RS-225 Super-SPEC Handheld Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
New Model! — Ideal For Field Exploration
Providing Survey, Scan & Assay Modes of Operation
The RS-225 handheld spectrometer builds on the industry-leading gamma ray survey devices for geophysical applications. It offers an integrated design with a large detector for survey or search, direct Assay readout, scan mode and data storage. The RS-225 provides dust and water resistance and ease of use. Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi communication deliver wireless connectivity to all acquired data.
Key Features
- High sensitivity with large 2" x 2" Nal crystal, 6.3 in³ (103 cm³)
- Greater sensitivity to terrestrial radiation than previous generations
- Internal GPS
- Advanced spectrometer offers shorter measurement times, speeding up data acquisition
- User friendly illuminated joystick menu navigation
RS-225
The RS-225 allows the user to produce profiles of the total count data from either the Survey or Assay modes. The data can be obtained continuously from a survey with GPS positioning data.
Survey Mode
The total count read out is typically set at a once per second rate. The range is variable from 1- 20 sec. integration. When used with the internal GPS, data can be stored, and profiles produced. It is ideal for both area and drill core scanning. Expandable for On-the-fly Assay, where K, U, and Th precursors are evaluated while surveying.
Assay Mode
The assay mode provides readouts in %K, and ppm of U and Th. Sample times are user selectable and can be between 30 and 1800 seconds. On-the-fly Assay is available when automatically recording the data and is at a minimum of 30 second intervals.
RS-Analyst Software
RS-Analyst utility software is included in the RS-225 to download data stored in the instrument’s memory. All data in memory is output via Blutooth®, Wi-Fi or USB-C to the RS-Analyst program on a PC. This may take the form of 1024 channel spectral data or scan data & GPS. The program also gives graphical views of the data that can be re-exported as a text file for further processing.
