Advanced Spectroscopic Radionuclide Pager - (ASRP)

INTERCEPTORTM•Finds Faster - Superior gamma & neutron sensitivity

•Identifies Promptly & Accurately - All-In-One Instrument with superior identification accuracy

•Better Coverage – PRD wearers become RIID users as well, superior built in reach back capability

•Lower Cost of Ownership - Low acquisition & operational costs

INTERCEPTOR™ Operation – LED Indications

Red LED blinks to indicate gamma alarm

Green LED indicates that the unit is “alive” as well as the battery and charging status

Blue LED blinks to indicate neutron alarm

14

Charging Battery

Lithium Ion requires between 5 and 12 hours for full charge Battery service life – 2~3years (300-500 charges).

18

operation - flipping screen

pressing the action button flips the display by 180 degrees, allowing an easy view whilst in holster and attached to the belt.

19

operation - dose rate mode

this mode displays gamma dose rate in numerical and logarithmic scale, and the neutron count rate numerical value. The gamma preset pre-alarm and full alarm levels.

20

operation - FINDER mode

In addition to the gamma dose rate and neutron count rate a histogram is displayed. The histogram helps to locate a source faster. Any changes in the radiation level are displayed in the histogram. Also an audible signal with its frequency equivalent to the ambient dose rate is generated.

21

operation – timer/counter mode

this displays the accumulated gamma dose and neutron counts.

22

operation - identification

the time needed for identification is constantly updated and displayed on the screen.

23

operation - identification

after the InterceptorTM has acquired sufficient data the identification results are displayed (probability, nuclide category and isotope).

24

operation - identification

After an identification the user has the option to view the spectrum.

25

Isotope ID Confidence

26

operation – voice recorder mode

the InterceptorTM can also be used as a digital voice recorder. Voice messages (.wav files) are stored in the spectrum directory with a timestamp.

27

operation – setting mode

this mode allows the user to change alarm conditions or adjust the display brightness.

28

INTERCEPTOR™ - Nuclide List

The new ANSI spec for ID Pagers is likely to ask for 25-30 specific isotopes, which we will have in the main library.

Then a secondary library of 45-60 isotopes will be available to ID from this secondary list of extra isotopes when failing to ID from the primary library or when requested by operator entries..

This will allow customers to configure there unit to get the best performance and meet the ANSI standards and then add additional specific isotopes of concern.
