ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY FOR A SAFER WORLD
Spectroscopic Personal Radiation Detector
The microRaider™ is a state-of-the-art Spectroscopic
Personal Radiation Detector (SPRD) with solid state,
CZT detectors. It combines the capabilities of a
Personal Radiation Detector (PRD) with the radionuclide
identification capabilities of a Radio-Isotope Identification
Detector (RIID) into one conveniently small package. The
microRaider provides great sensitivity along with realtime,
accurate radionuclide identification.
The microRaider is operated through three, easy to use
buttons: on/off on top, select and execute on either side,
with informative display prompts shown in the display
header. High-intensity status LE Ds are visible from the
top and front of the unit with a large, bright, full-color
display. In addition to the visible alarms the microRaider
also features a speaker for alarm tones and a proportional
vibration alarm.
The microRaider comes standard with both a web server
interface and Bluetooth® wireless communication
capability plus earpiece. The web server allows for data
transfer, live data monitoring and instrument configuration
using only standard internet browsing software. An option
is available for reach-back communication when used with
a Bluetooth/DUN capable cell phone. The microRaider
provides event recording with a built-in VGA resolution
digital camera and microphone with voice recorder. The 1
GB internal SD memory card facilitates the secure storage
of more than 1600 events.
The microRaider is light weight, only 13.8 ounces (390
g) and easily worn in a holster that hooks onto the user’s
belt. It is equally small enough to be held and operated
in one hand. The microRaider is also dust-tight and
waterproof and will survive and continue to operate after
a 4.9 ft (1.5 m) drop onto concrete.
