See specifications for further information. Easily customize your measurements and reports with Ocean Next™ software.
All you need for advanced quality control
Included: RTI Dose Probe (calibrated at 70 kV, W/23 mm Al – for input dose to image intensifiers and scattered and leakage radiation), internal rechargeable battery, internal Bluetooth and USB port, USB cable, Ocean Next™ software with Advantage license, power supply, USB Stick, Soft-Shell transport case, and Basic online training.
Standard two-year warranty/calibration. Read about our pre-paid calibration and extended warranty.
The Piranha R/F X-ray meter comes ready to use with everything you need. It is really an all-in-one multifunction meter. Connect to your computer wireless or via USB for a complete QA system.
The unique feature of the Piranha R/F X-ray QA meter makes it possible to check the position of the detector before measuring. By using the Position Check function, you can verify that the detector area is fully irradiated. Possible field inhomogeneities are also neutralized.
Its compatibility with our Ocean Next™ software provides quick and repeatable QA work. Ocean can perform instant real-time analysis during your measurements. Use your tablet/laptop as both an interactive display during the measurements and as a powerful analysis tool when you are back at the office.
