    FLIR identiFINDER R425

    Next Generation Radionuclide Identification Device

    Teledyne FLIR calls the identiFINDER R425 the next generation of the most deployed radionuclide identification device (RID). It offers 360-degree coverage so you can locate and measure radioactive sources, built with Teledyne FLIR’s algorithms with advanced heuristics and hybrid identification techniques. Every model detects gamma; neutron detection is on the GN and LGN models only.

    “When other systems fail in extremely high gamma fields, the identiFINDER R425 provides pinpoint accuracy and remains fully operational.”

    Teledyne FLIR

    Teledyne FLIR says the R425 provides an ideal balance of size, weight, and performance for three kinds of work:

    • Surveying
    • Emergency response
    • Environmental monitoring
    From the R400 to the R425

    Same interface. Next generation.

    The R425 keeps the familiar identiFINDER user interface and 3-button control. Teledyne FLIR’s updates are in the detector, the dose capability and the screen cover.

    FAQ

    Questions we get on the phone

    Does every identiFINDER R425 detect neutrons?
    No. The neutron detector (ZnS, 27 x 58 x 5 mm moderated panels, 2 each, with a neutron sensitivity of ≥ 15 cps/nv) is fitted to the GN and LGN models only. The G and LG models detect gamma only.
    How do the NaI and LaBr models compare?
    The NaI(Tl) models (G and GN) list a Cs-137 gamma sensitivity of 1610 cps/uSv/h and a typical resolution of ≤ 7% FWHM at 662 keV (20°C). The LaBr3(Ce) models (LG and LGN) list 1000 cps/uSv/h and ≤ 4.5% FWHM at 662 keV (20°C), which Teledyne FLIR describes as a better energy resolution capability. Request a quote and tell us your application.
    We already use identiFINDER R400s. Will our operators need retraining?
    Teledyne FLIR says the R425 has the “same tried and trusted interface as the R400. Pick it up and go.” Training requirements are <10 mins for operator; 1 hour for advanced user. See the identiFINDER R400 page.
    How long does an identification take?
    From a few seconds to a few minutes. Nuclide identification is according to ANSI N42.34, with library categories SNM, IND, MED, NORM.
    How do results get off the instrument?
    Remote viewing, operation, and reachback over Bluetooth via available app (iOS/Android) or over USB-C via FLIR’s intuitive Web Interface. Data files are according to ANSI N42.42, stored on 8GB internal memory. Teledyne FLIR also lists a universal API for integration with user deployed networks such as Mobile Field Kit, ATAC, Sigma Edge and Safe Environment Gateway, and Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity via an optional adapter.
    How long does it run on a charge?
    Teledyne FLIR states: “Internal battery lasts up to 12 hours. Need more? Hot swappable batteries (rechargeable AND disposables) add 2 hours of use.” The external battery is 1 each 16650 Li-ion or 2 each CR123.
    Is the R425 a current product?
    Yes. The identiFINDER R425 is a current Teledyne FLIR product, and it is available from FarrWest on request. Request a quote and we will follow up.
    Are there export restrictions?
    Teledyne FLIR states: “This product is subject to United States export regulations and may require US authorization prior to export, reexport, or transfer to non-US persons or parties.”
