PDS-100G/GN

Pocket Radiation Detector & Search

The PDS-100G and PDS-100GN are the new

generation of gamma and gamma/neutron radiation

detectors.

These sensitive pocket-sized devices are designed to

detect, locate and quantify any radioactive

materials as Special Nuclear Materials or as

Radiological Dispersal Devices (RDD), in a very short

time. The PDS-100G and GN feature the capability

to transmit the measurement and the spectrum on

request.

They have been designed specially for First

Responders, Law Enforcement, Customs Inspectors

and for Personnel and Site Security in critical

infrastructures.

FEATURES

● Gamma / neutron independent channels

● High sensitivity and fast response time

● Visual, audio and vibration alarms

● Wireless communication interface

● Small, rugged, compact, user-friendly

● Designed to meet/exceed ITRAP and ANSI standards

VERSIONS:

• PDS-100G: Gamma version
