RS-220 Super-IDENT

Handheld Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
Hi-Sensitivity Search and Nuclide ID Capability

RS-220 - Ideal For Source location and ID
The RS-220 Spectrometer is the state-of-the-art in portable hand-held radiation search and identification devices for the steel and scrap Industry.  It offers an integrated design with a large detector for search, direct nuclide Identification readout and data storage.  With full weather protection and a rugged design the unit offers high sensitivity and good survivability in the challenging locations of the Steel and Scrap Industry.  The simple one-button operation makes the unit easy to use and simplifies training.  Bluetooth (BT) technology simplifies data outputs and reporting.

The RS-220 allows the user to produce profiles of the total count data in a special Scan mode if the user wants to profile or map an area of the scrap yard to more easily locate radioactive sources.  The data can be integrated with GPS data in real-time so a full mapping capability is possible.

Search and Scan Modes

Total Count readout at a 1x / sec rate in the Search Mode or variable (1 - 20 sec.) in the Scan Mode.  Large detector allows fast source location When used with a GPS receiver, data can be stored and profiles produced.  Ideal for area mapping and source location.


Nuclide Identification Mode


The Nuclide Identification mode provides direct Identification of any radioactive material present in a relatively short period.  The large detector (50% bigger than most units) permit higher levels of performance and faster ID.

RS-Analyst Software


The RS-220 is provided with utility software running on the users PC to download the data that is stored in memory and interface to the unit for parameter setup etc. All data in memory is output via Bluetooth or USB to the RS-Analyst program on a PC.  This may take the form of 1024 channel spectra, Nuclide ID data or Scan data + GPS.  The program also gives graphical and numeric views of the data.  The data can also be re-exported as a text file for further processing.
