


Radiation Detector
Geiger-Muller Tube: Ne + Halogen filled with a .38" effective diameter 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2 mica end window.


Detector Sensitivity
. Alpha above 3.0 MeV
. Beta above 50 KeV
. Gamma above 7 KeV


Countable Pulse Resolution & Range 1 Count Per Minute (CPM) - 10000 Counts Per Second (CPS)

Radiation readout is switch selectable between Imperial and Metric measurements:

Radiation Resolution & Range (Imperial) 1.0 uR/hr - 1000 mR/hr | (Metric) 0.01 uSv/hr - 10.0 mSv/hr


The GCA-07 and GCA-06 series of Geiger counters detects background radiation as well as NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) and TENORM (Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) objects in your environment.


Case Size:
GCA-07: approximate case size: 7.5" x 4.1" x 1.25"
GCA-06: approximate case size: 5.75" x 3.5" x 1.25"
External Wand approximate size (less cable) 0.85 diameter x 5.7" length

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
