PM5000P series of Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs) is a high-sensitive fixed system designed for permanent installation andand monitoring of people or packages for the presence of radioactive materials.
PM5000P RPM is an essential component of any facility that requires strict security measures, including government buildings, research facilities, and nuclear power plants.
The compact and ergonomic design of the RPM makes it a convenient solution for use in various applications for screening people, luggage and cargo.
The RPM is easy to operate and maintain, requires minimal training and is supplied with user-friendly software that provides real-time data and alarms.
Operation Principle
Radiation monitors may have one-pillar or two-pillar configurations depending on the site requirements and can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
Equipped with highly sensitive scintillation detectors, the RPM is capable of continuously detecting and measuring ionizing radiation in real-time. This means that as soon as radiation is present, the device swiftly captures and analyzes the data, providing immediate feedback.
Connection to an operator computer or compatible external devices allows to effortlessly transmit the recorded radiation measurements for further analysis and monitoring. The real-time measurements are displayed in an easily readable format, ensuring a quick and accurate assessment of the radiation environment. This data transfer capability ensures that all measurements are logged and stored for comprehensive record-keeping and future reference.
