FLIR Detection 1. Welcome
The setup for sending data to a remote server (reachback) is explained in chapter 9, p. 219
Chapter 11, p. 229 details the power supply for the FLIR identiFINDER R300.
The appendix comprises speciication data (Appendix A.1, p. 237), maintenance information (Ap-
pendix B, p. 255), information about the nuclides the FLIR identiFINDER R300 can identify (Ap-
pendix C, p. 259), a glossary of terms and abbreviations (Appendix D, p. 267) and, inally, an index
(p. 291)
The FLIR identiFINDER R300 is available in several variants (see A.1, p. 237 for detailed spec-
iications). All variants share almost identical operating procedures and are covered in this
manual. The few places where a feature of a certain variant differs from the main stream are
marked accordingly in the text.
1.4 The FLIR identiFINDER R300
The FLIR identiFINDER R300 instrument, engineered and manufactured by FLIR Detection is a dig-
ital, self-contained battery-powered instrument that provides the power of advanced spectroscopy
in your palm. It is part of the FLIR Detection family of instruments designed to provide critical ca-
pabilities required in a wide range of mission circumstances. Such capabilities include:
• Search for sources of gamma radiation or scan areas contaminated with gamma radionuclides
• Automatic identiication of radionuclides by analysis of gamma ray spectra
• Gamma dose and dose rate measurements
• Neutron detection with count rate and accumulated counts (Available only for variants
equipped with a neutron detector.)
• Semi-conductor detector for improved resolution and ruggedness
The FLIR identiFINDER R300 combines the capabilities of a Personal Radiation Detector (PRD) with
the radionuclide identiication capabilities of a Radio-Isotope Identiication Detector (RIID) into
one conveniently small package. The FLIR identiFINDER R300 utilizes the same reliable advanced
technology that is deployed in the well-known identiFINDER 2 family of instruments. We offer a
family of handheld products to address the various applications operators will encounter while
ensuring operators will be presented with the same screens, information, and operation between
all our devices.
