Active Dosimetry - Dosimeters

DMC 3000

Personal Electronic Dosimeter

Mirion Technologies provides a complete line of

hardware and software products targeted to Health

Physics and Radiation Protection personnel, in order to

meet current Nuclear Industry challenges.

Covering a wide range of X-Ray and Gamma radiation

detection, our DMC 3000 Electronic Dosimeter

represents over 25 years of real-world electronic

dosimetry experience, continually re ned through

customer feedback.

The unique, high contrast and backlit LCD display

provides a clear indication of wearer’s dose and

ambient dose rate for deep dose equivalent. More

importantly, multiple methods (audible, visual,

and tactile) are utilized to alert the wearer of alarm

conditions.

Best of all, the DMC 3000 provides all of this protection,

for over 2500 hours of continuous use, with a single

AAA battery.

● Highly visible backlit display

● Optional telemetry module

● Factory upgradeable  rmware

● Simple 2-buttons navigation

● Extended dose rate alarms

● Dual ultrabright LED alarm

● Superior X-ray and gamma energy response

● Meets or exceeds applicable IEC and ANSI standards

● Designed for ruggedness and durability

Finally, Mirion Technologies provides users with

additional tools for calibration, positive entry control,

and remote monitoring.

Radiation Safety. Perfected.

The DMC 3000 o ers an enhanced communication

protocol for additional features and includes a

compatibility mode for previous Mirion

Technologies products including Access Control,

Turnstiles and Telemetry infrastructure.
