Through patented innovations and advanced microelectronics, Technical Associates offers a full-featured electronic dosimeter in a stand-alone, pager-sized for personal use. The PD-10i continues the heritage of accuracy and reliability found in Technical Associates Dosimetry Products. Pushbuttons on the front allow the user to adjust alarm set-points and chirp increments. In addition, numerous dosimeter functions can be enabled or disabled to suit your personal needs. This feature eliminates the need for a computer/reader interface when versatility and low system cost are a primary concern. The Liquid Crystal Display on the dosimeter steps through Total Dose, Dose Rate, Stay-Time and Set-Point Confirmation displays. The PD-10i is operational as a stand alone Dosimeter or it can be used with other Technical Associates Dosimetry Products.
