Walk-thru Personnel Survey for Gamma Radiation
Collapsible and Portable
This portal monitor features a full color VGA touch screen. Plastic scintillation detectors cover four quadrants of the human body. The AM-801 was designed specifically to detect gamma radiation, but some higher energy beta radiation is detectable. The alarm rate is adjustable; the portal monitor will detect a Cs-137 source as low as one microCurie. The electronics are all digital, microprocessor controlled. This portal monitor fits into a hard case; the entire package weighs approximately 100 lbs. The case is easily moved via casters and handle. The portal monitor is assembled without tools in less than ten minutes. This device is user-friendly and requires minimal training. The user has the option of an AC or DC power source. A quick response time of 100 milli seconds allows 500 persons to be processed per hour. An optional vehicle monitor kit is available for this portal monitor. The AM-801 Personnel Radiation Monitor was rated First in Portal Monitors in an NUSTL Report for the DHS.
