DMC-3000 Personal Electronic Dosimeter.

The DMC 3000 Personal Electronic Dosimeter has a rugged, high impact polycarbonate-ABS case, is small, lightweight, and is cost effective personal radiation monitoring device.  They are designed to be worn on the body and keep a live record of both dose and dose rate.  The DMC 3000 Personal Electronic Dosimeter is simple to use with 2 push buttons for an easy customized data and parameters display.  The DMC 3000 has a LDC display with high-quality white backlighting.

The DMC 3000 covers a wide range of X-Ray and Gamma radiation detection field from 15keV to 7Mev and linear response to dose rate fields from natural background up to more than 10 Sv/h.  The pass-by data exchange feature gives unequal operational flexibility.  In-motion reading allows dose management by sub-zone as well as real-time location tracking of personnel.
