1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF DOSIMETER/RADIOMETER
1.1 Functionality of dosimeter/radiometer
1.1.1 Dosimeters/radiometers DKS-96 TE1.415313.003 (hereinafter – dosimeters/radiometers),
depending on the type of detector unit connected, provide measurement:
 * 10 of continuous and pulsed X-ray and gamma radiation
- ambient dose equivalent rate 
(hereinafter – ADER);
- ambient dose equivalent  * 10 of continuous and pulsed X-ray and gamma radiation
(hereinafter – ADE);
 * 10 of neutron radiation (hereinafter – ADER);
- ambient dose equivalent rate 
- ambient dose equivalent  * 10 of neutron radiation (hereinafter – ADE);
 of gamma radiation (hereinafter – EDR);
- exposure dose rate Х
- alpha particle flux density;
- beta particle flux density;
- gamma photon flux density;
- flux density of neutrons;
- flux of gamma photons.
1.1.2 Dosimeters/radiometers are used in dosimetry services at nuclear power industry
facilities, at medical, scientific and other institutions, both standalone and as part of automated
radiation monitoring systems for the following tasks:
- operation and periodic monitoring of the radiation environment;
- measurement of surface contamination with alpha-, beta-, gamma- and neutron-emitting
substances;
- search and location of ionizing radiation sources;
- measurement of gamma photons flux and exposure dose rate of gamma radiation in wells and
liquid media.
- measurement of radioactive contamination of scrap metal;
- radiation surveys at prospective construction sites;
- at customs check-point for the inspection of vehicles and cargo.
Dosimeters/radiometers can be connected to a personal computer via cable adapter PI-03
(RS-232 – USB) when using control units UIK-05/UIK-05-01, UIK-06 and interface RS-485/RS-422
when using control unit UIK-07.
Dosimeters/radiometers can be used for radiation surveys with georeferencing in conjunction
with the global positioning system (GPS) sensor.
