Hello,

I've just received my GMC-320 Plus ordered a few days ago on Amazon. In the box, I got a little plastic card titled "Nuclear Radiation Safety Guide", with values in CPM, ySv/h and mR/h, and the corresponding action to take.

What is really strange is the >2000CPM line corresponds to >500ySv/h. Which seems way off from what the GMC-320 would measure, because the GMC-320 gives a value of 10-14ySv/h for around 2000CPM (I don't remember the exact value). Which is much less than the 500ySv/hr on the card.

So... is the card made for a different geiger tube ? Maybe a pancake tube which is way more sensitive and big ?

What value is more "realistic" to the action written besides it. The CPM column ? The ySv/h column ?

Those value between columns are not directly mapped by value. Those are reading examples.

However, to make more sense, it should mapped by conversion rate.

Not sure if you wanted text or image- but this is an image of updated card I received with recent purchase.

I don't know how to make it an inline image, sorry.
