1 Tracerco PEDs
1.1 Overview
PEDs (personal electronic dosimeters) measure and record the dose and dose rate that the person wearing the PED
has been exposed. PEDs measure the radiation equivalent dose Hp(10), accumulated in X-ray and gamma rays
radiation, which is the equivalent dose at 10 mm below surface of the upper body. Therefore, PEDs must be worn
on the upper body.
DoseVision™ transfers dose and dose rate data from PEDs to a local computer. Data must be transferred periodically
to clear the memory on PEDs. DoseVision™ displays data graphically and sets alarm levels and other settings on
PEDs. For further information, see the DoseVision™ User Manual.
DoseVision™ Live is a smart phone app that can connect with up to seven PEDs simultaneously using Bluetooth.
Attention: The PED-IS is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (hazardous areas). Therefore, the
PED-IS must be operated in accordance with the information contained in the document MN1004 Essential Safety
Information.
1.2 PEDs
PEDs measure dose rates in the range 0 to 100 mSv/h (0 to10 rem/h). However, the extended range PEDs measure
dose rates in the range 0 to 1.0 Sv/h (0 to 100 rem/h). The Tracerco PEDs are as follows:
PED Blue and PED-ER (extended range)
The PED Blue is the standard PED and is a full-featured personal dosimeter. The PED-ER is an extended
range version of the PED Blue.
PED-IS
The PED-IS is an intrinsically safe version of the PED Blue.
PED+ and PED-ER+ (extended range)
The PED+ and PED-ER+ have additional features such as:
• Bluetooth connection for use with DoseVision™ Live.
• Built-in GPS monitoring for logging location information along with dose data.
• Wireless battery charging.
• Pop-up alarm messages which are customisable for individual user scenarios.
• Handheld mode that allows the PED+ and PED-ER+ to be used as a portable dose rate meter or
survey meter.
