... 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

Selon un spécialiste en radioprotection de la Défense nationale, les alarmes des dosimètres ne sont pas uniquement sonores. Le dosimètre peut générer des alarmes sonores et visuelles (clignotement de l’affichage) qui indiquent le dépassement de seuils prédéterminés. 3, record 2, French, - dosim%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20alarme
