The nukeALERT II 1703M is the latest generation in radiation
detection for non-technical personnel. In the event of a radiological emergency,
first response team members equipped with a nukeALERT II can immediately survey
a large area for any radiological presence because of a dramatic improvement in
detector sensitivity and response time. The instrument discreetly detect
radiation and alert the operator through a vibration or audible alarm. Ease of
use, sensitivity and durability under harsh environmental conditions make the
nukeALERT II essential for those who work in emergency services, hazardous
materials, counter-terrorism, border patrol, law enforcement, military, or
medical and industrial applications.
The 1703M offers two critical operation modes: the first mode incorporates a 1-9
strength indicator scale for simple analysis of sources present and the second
mode provides exposure rate readings and accumulated dose information commonly
found in dosimeters. The instrument employs an algorithm which enables the user
to adjust the settings to minimize false alarms in high background level
environments without compromising the probability of detecting a source.
This model has a belt clip and bright visual display which promotes hands-free
operation. The shock resistant housing provides a watertight, robust monitoring
tool for the most demanding emergency response applications. Tests have shown
the nukeALERT II is more sensitive and responsive than commonly used first
responder meters. Data—including the alarm event and time, and level of alarm
exceedance relative to the preset threshold—for up to 1000 incident histories
may be stored in the non-volatile memory of this instrument. All of this data
may be transmitted to a PC through the IR channel for processing, analysis and
control.
