RadTarge II uses a high-performance YSO scintillation crystal combined with a state-of-the-art silicon
photomultiplier (SiPM) and multi-voltage threshold (MVT) algorithm to detect a wide range of
radiation doses.
RadTarge II protects users and notifies them of their environmental conditions instantly and
accurately. Proportional, real-time detection and measurement provide meaningful readouts that
focus on the awareness and safety of the user during critical times. The fast response and wide dose
rate range maximize the safety of your team. Audible, visual, and vibrating alarms alert the wearer of
alarm conditions. Intuitive navigation allows users to adjust settings in the field.
This pager-like, direct-reading EPD accurately detects and measures radiation exposure for workers
and responders in potentially hazardous environments. Its backlit LCD provides a clear indication of
the wearer’s equivalent dose rate and accumulated dose.
RadTarge II runs for 200 hours of continuous use on a full charge. Additional capabilities, including
data logging and personnel tracking, are available with the installation of RadSuite-Dose | Personal
Dose Management Software.

2.2 Interfaces
2.2.1 Dose Rate Interface
The dose rate interface is the main interface after turning on the device; it displays the dose
equivalent rate.
* Accurate to 0.001 mrem/h when the reading is below 100 mrem/h, else to 0.01 mrem/h. Automatically displays
appropriate unit according to radiation intensity.
10
To charge the battery, connect RadTarge II to a powered USB port or charger using the MicroUSB
cable. The charging light on the bottom indicates charging status.
2.5 Software
RadTarge II and RadPavise are used in conjunction with RadSuite-Dose to enable features such as
dose management; data logging and export; and user and device management.
2.5.1 Download
RadSuite-Dose is available for Mac and Windows and can be downloaded online.
