Gamma-only model transported in plastic protective cases and designed for fast deployment.
The PoliGate™ Deployable is a gamma-only Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM) highly sensitive deployable radiation monitor designed to detect radioactive and nuclear materials transported through a controlled area.
This fast deployable RPM is designed to provide high mobility and flexibility, allowing it to be used in various settings to screen individuals, vehicles, or cargo at the scene of an incident or in temporary screening situations such as at major public mass events.
Features
- No stop of an object is required for the inspection
- Lead shielding for natural background rejection
- Wide gamma energy range from 30 keV to 3 MeV
- Local and remote light and audible alarm annunciators
- Back-up battery providing at least 8 hours of operation
- Presence detection system (occupancy sensors)
- Adjustable sensitivity parameters for specific applications
- Optional video surveillance system
- Optional Ethernet / Wi-Fi connection
Applications
Temporary checkpoints for:
- Public events security
- Emergency response
- Customs and border
- Police and security
- Waste management sites
- Airports and seaports
- Industrial facilities
Operation Principle
The PoliGate™ Deployable RPM is a stationary system comprising independent units connected with the cables and designed for fast deployment in emergencies. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The RPM is transported and stored in protective transport cases. It can be easily moved to the needed location and deployed there in just 5 minutes by two people without any specialized tools.
Once switched on, the RPM provides continuous 24-hour personnel-free operation. In case of power failure, the power supply of the RPM automatically switches to power from the internal battery and is operable for at least 8 hours. The internal battery is charged automatically when the RPM is connected to a power supply and switched on.
The constituent parts of the RPM are the Control Block and Detection Blocks, accompanied by a set of mounting and connecting elements, and the laptop with the designated user software for the advanced operation of the RPM. 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.
