Compact and portable

The Ion-Hound is a handheld ion-chamber that provides highly sensitive directional dose equivalent rate (H'(0.07)) and ambient dose equivalent rate (H*(10)) measurements from mixed radiation fields (beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation). The Ion-Hound utilises a 430 cm³ open air chamber. It is lightweight, easy-to-use, and manufactured in the UK.

It provides dose rate measurement in six manually-selectable ranges with an effective range of 0.5 μSv/h to 500 mSv/h with optional real-time data streaming via the USB-C port. A built-in, full-colour, backlit LCD screen displays measurements and the instruments status. Ergonomically designed, with a robust housing and a handle for single-handed operation, the Ion-Hound features a familiar, industry-standard design while adding additional connectivity and ease-of-use features. It is an excellent like-for-like replacement for existing ion-chamber instruments and is suitable for a range of application areas including:

  • Nuclear
  • Defence
  • Medical and Health Physics
  • Research

Features

User-replaceable Windows

Aluminised windows are designed with easy field maintenance in mind.

Downward-facing Beta Shield

The beta shield allows users to easily swap between ambient (H*(10)) and directional (H'(0.07)) dose equivalent rate radiation measurement qualities.

User Interface

Intuitive user interface means the Ion-Hound requires minimal training for current users of ion-chamber instruments.

Long Battery Life

Powered by 6 x 1.5 V C-cell batteries, the Ion-Hound offers up to 40 hours of use.

Ionisation Chamber

With a large volume of 430 cm³ providing highly sensitive measurement, maintained at atmospheric pressure.

Real-time Data Monitoring

Data readout through the USB-C port enables easy calibration and remote system monitoring.
