The AMP-100 Area Monitor Probe is a GM tube based rate meter. It is a state-of-the-art microprocessor-based instrument, designed for highly stable and accurate measurements of dose rate and integrated dose rate gamma radiation. 

The AMP-100 covers a measuring range of 0.001 R/h up to 1000 R/h. It is a lightweight and compact instrument with a large, four 7-segment LCD. The AMP-100 sophisticated software offers special features and optimal performance. The wide dynamic range from 0.001 R/h to 1000 R/h, is obtained by automatic dead time correction, according to the preset calibration. A special averaging function softens the readout and maintains fast response time, while keeping the standard deviation at a minimum.

Dead time correction
Alarms for detector overflow, low battery and detector failure
Automatic self diagnostic routine

Technical Description 

The Area Monitor Probe (AMP-100) is a high-range GM tube-based detector designed to be continuously used in areas where high exposure levels  exists. 

The instrument consists of three parts: the Meter box ( which includes the display unit, operating pushbuttons and detector’s electronics); The probe head, which contains the GM tube; and the connecting cable,  which is fitted with quick-connect-type connectors at each end.  The AMP-100’s connections and probe head feature watertight sealing to allow for use in underwater applications
