1. Introduction

The Radiation Detection, Dose- and Dose Rate Monitor
RadEye PRD-ER is a highly sensitive and rugged measuring
device to detect and localize radiation sources and to measure
the dose rate of gamma radiation. The RadEye PRD-ER is
designed to meet the requirements in the ANSII standard
42.32 and 42.33 part 1 and IEC 62401.
A characteristic feature of the RadEye PRD-ER is the use of so-
phisticated low power technology components and microproces-
sor based fully automatic selfchecks. No maintenance is required.
The RadEye PRD-ER incorporates a highly sensitive NaI (Tl)
scintillation detector which is equipped with a miniature photo-
multiplier allowing the detection of very low radiation levels.
With the help of specific proprietary circuitry developed by
Thermo Scientific the equivalent dose rate measuring range is
extended up to 100 mSv/h (10 rem/h). Thus, the RadEye PRD-
ER does not only represent a high-performance measuring device
for persons who are responsible for detecting and localizing radi-
ation sources, but incorporates as well the features of a wide
range dose rate meter and dosimeter. In this context it is im-
portant to note, that users may select "R/h" as a display unit, with
the understanding that the energy response characteristic is not
altered by this selection.
