The PM12 gamma portal monitor breaks new ground in personnel monitoring. It provides a major improvement in sensitivity over similar instruments, thus leading to faster monitoring.
Product Detail
The PM12 utilizes eight identical large gamma-sensitive plastic scintillation detectors to monitor personnel passing through the portal. Traffic flow can be either direction. Three detector assemblies are located in each side of the portal, with additional detectors to monitor the head and feet. The PM12 maintains the simple operation of its predecessor the PM7. In its basic form no keypads or complicated displays are necessary. The only user control is an alarm acknowledge switch, which is used to silence the audible alarm after contamination has been detected. The operational status of the portal is clearly indicated by a set of vertical system indicator lights located on both sides of the portal frame.
