Each controller features a four-digit LED display that is readable from 9 meters (30 feet) away. Backlit indicators on each instrument warn of low radiation alarm (yellow), high radiation alarm (red), instrument failure (red), and low battery (yellow). A green status light indicates the instrument is functioning properly. Calibration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and protected under calibration covers on each controller.
