The Atomtex AT1117M Radiation monitor is a multi-purpose radiation monitor. It can be equipped with a variety of external smart probes for different applications, as required.

The control of the monitor operation and data indication is through a hand-held PC. Data can be transferred from the smart probe to the hand-held PC using a cable (where wireless communication is undesired) or by Bluetooth wireless technology (with interface adapter).

Measurement continuity and real time statistical processing of measurement results are provided by an operation algorithm.

This monitor is designed for the measurement of:

• Real-time search for sources of ionizing radiation and radioactive materials.
• Air kerma and air kerma rate.
• Directed dose equivalent and directed dose equivalent rate of gamma and X radiation.
• Ambient dose equivalent and ambient dose equivalent rate of gamma and X-ray radiation.
• Surface activity and disintegration of 239Pu and 90Sr + 90Y.
• Flux density of 39Pu alpha and beta particles from contaminated surfaces.

Selected areas of application:

• Radiation monitoring during decontamination operations.
• Radiation protective means in the case of nuclear disasters.
• Sanitary and epidemiological inspection.
• Radioecology.
• Emergency rescue service.
• Civil protection.
• Nuclear industry.
• Research activities.
• Customs control.

The hand-held PC provides the following functionality:

• Sound and visual alarm when threshold level is exceeded for dose, dose rate, flux density and surface activity.
• Processing and display of measurement data.
• Automatic recording and storing of over 10,000 measurements with GPS referencing.
• Automatic and manual data transfer to a remote server.
• GPS referencing of measurement results.
• Data can be loaded to PC for further analysis and processing in professional GARM Software.
• Battery charge indication for handheld PC and interface adapter.

Equipment variations:

1. The smart probe and interface adapter can be attached to a holder with a handle. The handheld PC can be either carried by hand, worn on a belt, in a backpack or affixed to the operator’s chest. Communication between the handheld PC and the interface adapter can be done by either Bluetooth interface or cable.
2. The smart probe and interface adapter can be carried in a backpack.
3. The smart probe and interface adapter can be attached to a bar.
4. The handheld PC can be mounted on a tripod.
