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. A bold, easy-to-read interface, an IP67-rated enclosure and hot swappable batteries keep it working through extended operations.
Teledyne FLIR built the R440 for routine survey and secondary screening. Operator training is under 10 minutes, and every step below uses the same handheld, from the first dose-rate reading to sending the result off the scene.
Power on and work the scene. Dose rate is measured from 10nSv/h to 10mSv/h with every detector option, and a high dose rate range continues to 500mSv/h.
The bold, easy-to-read interface with 360° EasyFinder™ mode expedites decision-making to keep personnel and the community safe.
Switch to ID mode. Sourceless stabilization improves data collection, reducing false positives.
Remote viewing operation, GPS, and reach-back over Bluetooth/WiFi via available app (iOS/Android) or over USB via intuitive Web Interface.
In US units: ID mode 1µrem/h - 25mrem/h, dose rate range 1µrem/h - 1rem/h, high dose rate range 1rem/h - 50rem/h. Bars drawn to a logarithmic scale for comparison.
The R440 is available with NaI, NaIL, CLLBC and LaBr detector options. They trade gamma sensitivity against resolution and differ in how they handle neutrons. Every option covers 10 keV to 10 MeV with a 1024-channel gamma spectrum.

Hot swappable batteries facilitate continuous operation on extended missions. An internal battery carries the instrument while the main pack is out, so the unit stays in operation with no data loss.
Supplied: 2x rechargeable Li-Ion smartpacks and 1x 4x AA pack. Internal battery allows > 10 mins operation with battery pack removed to allow ‘hot swapping’ of main battery packs.
Batteries charge outside the instrument while the instrument is on standby, for instant readiness in the response vehicle.
The power management system lets the unit be plugged in and on while charging batteries, ready to go at a moment's notice.
Recharge time ≤4h when using AC; recharge >4h when using USB. Input 100-240V AC (wall adapter and USB cable supplied).
When threat detection occurs, getting results communicated as quickly as possible is critical. The R440 gives three routes out: wireless to a phone app, USB to a browser, and a standard data format that user-deployed networks can take in.
Universal API and ANSI N42.42 data format enables reach-back with user deployed networks such as:
Communication: USB 2.0, USB OTG; Bluetooth® Class BLE 4.0 and 2.1 with EDR ≤30m range, WiFi 802.11 g/n (can be disabled at manufacture).
Its light weight makes single-handed operation easy during extended operations, while the IP67-rated enclosure is built to survive.
Teledyne FLIR adds that “improved shock protection and a locking battery cap provides additional ruggedness.” The housing is aluminum.
