PM1704 Series
The PM1704 series handheld radiation detectors combine radiation detection, radioisotope identifier, and dosimeter capabilities. The PM1704 is a basic model of the PM1704 product line containing a single, spectroscopic CsI detector with a 13 mR/h maximum exposure rate range (versus 1,300 R/h for the PM1704M). The PM1704A-M uses CsI and GM detectors with gamma sensitivity of no less than 1 cps/µrem/h.
