Model 907 palmRAD Nuclear Radiation Meter0 pages
The palmRAD 907 is the ideal radiation detector for non-technical personnel in government, law
enforcement or the private sector. The instrument offers the highest sensitivity to radiation making it an
excellent tool for various applications including industrial, medical or emergency response.
Designed for maximum ease-of-use, the user need only point and measure to get a reading. A slide
switch on the front panel turns the unit on or off and also allows toggling between audible and silent
chirp modes. Another slide switch allows the user to reset total counts, or display the radiation activity
in mR/hr or CPM.
The Total/Timer feature takes timed readings for periods from one minute to 24 hours for precise measurement
of low-level contamination. Our "safety first" calibration feature can also eliminate radiation
exposure to the calibration technician. The palmRAD 907 display provides a 3-second update of a reading
during an exercise to assure that users are aware of the latest radiation levels. The handheld unit, comes
complete with a protective pouch which secures to the belt of the user while in operation or for transportation.
The palmRAD 907 meets CE certification requirements for Europe.
The optional stainless steel Wipe Test Plate slides easily onto the 907 positioning the depression and
wipe directly in front of the GM tube at a fixed distance of 1 centimeter. The Wipe Test Plate is removable
for general surveying or decontamination. It can also be used for protecting the GM from damage
and the instrument from being contaminated while the 907 is not in use.
Technical Support and Training
Berkeley Nucleonics provides technical support and training for the palmRAD 907 by phone from the
corporate headquarters in San Rafael, California. Guidance is provided on the optimal use of the instrument, setting alarms, basic
nuclear and radiation theory, dose quantities and units, and measurement of alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray radiation. On-site
training on use of the palmRAD 907 is available by arrangement. The number to call for assistance or to schedule on-site training is
800-234-7858.
Software Package Included
palmGRAPH™ is a Windows-compatible software package designed to record graph radiation measured by the palmRAD 907 over
time. When run in conjunction with an operating palmRAD 907, the software will notify the user when user-adjustable alert levels are
exceeded by actual radiation counts. This software utility also allows the user to measure, record and display radiation readings over
any period of time. With palmGRAPH, one can view current palmRAD readings or display and print graphs showing changes in
radiation levels over time. The palmGRAPH software is also useful for demonstrating gross count measurement theory in a classroom
or training setting.
The palmRAD 907 is an easy-to-use, portable radiation meter designed to accurately
detect and measure levels of radioactivity for a multitude of health and safety applications.
Lightweight and rugged in design, the palmRAD 907 is capable of detecting and
measuring alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray radiation using a 2-inch pancake GM detector
with high sensitivity to beta and alpha sources.
The palmRAD 907 features an easy-to-read digital display indicating readings in your
choice of mR/hr, CPM, CPS, or mSv/hr. The instrument also automatically compensates
for GM tube "dead time" which is the time after a single event that the tube is incapable
of detecting a second event. Anti-saturation circuitry prevents jamming in high radiation
fields. This feature eliminates failure in the event of a reading that "maxes out" the
operating range of the instrument.
