The RadAl™-1 wall mount radiation monitor and
alarm was specifically designed to identify radioactive substances, either
lost or misappropriated with criminal intent. It can thus help protect from
the consequences of illegal trafficking in radioactive sources and
from the radiological risk caused by the widespread presence of radioactive
substances in the environment.
The instrument detects the presence of
harmful radiation using one to four large Geiger detectors: the alarm is
triggered when the radiation level is statistically higher than local
background. Each Geiger detector in the RadAl™-1 has 80 times the
volume of the detectors used in typical hand-held instruments, ensuring fast
response (< 1 second) with high sensitivity (the alarm threshold can be as
low as 20 nGy/h, depending on background).
Multiple outputs (LEDs, buzzer, relay, RS-232
and RS-485) and power supply options (230 Vac, 115 Vac, 12 Vdc) allow easy
integration in any area monitoring and security systems. |
