PM5000B series of Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs) is a high-sensitive fixed system designed for permanent installation and providing continuous radiation detection and monitoring of moving objects.
RPMs have a modular design and are available in one-pillar or two-pillar configurations, adaptable height and width according to customer requirements.
PM5000B RPM is an essential tool for safeguarding against the potential threat of nuclear materials entering secure areas and can be used for screening trains, trucks, vehicles, cargo containers, luggage and people.
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
The Polimaster RPMs operate with precision and efficiency, ensuring continuous measurement of radiation levels while allowing seamless data transfer to software for comprehensive analysis and monitoring.
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.
