Electronic dosimeter

October 2008 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

The EPD Mk2 electronic personal dosimeter from Thermo Scientific reliably alerts personnel of potentially dangerous ionising radiation when working in radioactive areas. Together with its range of software solutions, the EPD Mk2 is suitable for all dosimeter applications. Easy to use, the unit, together with its advanced radiological performance and multidetector technology, provides an excellent response to gamma, beta and x-radiation.

The small, lightweight unit is immune to electromagnetic interference and provides loud and visual configurable alarms for dose and dose rate. The unit meets IP55 protection for dust and water ingression to the level of low pressure jets from all directions.

A single alkaline AA battery powers the unit continuously for approximately seven weeks. An interrogation software package incorporating distance infrared communication up to a distance of 1 m is also available. The EPD Mk2 is capable of retaining data up to 10 years without a battery, and display and function control is via a single button on the front of the unit.
