The PRM-9000 is one of the finest units you can
purchase because of its quality and accuracy!
350% more sensitive than the PRM-8000

Please do not think you will spend $150 or $199
on one of the other units being sold on ebay
and get the same functions! The less expensive SOEKS
geiger counters measure ONLY gamma radiation.
Mazur Instruments units measure alpha, beta,
gamma and x-ray radiation!

The PRM-9000 is 3.5 times (350%) more sensitive than the PRM-8000.
It can sense smaller amounts of radioactive contamination than the PRM-8000.
The PRM-8000 will quickly tell the user that an area is safe, but the 9000
is more sensitive and better suited to check for trace contamination
on surfaces, on items, on people, etc. - Vince Mazur

PRM-8000 or PRM-9000 What Is the Difference?
The PRM-9000 is 3.5 times more sensitive to nuclear radiation, but cannot be taken
outside above 10,000 feet without risking damaging the Geiger tube - rendering the
device inoperative. Flying or shipment by commercial air is fine. The PRM-8000 is lighter
and more rugged. The PRM-9000 is best for detecting lower levels of contamination in
items quickly. The PRM-8000 is also able to detect lower levels of contamination in
items, but requires more time (using the timed measurement functions). No Geiger
counter is exceptional for detecting trace contamination in food, but the PRM-9000,
with its pancake tube is the better of the two for scanning food.

HONEST - RESPECTFUL - NO HASSLES!

The PRM-9000 includes the same two-inch (50.8 mm) pancake Geiger detector tube that is the gold-standard for surveying areas for potentially harmful ionizing radiation levels and for detecting radioactive contamination of packages, items, equipment and people.

The instrument is suitable for regulatory inspections, and for the detection, measurement and monitoring of broad spectrum, low energy radionuclides, including Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM).

The detection sensitivity combined with the feature-set outlined below results in one of the most compelling price/performance values in the industry.

Accurate, reliable, made in the USA, the PRM-9000 Geiger counter is an ideal solution for individuals, health physics professionals, educators, researchers, outdoor enthusiasts and rock collectors.

Unique Monitoring Capability

The instrument is designed to continuously collect measurements and statistics enabling complete environment assessment. This vital capability is not available on similarly priced products.

Using only one key, users can scroll through several screens that display present, average, maximum and minimum measurements in uR/hr, mR/hr, uSv/hr, Counts per Second (CPS) or Counts per Minute (CPM).

This nuclear detector not only records the maximum radiation measured, but also displays the time and date at which the maximum reading occurred. Conventional Geiger counters require the user to be looking at the radiation meter to capture such events.

Supports English and Japanese

The two-line, alphanumeric display supports both English and Japanese languages promoting ease-of-use and concise measurement. The display is backlit to support low-light conditions.

Industry Leading Battery Life

The battery life of this radiation detector and monitor is over 4 1/2 years under normal conditions from a single, readily available, 9-volt lithium battery that is user-installable without soldering.

Standard alkaline 9-volt batteries, available virtually everywhere, provide over 2-years of life under normal conditions.

Data Logging and USB Connectivity

With over 100K bytes of internal data logging memory included, this Geiger counter can autonomously (without the need for a PC) store up to 91,466 minutes or hours of time-stamped measurements. These measurements can then be uploaded later to a PC in CSV format for analysis.

A user-settable dose rate alarm sounds an audible alert when the measured radiation level exceeds that of the alarm level setting.

Designed by Mazur Instruments and manufactured in the USA, the PRM-9000 Geiger counter and nuclear radiation monitor includes abundant I/O options including support for headphones, external speakers, external power and USB data exchange (USB DATA EXCHANGE CABLE INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE FROM THIS LISTING).
