The palmRAD 1621M is the only simple to
use radiation dosimeter with advanced features designed for
non-technical personnel in government, law enforcement or
the public sector at low cost. Its ability to detect and measure
gamma radiation with user-selectable alarms makes this device
ideal for volume deployment into most industrial, medical
or emergency response applications.
In the event of a radiological emergency,
first response teams equipped with the 1621M can effortlessly
monitor a wide area for radiological hot zones by simply clipping
the unit to their utility belt. The 1621M, in its ultra small
shock resistant and watertight package, will alert the operator
through a discreet vibration or audible alarm anytime it detects
gamma radiation. The presence of the 1621M will provide the
end user with assurance that their personal health and safety
are being monitored and they can focus on more immediate tasks.
The instrument is designed to efficiently communicate to the
user both critical stay time and personal dose rate information
that encompasses the lowest levels of natural background.
Tests have shown the unit is more sensitive
and responsive than commonly used Geiger Mueller radiation
detection pagers. Ease of use, sensitivity and durability
under harsh environmental conditions make the 1621M a robust
and essential tool in the most demanding emergency response
situations.
This instrument meets IEC 61526 standards
for radiation protection survey instruments. Data - including
the alarm event and time, and level of alarm exceedance relative
to the preset threshold - for up to 1000 incident histories
may be stored in the non-volatile memory of this instrument.
All of this data may be transmitted to a PC through the IR-channel
for processing, analysis and control.
