RADEye PRD4

The Thermo Scientific RadEye PRD4 Personal Radiation Detector provides highly sensitive radiation detection capability with little to no nuisance alarms.

It enable accurate dose rate measurements across the broader gamma spectrum, providing a greater assurance of personal safety. The neutron indication capability of the RadEye PRD provides an additional layer of detection critical to determining the level of radiation threat.


The PRD4

RADEye PRD4

Personal Radiation Detector

Achieve highly sensitive radiation detection with few nuisance alarms with Thermo Scientific RadEye PRD4 and PRD-ER4 Personal Radiation Detectors. RadEye PRD4 and PRD-ER4 save users valuable time adjudicating alarms while increasing scanning throughput. Using Natural Background Rejection (NBR) Technology, the RadEye PRD4 and PRD-ER4 ignore fluctuations in naturally occurring radiation (NORM) while analyzing the energy imbalance of artificial radiation. Additionally, these radiation detectors identify the discovered material in a manner configurable for your operation or user skills.

The RadEye PRD4 Personal Radiation Detector enables accurate dose rate measurements across the broader gamma spectrum, providing a greater assurance of personal safety. The neutron indication capability of the RadEye PRD4 provides an additional layer of detection critical to determining the level of radiation threat.

  • No retraining or relearning for infrequent users

  • Quickly guides you through next steps after an alarm

  • Simple 4 button design

  • Comprehensive data neatly organized and presented on screen

  • Can be worn in holster or standard service belt

Neutron alert

The neutron capability of the RadEye PRD4 personal radiation detector provides an additional layer of detection capability that is critical in determining the level of the radiation threat or problem.

Personalized for each user

Configure the RadEye PRD4 personal radiation detector as a simple 0 to 9 radiation level gauge Or turn on dose rate readings, simplified gamma Natural and Artificial classification, or basic count rate mode.

Stay Focused

With advanced NBR, agencies have seen nuisance alarms due to granite, natural stone and subway tiles reduced by 80% after deploying the RadEye PRD4 without increasing alarm thresholds or sacrificing sensitivity.

In-Field Calibration

The ability to calibrate the units in the field saves on down time and extra inventory to support costly turn-in/replacement resources.

With NBR
Higher threshold for alarm
No false alarms
Only alerts to artificial sources
Operator knows to act
