Personal Compact Dosimeter PM1604A (B) | Polimaster, Inc.

General Description
The compact personal dosimeter PM1604A(B) is a miniature energy-compensated personal dosimeter that measures both personal dose equivalent and personal dose equivalent rate of both gamma and X-ray radiation. Recommended for professionals who work with or around the radioactive materials. The instrument automatically compares the average dose and dose rate of gamma radiation from the detector with the alarm threshold value chosen by the user. If the threshold value is exceeded, the instrument triggers an audible alarm. The user interface has friendly controls for routine operation and is characterized by simplicity, as well as by the convenient location of control buttons to switch between modes and settings. Thus the device can be operated even by the non-trained users, without any experience in radiation control.

Technical Description
The dosimeter measures personal dose equivalent and personal dose equivalent rate of both gamma and X-ray radiation in a wide range. The functionality of the device based on the principle that some materials (radiation detectors) can register and detect gamma radiation. Production technology utilizes Geiger-Muller counters. Geiger-Muller counter utilizes small metal tubes filled with inert gas. When gas molecules inside the tube are excited by the incident radiation, they create an electrical current for the readout. The magnitude of the current is proportional to the energy of an incident photons and therefore of dose of incident radiation.
