Isotope Identifier with Internal Detector

702i MCA 702i MCA isotope identifier with internal detector

Features

The Model 702i Isotope Identifier with an internal NaI detector provides end users such as first responders a simple tool to quickly locate 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 Quadratic Compression Conversion (QCC) technology that delivers improved energy resolution, real-time background subtraction, and the highest degree of sensitivity. Trace amount of 40K are 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 permits quick review of data as well as allowing virtually an unlimited number of spectra to be collected while in the field.

The instrument’s design is optimized for ease of portability, userfriendliness, and rugged use out in the field. The ergonomic shape and overall balance allow the Model 702i to be operated with a single (gloved) hand, with easy thumb access to a set of large tactile-type control buttons. The detector is internal, allowing for a sensitive but compact isotope identification instrument.

The 8.9 cm (3.5 in.) color LCD is a transflective type that brightens with use in the bright sunlight conditions that typically render other types of LCDs useless. The employment of the different colors on the different displays is intelligently applied to signify 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.
