The PM-1703 series of Radiation Pagers are designed as highly sensitive measurement devices, conveniently worn on a belt to provide warning of rising levels of gamma or gamma and neutron radiation. These compact units are typically used to search for, detect and locate radioactive materials in a variety of situations. They also provide an excellent tool for extending stationary monitoring systems to expand the surveillance or to verify alarms of such
systems and locate the offending item(s).

Unlike traditional electronic pocket
dosimeters which are designed to track individual dose, the PM-1703 type pagers offer significantly enhanced sensitivity to provide early warning capability.

Configurations
The PM-1703 is available in one of two possible configurations: Model PM-1703M which is exclusively gamma sensitive and the Model PM1703GN for simultaneous gamma and neutron detection.

A photodiode CsI(TL) scintillation detector senses gamma emitting radioactive materials and provides a useful indication over the range of .01 to 50 μSv/h (10 to 5000 μR/h). The neutron detector is a Lil(Eu) scintillator sensitive to neutrons between thermal and 14 MeV.
