How to Use:

• Step 1: Connect
  • Begin by connecting the VCC pin to a 5V DC power source.
  • Connect the GND pin to the ground of your power supply.
  • Attach the pulse output to a microcontroller or a data logger for pulse counting.
• Step 2: Power On
  • Once all connections are secure, power on the device.
  • The LCD display will light up, and the device will start detecting radiation immediately.
• Step 3: Monitor
  • Observe the radiation levels on the LCD display. Each detected radiation particle will generate a pulse, accompanied by an audible click.
• Step 4: Data Logging (Optional)
  • If connected to a data logger, the device will record radiation levels over time, which can be reviewed and analyzed later.
• Step 5: Calibration
  • If required, calibrate the device using known radiation sources to ensure accurate readings.
• Step 6: Alarm
  • Pay attention to the radiation alarm. If the alarm sounds, take immediate action as per safety guidelines.

This Geiger Counter kit is ideal for anyone needing to monitor radiation levels, whether for scientific research, safety monitoring, or personal interest. Its straightforward design and reliable performance make it a valuable tool for various applications.
