The CoMo-170 is a compact and lightweight (800g) monitor. It uses a plastic scintillator which simultaneously measures alpha, and beta/ gamma radiation. These detectors are more sensitive than gas-filled detectors and foils can be easily replaced by the user. The system is based on a µ -controller with a LCD and pushbuttons. The menu structure allows setting of personal preferences. The CoMo-170DL has a second build-in detector (GM tube) which allows contamination and dose rate measurements with one instrument.
External detectors can be connected to the CoMo-170(DL).
