4 General Information

The DoseRAE 2 personal dosimeter is a thin

electronic monitor that can directly read X-ray or

Gamma-ray dose equivalent and dose equivalent

rate. It is specially designed for use in nuclear power

plants, nuclear fuel and nuclear components

factories, and nuclear waste-processing plants, as

well as in radiation source management, nuclear

medicine, and environmental monitoring

organizations. DoseRAE 2 has dual-channel

detectors that employ a semiconductor diode and a

scintillation crystal as sensors. It can detect radiation

rapidly in a wide range, and its energy compensation

ensures accurate readings.

5 Charging The DoseRAE 2

Charge the DoseRAE 2 before its first use, and

charge it when it is not in use. The DoseRAE 2 must

be placed in its Charger/Reader for battery charging.

5.1 Charger/Reader

The DoseRAE 2 Charger/Reader can be used for

DoseRAE 2 battery charging, parameter modification

and datalog reading (when connected to a computer

running ProRAE Dosimeter software). It can provide a

DoseRAE 2 with up to 100 mA of current. The

minimum charging time is 1.5 hours.

The red LED indicates the USB power supply is on
