The PXRD is specifically engineered to detect and measure pulsed X-rays emitted by portable X-ray generators such as Golden Engineering’s XR150, XR200, and XRS3, as well as other compatible models.
Robust. Reliable. Ready for the field.
Compact and handheld, the PXRD is designed for durability and performance in the toughest environments. Its rugged construction ensures reliable operation in all weather conditions and demanding field applications.
Key Capability – Pulse detection where others fail
Unlike conventional detectors, the PXRD can measure X-ray radiation from pulsed sources with a minimum pulse width of 25 ns. This makes it uniquely suited to applications where pulsed X-ray sources are in use.
Recommended Use Cases
The PXRD should be deployed whenever pulsed X-ray sources are in operation, including (but not limited to):
- Security screening.
- Non-destructive testing (NDT).
- Field-based inspection and diagnostics.
- Emergency response and EOD operations.
- Extended Dynamic Range
Dual detectors allow close up in beam measurements as close as 1.5 m from generator and low dose measurements for cordon perimeter measuring. - Handheld or Tripod Mountable
The compact device can be easily used single handedly or mounted on a tripod for remote measuring. - Robust design
Can operate in temperatures between 0°C to 40°C and features a chemically resistant keypad, suited for harsh environments and ease of cleaning. - Configurable Alarms
The accumulated dose alarm can be customised to activate any combination of three alarm types: audible, visual, and haptic. - Graphical Digital Display
Featuring an intuitive user interface designed to enable limited training. - Lightweight and portable
Slimline and compact, with a mass of only 420 g. - IP54 Rating
Protected against water and dust ingress. - Extended battery life
Up to 8 hours continuous operation. - Rechargeable LiPO Battery
Supports 15W fast charging via USB-C, allowing a charge from 20% to 80% in as little as 37 minutes. - Real-Time Data Logging
The device records accumulated dose data in real time and allows you to export it to a PC in CSV file format.
