The PM1703-II series personal radiation detectors (PRDs) are highly sensitive and rugged devices that can detect and locate even trace amounts of radioactive materials.
Equipped with a clip for multiple carrying options and easy to operate even for non-specialists, PRDs became the perfect fit as radiation beepers for public security services, including border controls, rescue teams, police and anti-terrorist units that need to quickly search for radioactive materials in public places.
PM1703GNA-II models are gamma neutron PRDs equipped with a high-sensitivity scintillator for measuring the personal dose rate up to 300 µSv/h.

Working principle
PM1703GNA-II models are gamma neutron PRDs equipped with a high-sensitivity scintillator for measuring the personal dose rate up to 300 µSv/h. While ensuring high-quality detection for any scenario, the PM1703-II PRD provides confidence in personal safety by continuously monitoring the measured dose equivalent rate and alerting the user with visual, audible and vibrating alarms when preset radiation thresholds are exceeded.
Operating history is stored in the instrument’s non-volatile memory (up to 2000 data points), protecting data even if the battery is removed. The stored data can also be transferred to a PC via USB. The storage data format is designed to comply with ANSI N42.42.
The PRD has a special operating mode “Mode 0…9” specifically designed for monitoring the gamma radiation dose rate within a numerical range. This mode is particularly user-friendly, making it easier for non-professionals to understand and navigate.
Polimaster PRDs offer a significant advantage with their NORM suppression algorithm. This algorithm distinguishes alarm signals when there is an increase in the natural gamma background values and detection of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). When NORMs are detected, a green indicator light is displayed. However, if other types of radionuclides (IND, NUC, MED) are detected, a red indicator light and an audible alarm will be activated. This feature provides clear and distinct indications based on the specific type of radiation being detected.
