Unidos E Dosemeter, TNC-F/M Connector

Unidos® E Dosemeter, TNC-F/M Connector.

The PTW Unidos® E Universal Dosemeter is an easy to use reference class or field class dosemeter for routine dosimetry.

The lightweight and compact UNIDOS E is an easy to use dosemeter, mainly used for daily routine dosimetry in radiation therapy.  Ion chambers and solid-state detectors can be connected.  A chamber library makes it possible to store calibration data.  Air density corrections are done by keying in air pressure and temperature.  UNIDOS E displays the measured values of dose and dose rate in Gy, R, Gy/min, R/min or Gy•m.  The electrical values charge and current are measured in C and A.  The large, high-contrast LC display is easy to read.  The device includes automatic leakage compensation and an RS232 interface.  The high voltage between the ion chamber electrodes is checked automatically.  UNIDOS E features both mains and battery operation.
