Gamma Radiation Pager

Gamma radiation pager used in the front-line against illicit trafficking of radioactive materials by border police in Russia, Kazakhstan and Poland amongst others, the New York Police Department, and supplied to response teams during the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. Also used in the scrap metal recyling industry to monitor for radioactive sources. Based on a CsI(Tl) scintillator detector to give better sensitivity than Geiger-based devices and housed in a small, compact and lightweight unit, the device activates an alarm(audibleand vibrating) when radiation levels pass a preset threshold, displaying the count rate on a backlit LCD. The unit may be switched between dose rate and counting modes for search, detection and dosimetry applications. Data including alarm times and levels are stored in a non-volatile memory and can be downloaded to a PC via an IR-channel. Also available with LiI(Eu) neutron detector incorporated, as used by the US Coastguard) for enhanced detection of plutonium. Please inquire for unit price and terms.
