IdentiFinder R440

The identiFINDER R440 is a lightweight, sourceless radionuclide identification device (RID) that delivers sensitive detection and fast results for routine survey or secondary screening response missions.

Its light weight makes single-handed operation easy during extended operations, while the IP67-rated enclosure is built to survive. The bold, easy-to-read interface with 360° EasyFinder mode expedites decision-making to keep personnel and the community safe.

IDENTIFINDER R440

Highly Sensitive, Sourceless Handheld RID

The identiFINDER R440 is a lightweight, sourceless radionuclide identification device (RID) that delivers sensitive detection and fast results for routine survey or secondary screening response missions. The R440 is available with NaI, NaIL, CLLBC and LaBr detector options to respond to radiological threats from farther away, behind heavier shielding, and with better resolution than similarly-sized RIDs. The extended energy range provides neutron indication in the NaI (G) version.

Its light weight makes single-handed operation easy during extended operations, while the IP67-rated enclosure is built to survive. The bold, easy-to-read interface with 360° EasyFinder mode expedites decision-making to keep personnel and the community safe. Hot swappable batteries facilitate continuous operation on extended missions and the ability to charge batteries outside the instrument while the instrument is on standby ensures instant readiness in the response vehicle.

HIGHER PERFORMANCE IN A RUGGED FORM FACTOR

Adding to the advanced spectroscopic algorithm and sensitivity of the original R440, the new R440 adds optional, proven, higher resolution detection capability.

  • New high-resolution detectors join to the R440 family.

  • Detector options offer higher sensitivity and better resolution than comparatively sized RIDs.

  • Sourceless stabilization improves data collection, reducing false positives.

  • Improved ruggedness. Improved shock protection and a locking battery cap provides additional ruggedness.

ABILITY TO POWER THROUGH MISSIONS

Power flexibility, and usability means the new R440 will go the distance and complete the mission with you.

  • Power and performance for the entire mission. Hot swappable batteries allow the mission to continue uninterrupted.

  • Ready when you are. When seconds count, the R440’s new power management system allows the unit to be plugged in and on while charging batteries, allowing the instrument to be ready to go at a moment’s notice.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS WHEN YOU NEED IT

When threat detection occurs, getting results communicated as quickly as possible is critical. The new R440 makes it easier than ever before, no matter the method.

  • Remote viewing operation, GPS, and reach-back over Bluetooth/WiFi via available app (iOS / Android) or over USB via intuitive Web Interface.

  • Universal API and ANSI N42.42 data format enables reach-back with user deployed networks such as Mobile Field Kit, ATAC, Sigma Edge, Safe Environment Gateway, and others.
