SAPHYRAD – handheld radioactive contamination monitor
SaphyRAD is a multiprobe handheld device used for the detection of alpha & beta radioactive contaminations. Based on an integrated 20 nuclide library; suitable for nuclear industries and medical structures. Depending on the probe, the operator can either assess small or large areas to detect alpha, beta/gamma or alpha & beta/gamma radioactive contamination. All data can be stored on an SD card for measurement recordings.
SaphyRAD is designed for the detection & measurement of Alpha and/or Beta radiation sources with the use of external connected measuring probes. It has a wide dose rate range from 0.05 μGy/h to 10Gy/h. It is also compatible with external analog probes of other systems. Its innovative probes are equipped with a proximity sensor and embedded alarm. A clear and easy-to-check bar graph is displayed on high quality color screen in order to facilitate monitoring operations. It works with a specific algorithm which was developed for a very fast and reactive detection of radiation sources.
The SaphyRAD has data storage on a removable SD Card and 45 hours of autonomy thanks to its rechargeable Li-ion battery.
The SaphyRAD is compliant with all european standards especially in terms of compatibility with electromagnetic fields. It is also compliant with the international standard IEC60325.
