Vehicle monitoring radiation detection systems

The RC2000 series of vehicle radiation detection systems have been designed to detect low Gamma Ray emissions in moderate density materials, such as compressed waste and processed scrap metal.

System operation is completely automated, providing specific alarm thresholds in real time during each scanning period. The RC2000 utilizes a user friendly graphical interface allowing the operator to easily move through the wide range of user options. Detailed alarm records are stored on the internal hard drive and can easily be retrieved. Remote access capability is available to provide technical support and electronic hardware adjustments.
