• Plug and play
• Low power consumption
• ICRP60 compliant
The SVLD probe for measurement of Very Low Dose equivalent rate is designed to be used with CSP instruments such as Radiagem™ meter, MIP 10 Digital™ meter, Avior or Colibri units. Its CsI(Tl) detector with specific energy compensation (patent pending) makes it an ideal tool for differentiating background dose-rate starting from 10 nSv/h. Most portable dose equivalent rate instruments only estimate the background radiation exposure. The SVLD device is designed to quickly and accurately measure very low dose equivalent rates near background using a lightweight CSP compatible probe. Unlike heavy and very large probes, the SVLD probe's small size can be carried easily by a user in the field. The SVLD probe not only measures very low dose-rates but does not saturate up to 1 mSv/h (100 mR/h) covering most daily Health Physics duties.
The SVLD unit is the perfect choice for dose-rate control at radiation area boundaries and daily dose-rate measurements outside of radiation areas like inter-building paths in public areas. It is also very useful for interdiction situations in crowded areas and can be deployed at gates or pathways – its small size and wireless capability, when coupled with a CSP-COM module, make it the perfect low visibility monitoring device.
