MKS-UM Multipurpose Dosimeter-Radiometer

• New generation meter for replacement of SVG2 designed for use by NATO forces
• In operational service with the Ukrainian Army and Law Enforcement Agencies of other countries
• Complies with the international military standardsMIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F as well as international standards ІЕС 60846 and ІЕС 60325
• Measures alpha, beta, gamma and X-ray radiation and has Integrated dual-system GPS/GLONASS receiver

MKS-UM is a full-range radiation survey device in field conditions. It is designed on the basis of MKS-U, which gained an excellent reputation under severe desert conditions during peacekeeping mission in the Middle East. It is suitable for use by military forces, particularly NATO forces.

MKS-UM measures alpha, beta, gamma and X-ray radiation.

The high protection rating IP67 allows the device to be used under harsh climatic conditions, and a rubber protective case can safeguard it from mechanical damage.

Description

The device measures dose rate of gamma radiation from background to emergency levels. It uses lithium-ion memory-effect-free battery. The display indicates a statistical error of measurements. Availability of the analog indicator and audio alarm of radiation intensity facilitates localization of radiation sources. It provides ease of use due to its small size and weight.

Its integrated dual-system GPS/GLONASS receiver enables MKS-UM to archive georeferenced measurement results.

The device has a nonvolatile memory of up to 4096 measurement results. The recorded results can be viewed on the display or transferred to the computer via the infrared port.

The device ensures a multilevel indication of battery discharge.

Storage battery of the device is charged with the help of the built-in charger from an integral solar battery, from an automobile battery or from an industrial network.

MKS-UM operates under the conditions of atmospheric precipitations, dusty conditions and in a wide temperature range. Back-lit display and controls allow the device to be used in dark areas.
