New from FLIR Systems, Inc is the identiFINDER R200. That’s the latest in the company’s identiFINDER R-Series handheld radiation detection and identification tools. For use by law enforcers and first responders, the wearable identiFINDER R200 delivers American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N42.48 compliant identification, for responders to perform front-line detection and response during a radiological event.
At less than one pound, the identiFINDER R200 is compliant with the ANSI N42.32 Personal Radiation Detector (PRD) standard. A user can wear the product on a belt. It provides continuous radiation monitoring during routine traffic stops, high visibility events, and in mass transit or critical infrastructure entry control points, without requiring user interaction.
The product combines FLIR’s new Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) technology with a Cesium Iodide (CsI) detector to provide high-resolution identification so front-line officers can determine whether a gamma radiation source is a true threat or benign source from medical patients, normal occurring radiation, or industrial use. The product’s solid state detector enables first responders to detect and identify a radiological threat, the product company says.
The identiFINDER R-series of products share a common user interface. With tens of thousands of identiFINDER units deployed globally, the familiar interface design of the identiFINDER R200 allows for integration with operational protocols while also reducing officer training time and costs, the manufacturer adds. Using the latest Bluetooth and web servers, a OneTouch Reachback feature provides situational awareness and enables instant notifications to help improve communications with command and control, the product makers add.
Dennis Barket, Junior, Vice President and General Manager of FLIR Detection, said: “The resolution offered by identiFINDER R200 allows first responders to react quickly to identified threats. The low price point of this tool will allow more agencies to deploy it, empowering a new level of protection to safeguard the communities they represent.”
FLIR will show the identiFINDER R200 for the first time in Europe at MiliPol, Paris, November 17 to 20; Hall 5, Stand 5D 238. The identiFINDER R200 will be available globally in early 2016, visit: http://www.flir.com/r200.
