It is a highly sensitive instrument designed for radiation monitoring and thus protection of a building against radioactive contamination. The detector may be fixed near doorways and facility entrances to continuously monitor human traffic and their luggage against radioactive sources presence.
This type of instruments has a radiation sensitivity that is close to the sensitivity of the much larger and significantly more expensive pedestrian radiation portal monitors. The PM1710C achieve such sensitivity through its large CsI(Tl) gamma radiation detector.
When the instrument detects radiation that exceeds the preset threshold values, the alarms will begin to signal the danger via both the audible and visual alarms. To locate the radioactive source, the detector can be easily removed from a wall mounting cradle and used as a regular hand-held radiation detector.
The radiation detector can be easily integrated into the local network by RS485/USB interface connection. Such integration allows a remote user to access to the detector’s readings on the PC screen and/or be immediately alerted in case of alarm.
This instrument comes as a kit with the PM1710-PB, a Processing Block, cable and power supply, manual and wall-mount bracket.
