RadEye PRD configurationRadEye softwareAll settings and the data analysis can be done using the optional Windows - basedRadEye PRD logbookPC-software, and an accompanying reader device. In order to allow post-event analysis,the latest 1,600 dose rate values are stored in the data memory. For each datalogginginterval both the mean and the maximum measurement values are stored.Changes in configuration, along with alarms and errors, are saved in the RadEyememory. These events can be read out via the “logbook”. It is shown as a table and canbe saved to the PC or printed. The logbook has a maximum of 250 data sets. Severalevents that occur at the same time are saved as one record. On the display every eventis shown in one line for a clear view.RadEye PRD history5

The RadEye PRD represents a high-performancemeasuring device for anyone responsible for findingradiation sources whether they be first preventers (border guards,typical electronic dosimeter.When looking for lost or hidden radiation sources orcontaminated materials, it is paramount to use a tool with highsensitivity and high selectivity.The RadEye PRD achieves this through a special technique basedon our patented Natural Background Rejection (NBR) technology.It is the only instrument of its type and size to achieve this.The RadEye PRD incorporates a high sensitivity NaI(Tl)scintillation detector with a miniature photo-multiplier allowingthe detection of very low radiation levels with particularemphasis on gamma emissions below 400 keV. Thus, in case ofa nuclear accident, the RadEye PRD is ideal for sensitive I-131detection and measurement.RadEye PRD #4250671Factory calibrated inexposure rate R/h6RadEye PRD #425067120Factory calibrated inH*(10) µSv/h
