Detectors:

• YSO + SiPM

DAQ algorithm:

• Patented MVT digital sampling method

Wireless communication:

• RadTarge II, RadPavise: RFID (available in RFID variants)
• RadWall: ZigBee

YSO vs. NaI:

• NaI is easily deliquesced
• NaI is toxic
• NaI is fragile
• NaI needs to be sealed in aluminum alloy to prevent deliquescing and damage, increasing the size and weight of the detector

YSO vs. Ion Chamber:

• Ion chamber needs to be large in order to have good detection capability
• At the same size, YSO has much higher sensitivity
• Ion chamber is extremely sensitive to the environment (i.e. humidity, temperature, air pressure)

Yes; when the battery is running low, the measurement is still accurate.

RadTarge II, RadPavise

The battery indicator on the screen shows the remaining charge on the battery.

After running out of battery, the device continues to work for 4 hours.

After 4 hours, the battery indicator flashes for 6 seconds before the device shuts down.

RadWall S

If there is no external power source, RadWall S will continue to run on its backup battery for 10 hours.

Turn off the device to charge it faster.

RadTarge II

RadTarge II D300 and D700 need 2 hours to fully charge.

When the device is charging, the red light will turn on. After it is fully charged, the red light will turn off.

RadPavise

RadPavise needs 3–4 hours to fully charge.

When the device is charging, the green light will turn on. After it is fully charged, the green light will turn off.

Because our devices are all-digital instruments, there is no need to perform general maintenance and operation.

Battery changes are unnecessary as our devices use rechargeable batteries.

Devices do not need calibration to work properly.

However, depending on the rules and regulations of your industry, you may be required to regularly calibrate your equipment for quality assurance purposes.

Yes; calibration software is available to distributors and testing labs.

RadTarge II, RadPavise

RadTarge II D300, RadTarge II D700, and RadPavise are calibrated using calibration software on a PC via USB.

RadWall S

RadWall S100 and RadWall S300 are calibrated using calibration software on a PC via IoT-Cloud.

Yes; the calibration manual will be available soon.

RadTarge II, RadPavise

The device is expected to stay within operational parameters without need for calibration for at least 1 year.

RadTarge II, RadPavise

Device:

• 43,800 data points (5 years at 1-hour intervals)
• Work log (5,000 items: turn on/off time, alarm on/off time)

Software:

• Unlimited

RadWall S

Device:

• No need for data storage; real-time air absorption dose rates and alarming

Software:

• Unlimited

Our devices store data on a flash chip.

RadTarge II, RadPavise

Yes, the integrated/accumulated dose reading stays in memory when the device is turned off.

The dose rate upper limit, 1 mSv/h, is 100 mrem/h when converted to traditional units, which isn’t too low. A comparable competitor’s model, Thermo Scientific’s RadEye PRD, has an upper limit of only 25 mrem/h (250 µSv/h).

Our devices’ sensitivity is very high at 340 cps/mrem/h (34 cps/μSv/h) for RadTarge II and RadPavise; as a trade-off, the upper limit on the dose rate cannot be quite as high.

The next iteration of these devices, which will be available in October 2015, will have an upper limit of 10 rem/h (100 mSv/h). However, the sensitivity will not be as high as the previous versions.

RadSuite-Dose is available for Mac and Windows.

RadWall S

Currently, the software only runs on Windows PCs. However, web-based software compatible with Windows and Mac will be available soon.

H_p(10) and H_p(0.07) are personal dose equivalents, which represent the probability of stochastic health effects from radiation.

• H_p(10) is the deep dose equivalent. It is the equivalent dose at 10 mm below a specified point of the body.
• H_p(0.07) is the shallow dose equivalent, also referred to as skin dose equivalent or surface dose equivalent. It is the equivalent dose at 0.07 mm below the surface of the body.

Currently, RadTarge II measures Hp(10). The option to switch between Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) will be added to future iterations of RadTarge II.

Yes; RadWall comes with a UL certified AC adapter.

We offer a 1-year warranty on our devices.

ZigBee is a secure, wireless mesh network standard. RadWall S uses ZigBee to communicate wirelessly with IoT-Cloud, which connects RadWall S to the software, allowing readings to be shown on the computer.

Connectivity on RadWall S covers a distance of 3,300 ft (1,000 m) without obstruction.

RadWall S can connect without issue with one or two walls in the way, although less distance is covered.

Up to 100 RadWall S units can connect to each IoT-Cloud.

Yes; cloud-based software will be available at the end of 2016.

Because our devices are all-digital instruments, there is no need to perform general maintenance and operation.

Battery changes are unnecessary as our devices use rechargeable batteries.

The device performs a self-check every time it is turned on. If something is wrong, it will display “ERROR” on the screen.
