OVERVIEW OF FEATURES AND BENEFITS
 Increased Productivity
• Intuitive, quick setup, small footprint, convenient portability.
• Ion chambers for critical acceptance testing and dose diodes for QA consistency testing.
• Flash HVL (diagnostic range) with fluoro mode, beam filtration, scatter and leakage, invasive and
   non-invasive mAs.

 Accuracy and Confidence
• "Gold Standard" ion chambers for correct measurement of AEC fluoro systems, filtered beams, and       more. No beam altering metal mass in area of interest.
• Auto-ranging, filtration corrected FFT kV. Accurate kVp for AMX4+ and AMX 700 portables.
• New ACCU-DOSE™ minature 24 bit digital electrometer for both dose and time.

 Value
• Basic and advanced function choices add utility at no extra cost. Transforms into survey meter.
• Easy upgrades: we invented expand-as-you-grow interchangeable sensors and upgradeable firmware for x-ray    diagnostics.
• Backward compatiblity with 10X5 and 10X9 series Radcal ion chambers.
• Radcal designed for durability; 35+ years of know-how.
