The MiniSentry 2 portal monitor is a portable system designed for the screening of pedestrians or vehicles for gamma radiation. Its ease of use and minimal setup requirements make it ideal for emergency response scenarios and security applications, where quick deployment and immediate operation are critical.
This monitor features intuitive clean/contaminated status indicators through an integrated LCD screen, LEDs, loudspeaker, and an optional LED light tower for visual cues. It operates with modern firmware that is simple to use but also includes a comprehensive, password-protected expert settings menu for advanced users. The system supports three measurement modes: walk-through, enter-wait, and count-rate, providing flexibility for various application needs.
Measurement data can be easily exported in *Microsoft Excel-readable .csv files for detailed analysis, ensuring that all data is accessible for reporting or further review. The MiniSentry 2 automatically subtracts background radiation and monitors it continuously, provided no person or vehicle occupies the portal.
To ensure consistent operation, the monitor conducts self-diagnostics both on startup and throughout operation. It is designed to meet key standards, including the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA-REP-21) and the IEC 62244 standard, ensuring it adheres to strict safety and performance guidelines. This makes the MiniSentry 2 a robust and reliable tool for emergency and security radiation detection.
