NeutronRAE-II
RAE Systems NeutronRAE II is a personal radiation detector that provides rapid detection of both gamma and neutron sources. The NeutronRAE II’s high sensitivity can alert users to the presence of a radiation threat well before they might be exposed to health-threatening levels.
List of Benefits
- Quick detection of radiological threats
- Alerts the wearer with a loud audible buzzer, bright flashing LEDs, and a built-in vibration alarm
- Water resistant/immersible
- Dose accumulator tracks total dose exposure from gamma radiation
- NeutronRAE II is designed in compliance with IEEE ANSI N42.32 standard
.
The NeutronRAE II features a loud audible alarm, bright flashing LEDs, and a vibration alarm. Each alarm can be disabled separately. NeutronRAE II’s water-resistant design makes for reliable operation in wet environments and for easy decontamination.
