SAF Aranet Radiation Detector, Dosimeter, Portable, Measures Dose Rate & Total Dose of Ionizing Radiation, E-Ink Display, 4-Year Battery Life, Bluetooth Connection, Free App with Graphics & Alarm

These units are well packaged, easy to hook up to Bluetooth and have a great display that can be seen easily from many angles. Get ready for a lot of available information.

As a geek, I have many Geiger counters from professional to small pocket size. The only problem is they stay turned off. If you leave batteries, the batteries can leak and do a lot of damage, corrosion I the battery compartment. So I store with out batteries. This unit is accurate. I have it wall mounted. I can pick up my iPhone any time to get a reading. It graphs out everything and stores on phone. There will be an alert if the nuclear power plant south of my city leaks or WW3 starts. I am not in fear, just a geek. Back to H.P. Lovecraft now.

Aranet delivers an excellent product that provides accurate data. I use this Ensor in my house and have been very satisfied with its performance.

I like the physical design and the features like e-ink display. I just wish it had an option for more frequent radiation detection sampling, the lowest you can set is 1 minute. Yes I know it would decrease battery life but it would still be useful to have more frequent sampling as an option for people who want to use it. Like maybe add an option for 10 second sampling rate, or even faster if it is possible, this would make it useful for portable use.Also, by default the jumpers are set to make this device beep each time it detects radiation, you can't disable it in software app, you must change the physical jumper position to disable it. I don't think it is useful to have it enabled by default, especially with such low sampling rate. It should be shipped with this beeping already disabled.

Good unit for home monitoring.Batteries last for months.Use Case is nuclear accident scenario and knowing where not to be.Ordered another unit for vehicle.

These meters are insanely useful for your radon situation and CO2. Lots of dynamic readout, just hop on your phone and enable bluetooth.

We have gained a lot of insight into our indoor environment's air quality thanks to our SAF Aranet4 unit, so when I saw SAF had created an Aranet Radiation Detector model in the same familiar (and compact) footprint we were further intrigued about what it could tell us about the background radiation in our area, the background radiation in areas we travelled in, and even the background radiation in our home where there's the possibility that it could be present in small amounts due to the local geology.When this unit arrived, I installed the included batteries according to the label (pay attention to the alignment as both go in the same direction!), and the unit went to work taking readings and doing its internal setup and stabilization steps. Once all of the self-setup was complete the display indication changed accordingly, and normal operation continued uninterrupted. The app was easy to use, since I already had experience with it from my Aranet4 device, and adding this unit to my profile in the app was very easy. Of note, the buzzer/beeper described in the manual for the unit and the beeper described in the app settings are two different functions and are not interconnected. Out of the box, the default setting for the Radiation Detector is for it to make a little chirp when its detected level changes. Some folks might want this, or be able to ignore it, but for me it got to be a little much. Once I realized the app setting had no control over the device beep, I re-read the instructions to review the description of which of the DIP switches set which option. Once I knew which one I need to flip, I turned the unit over, opened the battery compartment, removed the top battery, and used the tip of a sewing needle to flip the little switch to the non-beeping side. I then replaced the battery and put the battery compartment cover back on, and the unit didn't miss a beat. And, most importantly, the little beeps stopped. If I take it out on a hike or somewhere that I'd want to have the higher level of awareness, it will be easy enough to flip that switch back to the beeping side. I appreciate how easy Aranet made it to control that behavior! Of note though, do NOT make any of those changes once the initial startup procedure has begun as you have to remove a battery to get to the switches and that would interrupt the process. Wait until the front display indicator turns off and you can see that the unit is in normal operation only.After a couple weeks of operation, I now have a good history of background radiation in my home, and I can see the trend of high and low levels daily. It will be interesting to see if there are any different trends seasonally or if what I'm seeing so far is a true baseline. Information like this helps me understand and respond to my environment so that I can take actions in pursuit of better health for myself and everyone in my home. This Aranet radiation detector from SAF represents a big leap in terms of reliability and miniaturization for such detectors and makes portability far easier than previous generations of handhelds. I love it!

I've only used this so far to detect radiation emissions from my cell phone and microwave oven, out of pure curiosity. I was not pleased with the results of either test and now, will never hold my phone next to my ear again and only speak into it with the speaker mode again. I also tossed out my older microwave after testing it's radiation output level at the front of the door about 24" away. Unreal and unsafe. I tried another microwave that I had in storage and it's emission level was far, far lower, so I tossed the old microwave. I can't believe I allowed my children (much less myself) to watch our food cook inside of the microwave. I would never have done so if I had know just how much radiation it was emitting through the door at that range. Anyhow, I am very pleased with this product and although I didn't actually get it for these purposes (I only bought it for preparedness purposes if things ever hit the fan and bombs start dropping) but I'm glad I did, in either case now. It's amazing what you willingly do to yourself out of ignorance and what companies will sell you, despite them knowing what they are selling you. Unreal. Highly recommended.

I already had the Aranet 4, so this was the obvious choice. The e-ink display is much better than other devices on the market as it means the battery lasts much longer. Only downside to this is it cannot be wall mounted like the Aranet 4 can be.

Danke

Excellente ergonomie.Mais comment tester son bon fonctionnement ?Bien entendu j'étais conscient de cette difficulté lors de l'achat.Aucun regret malgré tout.

Tolles Gerät! Sehr gut ablesbares Display und top Datenlogger-Funktion mit der App. Gerade diese macht es so interessant wenn man den zeitlichen Verlauf anschauen will oder Daten exportiert. Batterie hält auch lange.

Very cool technology was a very nice package and a smart function integrated battery are still almost full after more than 100 day of operation
