ABG Pancake Probe
The Radiological Detection System (RDS) ABG Pancake Probe is used for detecting alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. It is designed to be held in the operator’s hand for beta/gamma contamination monitoring work. The probe uses a Geiger-Mueller (GM) Pancake Tube to provide a 15.5 cm2 sensitive detection area in a small and lightweight probe. The unit is supplied with a Detector Protective Cover, a removable ‘clip-on’ thin shield for protecting the front face of the probe. An optional aluminum-clad lead shield is available for performing radiological detection operations in high background radiation areas.

As a smart probe, the ABG Pancake Probe contains a microprocessor and high voltage circuitry for creating its own high voltage. No high voltage is transferred across the interface cable. When connected to the Base Unit, the display will show the probe’s image and radiation measurement. The probe’s onboard memory stores the probe type and calibration information.
