The RDS-110V Military Radiac Set is a vehicle-mounted radiation detector for defense personnel conducting nuclear survey operations.
The RDS-110V military radiac set is designed to detect and measure dose rate and accumulated dose derived from gamma-ray and beta radiation. This rugged, lightweight equipment combines unparalleled performance and reliability and may be carried by an operator or installed in a vehicular mount (optional). Features include wide dynamic ranges, pre-settable alarms, 600 hr battery life, nuclear hardening, EMP resistance, and compliance with MIL-STD-810G. Operable by personnel in MOPP IV or arctic clothing. Uses Time-to-Count technique for outstanding linearity and includes SMART probe technology with embedded calibration factors. Optional RS-232 interface for computer control and data downloads. Suitable for personnel, aircraft, and vehicle applications.
