The FIDLER Probe detects and distinguishes between low-energy X-rays and gammas. It simultaneously records data over four separate energy windows, by use of a multichannel discriminator. Analysis of this information can enable the detection of materials commonly used in weapons of mass destruction. The FIDLER Probe monitors all four of the following energy windows simultaneously. The Base Unit Home screen has the ability to display one or two energy channels at a time.

  • Energy Window 1: 13 – 18 keV
  • Energy Window 2: 59 – 60 keV
  • Energy Window 3: 143 – 220 keV
  • Energy Window 4: 13 – 220 keV

The Beta-Photon Probe is part of the RDS probe family and is used with the Base Unit for radiological detection operations. It is designed to be held in the operator’s hand or attached to the Telescoping Probe Handle. The end cap is removable for increased sensitivity to beta radiation and low-energy x-rays. The Beta-Photon uses a common probe cable to attach to the Base Unit where data is stored. Crosshairs on the outside of the probe housing show the center lines of the detectors. The probe has two different detectors for low to high-range dose and dose rate measurements.
