Rad-DXG
The portable Rad-DXG is a ruggedized, portable gateway monitor that can be utilized to screen large numbers of persons quickly for low levels of gamma and beta radiation. The portable Rad-DXG utilizes up to 6 large area plastic scintillation detectors designed to meet the measuring requirements of FEMA standard for portable portal monitors. The instrument is weather resistant, light weight, and easy to assemble without tools. There are four product models: Four detectors on the sides (RAD-DXG-P4) Five detectors, four on the sides and one on top (RAD-DXG-P5T) Five detectors, four on the sides and one on bottom (RAD-DXG-P5B) Six detectors, four on the sides, one on the top, and one on the bottom (RAD-DXG-P6)
