DMC3000 Neutron Module
The Neutron Module provides operational dosimetry for Military, First Responders and radiation workers where there is a Neutron radiation risk.
The add-on Neutron Module attaches to the DMC 3000 dosimeter and is able to measure Hp(10) radiation at a wide range of energy levels. The Hp(10) Neutron measurements, display and alarms are highly visible on the DMC 3000’s LEDs and high contrast backlit LCD display.
Powered by the DMC 3000, the add-on module does not require any supplementary battery and remains operational over 2400 hours in continuous use. Calibration and functional parameters are stored in the module.
Features:
- Full Neutron energy range coverage
- Superior gamma rejection in Neutron channel
- Meets or exceeds applicable IEC and ANSI standards
- Designed for ruggedness and durability
- Plug and play
- Excellent EMC Immunity
- Waterproof IP67
- Removal of module when not needed
