 A walk-through portal monitor to automatically screen pedestrian traffic for radioactive materials.
Portal Monitor for Indoor or Outdoor Installation
Continuously Screens Moving Pedestrians
Easy to Relocate
Cost Effective
The TSA PM702 personnel portal monitor was designed for monitoring applications that require less sensitivity or for situations that require a semi—portable monitor. While it has adequate sensitivity for security applications, it is primarily designed for use in hospitals, laboratories, and other locations where radioactive Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) need to be monitored.
Cost Effective, Reliable Detection
The TSA PM702 portal monitor is a highly reliable system for the radiometric protection of special nuclear material (SNM). It exceeds the criteria for an ASTM Standard C 1169 Category II* SNM monitor which will detect 10 grams of 23‘-‘U (HEU) on a walk-through basis when using the stop feature.
Flexible Design
The TSA PM702 is suitable for indoor or outdoor installation. The system consists of three main components; two vertical pillars each containing an organic plastic scintillator detector, and a crossover pillar. An optional step through feature provides optimal SNM monitoring.
Easy—to—Operate and Manage
A numeric keypad alarm with an LCD display attaches to the pillar and provides both audible and visual alarm indicators. The system operates from an internal battery. Under normal conditions the memory should be adequate to store data for at least 3 months of operation.
Interface Options
The TSA PM702 is compatible with TSA RAVEN“ communications software designed to both capture and view data and video images relating to a radiological detection incident.
