1 fire IdentiFINDER Digital Hand Held Spectrometer & The world s smallest spectrometer and dose rate meter designed for portable applications. safety security identifinder - CH (yellow) CZT and neutron detector version identifinder - N (red) Standard version defence identifinder - NH (blue) Standard version with neutron detector Features This instrument will distinguish man-made and natural isotopes; it combines high sensitivity with a wide dose rate range. It performs gamma spectrometry and nuclide identification. It is a complete digital gamma spectroscopy and dose rate system, it integrates multi-channel analyser, amplifier, high voltage power supply, and memory with an integral scintillation detector; it is well suited for remote applications, advanced warning systems, hazardous environments and nuclear inventory monitoring. It can be used with standard detector Ø 1_ x 2_ NaI(Tl), or the optional available BGO or CdWo detector as well as CdZnTe. A built-in 137 Cs reference source (<500 Bq/15 nci) is used for online stabilisation and insitu calibration without user interaction. This special feature allows operational temperatures between 15 C and +55 C and large temperature gradients. It can be connected to a computer via infrared, or connected to a desktop or notebook PC, the unit provides qualitative and quantitative in-situ analysis with optional wintmcapro software. Page 1 of 5

2 Up to 70 spectra of 1,024 channels can be stored in the unit and directly transferred to any PC for further and advanced analysis. Standard wintmca software is part of delivery. Spectrum Display Versatile Windows based software for NaI-spectroscopy. Carrying case Spectrum Display Versatile Windows based software for NaI-spectroscopy. Functions A hand held instrument for mobile gamma spectrometry with dose rate display, accumulated dose display, source finder and automatic nuclide identification capability.
