... the term "audible-alarm dosimeters" refers to electronic dosimeters that alarm when either a preset integrated exposure or a preset exposure rate is reached; these dosimeters generally sound a short beep every time an exposure of 1 milliroentgen is accumulated. The term "audible-alarm dosimeters" also includes "chirpers," those devices that sound a brief chirp or beep every time some small exposure is received; these "chirpers" usually emit a hundred or more chirps per milliroentgen. 4, record 1, English, - audible%2Dalarm%20dosimeter
