AIRDOS04 - Specialized Cosmic Radiation Dosimeter for Airliners

AIRDOS04

The upgraded version of AIRDOS02 airborne detector. The instrument is designed primarily for the dosimetry of cabin crew and flight attendants of commercial flights. A detailed description of the use is in the user manual.

Design features

  • Rechargeable accumulators integrated with data storage in the hot-swap module called BATDATUNIT01
    • The changeable module allows new possible features in the future like GNSS-based position logging with a revised module
  • One month of continuous logging for a single accumulator charge
  • Easy activation by insertion of BATDATUNIT module into the device
  • Data download without special software (Mass storage media)
  • Continuously incrementing time marks (Unique logging time from every measurement)

Where to get it?
