The PM1401K is a unique light-weight multipurpose hand held radionuclide identifier designed for easy detection and location of the alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation sources, precise measurement of the alpha and beta surface contamination levels and gamma dose rate, and reliable identification of the radioisotopes.
The PM1401K is able to distinguish between naturally occurring radiation materials (NORM), medical isotopes, industrial sources of radiation, which are potentially dangerous to the general population, and of the sources of radiation that are inherently dangerous, such as weapons-grade nuclear materials.
It comes with a pancake GM detector for radiation detection and a CsI(Tl) detector for identification.

The PM1401K performs the following functions:
-Isotope identification: both a single radionuclide and their mixtures.
-Detect, search and locate the alpha, beta, gamma (both modifications) and neutron (only PM1401K) radiation sources including nuclear weapon materials;
-Measurement of the alpha and beta surface contamination levels;
-Accurate measurement of the dose rate;
-User alert of the presence of a radiation source through audible and vibrating alarms;
-Recording and storing up to 500 event and 100 gamma spectra in its non-volatile memory;
-Transmitting all of the recorded data via IR or radio (Bluetooth) channels to a PC or PDA.
-Identify software for radionuclide identification on PC or PDA.
In contrast to the conventional radionuclide identifiers which need a calibration source build in and/or a regular calibration procedure for correct operation, the PM1401K does not require calibration due to the stable parameters of the CsI(Tl) crystal deployed in unique scintillation crystal-photodiode packing technology. The PM1401K can be used for the radioisotope identification of the radiation source using its built-in communication module and Polimaster proprietary identification software for PDA or laptop PC.
The PM1401K Kit comes with main unit, filters, belt clip, data transfer cable, batteries, software, manual.
