4.Applications Homeland Security/ Real-time Data for Crisis Control: Homeland security has become a top priority in recent years to assure the safety of individuals around the world. Personnel must be prepared to deter and respond to potential exposure to radiation. If asked to perform duties in an environment where radiation may be present, assessing exposure levels is crucial and reporting on a regular basis a necessity. RAYCAN understands how critical it is that all personnel be protected to reduce or avoid short-term, or acute, exposure to radiation. State and Federal Agencies/ Military: Many state and federal and Military agencies work in environments that monitor radiation programs or environments as well as carry the responsibility for crisis management in the event of an emergency. Ensuring public health, safety, and the integrity of our environment is the primary concern of these government organizations and safety personnel. First Responders: In any emergency situation, time is of the essence. First responders to any critical scene may not know immediately if the area has been contaminated. Therefore, it is imperative that those first to respond to a crisis carry radiation monitoring dosimeters. First Responders may include law enforcement, fire personnel, emergency medical teams, HAZMAT, or even state, federal or military organizations. RAYCAN recognizes the special requirements of these agencies. RadPavise | Personal Radiation Detector is specifically tailored to the requirements of any agency. 5.Benifit Statement ● As an “Active Self Reading” device, BOTH dose rate AND accumulated dose are measured in real time enabling user to always be aware of current exposure. ● Large OLED display offers user readability in dark or bright environments. ● 3 types of alarms - our users are alerted by a multitude of ways: vibration, audible and flashing lights ● Alarm - either preset or user programmable through entire measurement range ● Intuitive menu-driven navigation allows user to adjust settings in the field ● Easy operation with one hand with just two buttons allowing total control with a thumb ● Proportional real-time “Detection and Measurement” provides meaningful readouts which focus on the awareness and safety of the user during critical times ● Patented MVT sampling method resulting in no signal loss and high signal to noise ratio ● Low-power CMOS digital electronics combined with digital silicon photomultiplier chip (SiPM) ● Dose and dose rate alarms provide additional awareness of high radiation levels.
6.Operation 1. Turn on: Long press OK button for 2 seconds and release the button when hear the startup sound and feel the vibration, the equipment will show the boot screen. Two seconds after the boot is completed， it will automatically enter to the main interface and start measuring the environmental radiation levels, then display the dose equivalent rate. 2. Shutdown: Long press OK key for 2 seconds in any interfaces, release the button after the shutdown picture appear. Interface switching: Press the Page-turning button on the left side to switch interfaces. 3. Dose rate interface: this is a main interface and it automatically shows up after the boot. The data column/bar shows the dose equivalent rate. ( shall be 0.016 ! I copied same image for many times, the error is still here, it might be Mac book system error) Count rate interface: using (CPS) as the unit, displays the count rate for the detector. 4. The cumulative dose of interface: data column shows two groups of dose
data, the first line shows the cumulative measured dose after this boot, the second line shows the measured dose for this single time since the last measurement was cleaned up to zero. 5. Source interface: data column with the histogram shows dose equivalent rate trends within the last 2 minutes, to guide users to find or stay away from radiation sources. 6.
