FAQs
What types of radiation can the Geiger-2 detect?
The Geiger-2 can detect alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation, making it versatile for various applications, from personal safety to professional use.
How does the Geiger-2 differ from a traditional Geiger counter?
Unlike bulky analog Geiger counters, the Geiger-2 is fully digital, features a full-color LCD display, and provides real-time radiation readings with customizable alerts. It also has a solar panel for supplemental charging.
How accurate is the Geiger-2?
The device utilizes a professional-grade SBM20-01 Geiger-Muller tube, capable of detecting radiation as low as 0.999 μSv/h, ensuring high accuracy comparable to industrial-grade radiation monitors.
Can I use the Geiger-2 for long-term radiation exposure monitoring?
Yes. The device offers multiple tracking modes, including ambient radiation monitoring and long-term exposure logging. Users can set customizable exposure limits and receive alerts when thresholds are reached.
How long does the battery last, and how do I recharge it?
The 400 mAh LiPo battery lasts up to 30 days on a full charge. It can be fully recharged via USB-C in just two hours. The integrated solar panel provides a trickle charge when exposed to direct sunlight.
Can I rely solely on solar charging for continuous use?
No. The solar panel provides a trickle charge, which extends battery life but is not a substitute for regular USB-C charging. For continuous use, periodic recharging via USB-C is necessary.
Is the Geiger-2 suitable for travel and everyday carry (EDC)?
Yes! The compact, lightweight, and durable design makes it ideal for travel, air travel radiation monitoring, and everyday carry (EDC). It even includes a keychain, carabiner, and USB-C cable for convenience.
Can I use the Geiger-2 to measure radiation exposure from medical scans?
Yes. The device can detect radiation from X-rays, CT scans, and other medical imaging procedures, helping users monitor their cumulative exposure over time.
Is the Geiger-2 suitable for professional and emergency use?
Absolutely. The Geiger-2 is trusted by first responders, medical professionals, scientists, and preppers for radiation detection in various environments, including emergencies and disaster preparedness.
Does the Geiger-2 provide an alarm for high radiation levels?
Yes, the device allows users to set customizable daily exposure limits, triggering an alarm when radiation levels exceed the set threshold.
How should I store the Geiger-2 when not in use?
Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong electromagnetic fields. If stored for long periods, fully charge it every few months to maintain battery health.
Can the Geiger-2 detect radiation from nuclear fallout?
Yes. It can detect dangerous radiation levels from nuclear disasters, fallout, and contaminated areas, making it a vital tool for emergency preparedness and survival planning.
Does the Geiger-2 require calibration?
No manual calibration is needed. The device is pre-configured for accurate radiation readings out of the box, eliminating the need for user adjustments.
What’s included with the Geiger-2?
Each Geiger-2 package includes:
- Geiger-2 Portable Dosimeter / Geiger Counter
- USB-C charging cable
- Keychain & carabiner for easy carrying
- User manual
What is the warranty on the Geiger-2?
The device comes with a one-year limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
