The PM***5 survey meter incorporates a large energy compensated GM
tube for precise measurement of the ambient equivalent dose rate of
the X-ray and gamma radiation in the range from background level to
**0 mSv/h (*0 R/h). By opening the special screen-filter and
choosing beta radiation flux density measurement mode, the
instrument allows to estimating the intensity of the contamination
of surfaces of various environmental objects from beta radiation
sources. Being compact in size and light weighted the survey meters
may be used for search, detection and localization of gamma and
beta radiation sources. The search process is accompanied by sound
and light signals with the intensity of the signal proportional to
the radiation rate. Product features: - Simultaneous and selective
measurement of the gamma and beta radiation intensity - Audible and
visual alarms at the levels, exceeding user preset threshold values
and in the radiation source search mode - Non-volatile memory - PC
communication via USB interface and the ability for networking
instrument with automatic data collection into a server based
centralized database - Indication of the battery discharge level -
Simple and intuitive user interface The unique PM***5 user software
allows to connect and network in information system up to three
hundred instruments, as well as to carry out direct (software local
mode) or remote (software remote mode) control, monitoring and
information collection from all connected ***5. The user software
performs continuous radiation control with transfer of the
information from the instrument to a client PC (local mode) and
server PC (remote mode). The PM***5 user software enables: - Higher
work efficiency of radiation control services personnel, first
responders, employees of security service and customs, as well as
personnel whose work includes solving problems of local gamma and
beta radiation sources detection or single objects contaminated by
gamma and/or beta radiation sources (for example, to determine
radioactive contamination of banknotes, scrap, etc.) - Transfer of
information about radiation situation on the controlled area or
object in online mode - Creation of automatic reports about control
efficiency during the detection of radioactive contamination by
beta and gamma sources - Early warning about probability of
radiation contamination
