The Model 702e Isotope Identifier with an external NaI detector provides end users like first responders a simple tool to quickly locate any abnormal levels of radioactivity and accurately identify the isotopes present. It additionally offers several advanced features for well-trained experts seeking to perform more detailed analysis either in the field or in a laboratory. Connection to a PC is available via a built-in Ethernet connection where stored or real-time collected data can be processed by optional isotopic analysis programs, such as the Quantum software (available upon request).
The 700-Series employs time-slicing and patented Quantum Compression Conversion (QCC) technology that delivers improved energy resolution, real-time background subtraction, and the highest degrees of sensitivity. These units have a trace amount of 40K embedded to provide gain stabilization and self-calibration. All captured spectra data are stored to a removable compact flash card in ANSI N42.42 standard format. This convenient storage medium facilitates quick removal for review elsewhere as well as allowing virtually an unlimited number of spectra to be collected while in the field.

These instruments were the very first ones designed to meet ANSI N42.34 Performance Criteria for Handheld Instruments for the Detection and Identification of Radionuclides. The design was also optimized for portability, user-friendliness, and rugged use out in the field.

An ergonomic shape and excellent balance allow them to be operated with a single (gloved) hand with easy thumb access to a set of very large tactile type control buttons. The 8.9 cm (3.5 in.) color LCD is a transflective type, which actually brightens with use in bright sunlight conditions that typically render other types of LCDs useless. The use of color on the different displays is intelligently applied signifying the appropriate activity levels for capturing spectra, labeling isotope categories, and presenting alarms. Audible feedback and voice alerts further enhance the user interface. The instrument is powered with eight internal rechargeable AA NiMH batteries, and comes with a 35W, 12V or 15V universal adapter (depending on system revision), and has a 9V fused accessory adapter.
