    Description

    PRD GUARDER belongs to spectrometric devices and is used to detect and localize radioactive and nuclear materials by their gamma radiation in order to prevent their illegal transfer. This device is also used at enterprises and institutions where personnel work with sources of gamma radiation.

    Purpose of Use

    • Measurement of ambient dose equivalent rate (DER) of gamma and x-ray radiation (photon-ionizing radiation)

    • Measurement of ambient dose equivalent (DE) of gamma and x-ray radiation

    • Determining gamma radiation intensity

    • Storing results in non-volatile memory

    Features

    • Highly sensitive, compact and lightweight device

    • Graphic monochrome display with backlight

    • Light, sound, vibration alarm

    • Easy to operate with only 3 buttons (designed for use in protective gloves)

    • Powered by 2 galvanic cells / AA batteries or via USB cable

    • Built-in GPS / GNSS receiver:

      – automatic data logging by time or distance

      – automatic time synchronization

    • Built-in Bluetooth 5 LE – smartphone connection based on Android OS

    • PC connection via USB

    • Determining the direction toward the source of gamma radiation

    • Capability for remote software update

    • Wide range of available built-in detectors based on scintillator-silicon photomultiplier
