PORTABLE ISOTOPE IDENTIFIER [TYPE-PI 1002]
Technical Data
Features
Portable Isotope Identifier PI 1002 is primarily designed to detect and identify multiple nuclides. It provides quantified results using field strength analysis and stores the results and spectrum for future reference. The instrument can be operated in the Identifier, MCA, and Dosimeter modes of operation for data acquisition. This instrument performs all the tasks needed in the field survey for the detection & quantification of radioisotopes.
Administrative mode allows a person to see the internal configuration and settings of the instrument that are used for identification of radio isotopes.
This instrument has a simple user interface and a wide range of setup functions and utilities. It can be connected to a remote computer using a USB Serial cable, and can be accessed with any RS-232/USB program that allows the user to capture the file in *.txt format. It is then accessed with PHAST (quantitative analysis) software which provides full functionality of MCA (Multi Channel Analyzer) analysis with all necessary options to do advanced offline analysis possible using MCA.
Isotope identifier facilitates connection to (2” x 2”) / (3”x 3”)NaI integral assembly external or built in to the unit for less than (1½” X 1½ “)detectorsize.
Built in electronics, consists of (0-1200V)@ 0.5A HV module, PMT bleeder circuit , Pre Amp, ADC, controller based data acquisition hardware with 3½ “ color TFT- LCD display etc. It is powered by 7.4V, 5200mAh x 2, Li-ion battery pack. Additionally AC power adapter of 9V, 1500 ma, for battery charger isincluded. Optional devices include: A personal computer / laptop and PHAST software.
