Pulsed-Field Personal Dosimeter

Real-time dose control for frontline teams

The PM1610B personal dosimeter gives Australian radiation workers live Hp(10) and dose-rate in harsh, real-world conditions – from theatres and cath labs to industrial radiography sites and emergency response.

Choose USB-only PM1610B or RF-enabled PM1610B-01 and plug into modular USB/RF readers, rack chargers, and central dose servers. The included PC companion app closes the loop from field exposure to centralised dose records, reporting, and audit-ready compliance workflows.

Why Teams Choose PM1610B?

• Trusted dose visibility: Measures Hp(10) from 0.05 µSv to 20 Sv with ±20% accuracy, so staff actually see what they’re getting.
• Pulsed X-ray ready: Captures pulses down to 1 ms, ideal for interventional, fluoroscopy, and portable X-ray environments.
• Ruggedised for field work: IP65, 1.5 m drop-tested, and −20 to +50 °C operation keeps it working where PPE and rain are standard.
• Simple to wear, simple to read: 90 g body, clear backlit LCD, big buttons for gloved use, with audible, visual, and vibration alarms.
• System-friendly workflow: USB and optional ISO 15693 RF plus companion software for automatic reads, central dose database, and annual reporting.

What’s in the Kit?

PM1610B personal dosimeter, belt/pocket clip, AAA alkaline battery, USB cable, PC companion software (download or media), quick start guide, factory calibration/test certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What radiation does the PM1610B measure?

It measures personal dose equivalent Hp(10) from continuous and pulsed X-ray and gamma fields between 20 keV and 10 MeV, using a calibrated GM detector.

How rugged is the unit for field deployment?

The dosimeter is IP65 rated, drop-tested to 1.5 m, operates from −20 to +50 °C, and tolerates high humidity and vibration, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial work.

Does it support automated reading and central software?

Yes. All models connect via USB to Polimaster’s PC companion software; the PM1610B-01 adds ISO 15693 RF for contactless reading in automated personal dosimetry systems.

Is there an on-device indication when dose limits are reached?

Yes. Two independent thresholds for dose and dose-rate trigger loud audible tones, a flashing display, and vibration, plus “OVERLOAD” indication if ranges are exceeded.

What’s actually included when I order?

A standard kit includes the PM1610B dosimeter, belt clip, AAA battery, USB cable, software access, quick start documentation, and a factory calibration/test certificate (local inclusions may vary).
