AIRDOS04 - Specialized Cosmic Radiation Dosimeter for Airliners
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)
