RDS AN/PDR-83-SIM Alpha Beta Probe Simulator

Enhance Your Radiation Threat Detection Without Compromising Safety

LUDLUM MEASUREMENTS INC.

Alpha Beta Probe Simulator

The Ludlum Measurements Inc. Alpha Beta radiation simulator probe has been designed to work with Argon's simulation RDS AN/PDR-83-SIM base unit.

The simulation Alpha Beta Probe can be connected directly to the Simulation RDS AN/PDR-83-SIM base unit by flexible cable, showing the probes reading on the base unit.

Advanced Radiation Training 

You can "hot connect" and disconnect the simulation Alpha Beta Probe - no need to turn the simulation RDS AN/PDR-83-SIM base unit off, and most impressively the base unit display screen splits just like the real instrument.

The Simulation Alpha Beta Probe responds to Argon's discreet simulation sources, allowing for highly realistic training in surface contamination, while the easy to use instructor remote permits simulation of partial or full decontamination.

Key features include:
  • Alpha and Beta contamination simulation
  • Uses small and discreet credit card sized tags. 
  • Responds to Alpha and Beta Simulation check source.
  • Simulates RDS 'tick' and RadHealth functions. 
  • Simulate correct decontamination procedure using the instructor controller. 
  • No regular calibration.
  • No preventative maintenance.
  • PlumeSIM compatible.
  • Compatible with other Argon radiological simulators.

RFID sources allow for realistic contamination simulation

The source set can simulate:

  • Alpha High
  • Alpha Low 
  • Beta High
  • Beta Low
  • Alpha/ Beta High
  • Alpha/ Beta Low

Small and discreet, these sources can be easily concealed within clothing and objects, or under surfaces to support a variety contamination training scenarios.

PlumeSIM compatible

The simulation RDS Alpha Beta Probe is compatible with PlumeSIM, Argon’s proven Live Field and Tabletop CBRN exercise system. In use by many of the world’s leading training facilities, PlumeSIM enables real time instrumented wide area tactical field and nuclear / HazMat / Chemical Warfare emergency response exercises to be conducted using single or multiple simulation device types that respond in the real time to simulated hazards. 

Other Radiation Simulators Available

Argon can offer a full range of compatible simulators. Please contact us for your specific requirements.
