Additionally, the GM-10 works as a reliable laboratory device for nuclear physics experiments, health physics laboratories, environmental monitoring labs and radiation research centres. Therefore, users can perform teaching, training, calibration and research-related radiation counting applications with better accuracy and convenience.

Moreover, when the GM-10 is used with a suitable end-window Geiger Muller tube and lead castle arrangement, it can support beta counting applications such as swipe sample counting, absorber studies and detector efficiency experiments. As a result, it becomes useful for both educational laboratories and professional radiation measurement setups.

Product Description

The GM Counter GM-10 helps users measure radiation counts using a Geiger Muller detector setup. It supports count-rate monitoring, CPS/CPM display, preset count mode, preset time mode and automatic data storage. Additionally, the system provides a user-friendly interface for students, teachers, researchers and laboratory technicians.

Moreover, the instrument provides variable HV/EHT output from 0 to 1500V DC, which makes it suitable for GM detector tubes operating across different voltage ranges. The system also includes external HV adjustment with internal monitoring and protection. Therefore, users can set the detector operating voltage according to the GM tube requirement.

In addition, the GM-10 supports high-speed pulse counting up to 6 MHz for service, calibration testing and electronic performance verification. It also provides 250 ns electronic resolving time / pulse-pair resolution, which helps in accurate pulse counting performance.

Furthermore, the 20×2 LCD display shows counts, HV/EHT status, CPS/CPM and system messages. It also shows live radiation activity in bar graph form, similar to a survey meter response display. As a result, users can observe radiation activity clearly during laboratory practicals and radiation measurement experiments.

Also, the GM-10 includes preset count mode and preset time mode. It supports up to 9,99,999 counts and preset time up to 9,99,999 seconds. Finally, the built-in non-volatile flash memory automatically stores readings after every run, while PC communication allows users to view, save, print and export logged data in CSV/Excel-compatible format.
