Features of the AN/VDR-2 include:
■ Liquid crystal display (LCD) shows three digits, decimal point, and unit of measure for
dose rate or accumulated dose; also indicates low batteries and faults.
■ Can be vehicle mounted with vehicle power activating alarms and intercoms; computes
and displays dose rates external to the vehicle.
■ Audible or visual alarm independently preset to dose rate and accumulated dose.
g. AN/PDR-75 RADIAC Set and DT-236/PDR-75 RADIAC Detector.
There are two new RADIAC sets which have recently been fielded. The AN/PDR-75 RADIAC Set
contains the RADIAC Computer Indicator CP-696/PDR-75 (Reader), which is used to measure the
(Wrist Dosimeter). The wrist dosimeter is worn by personnel, who may be exposed to radiation from
tactical nuclear weapons. The DT-236/PDR-75 RADIAC Detector is used with, but is not considered
part of, the AN/PDR-75 RADIAC Set.
The characteristics of the CP-696/PDR-75 Reader are:
■ It allows radiation monitoring of individual personnel.
■ It provides large scale monitoring for statistical purposes.
■ It gives virtually instantaneous exposure readings.
■ It provides accurate readings (digital) for extended periods of time after exposure.
■ It may be battery operated.
■ It is portable, durable, and lightweight.
The characteristics of the DT-236/PDR-75 Dosimeter are:
■ It allows radiation monitoring of individual personnel.
■ It provides accurate readings for extended periods of time after exposure.
■ It is maintenance free and lightweight.
