READ THIS FIRST
Thank you for purchasing this Polimaster®product. Before
operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly and retain
it for future reference.
Radiation Detector PM1904 POLISMART®II is designed to
continuously monitor and measure ionizing radiation from gamma
emitting radiation sources and provide a visual alarm whenever
the preset thresholds are exceeded. Users do not need to be
experts in health physics to operate this instrument; however,
understanding of basic principles of ionizing radiation is desirable
for proper operation.
“Made for iPod®”, “Made for iPhone®”, and “Made for iPad®” mean
that an electronic accessory has been designed to be connected
specically to iPod®, iPhone, or iPad, respectively, and has been
certiedbythedevelopertomeetApple®performance standards.
Apple®is not responsible for the operation of this device or its
compliance with safety and regulatory standards. Please note that
the use of this accessory with iPod®, iPhone® or iPad®may affect
wireless performance.

PRECAUTIONS
•Keep your PM1904 charged at all times for proper exposure
measurement.
•Charge the instrument for at least 4 hours before the initial use.
•Please observe all local regulations and safety procedures when
working with sources of ionizing radiation.
WARNING
The Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage or costs
caused by improper understanding of the device operation(s) or
reading(s). The User bears all the risks in interpreting the device
output and/or making decisions based on the device operation(s)
or reading(s). Please consult local laws, regulations and standards

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Radiation Detector PM1904 POLISMART®II belongs to
Polimaster® new family of highly sensitive, small and efcient
gamma detection devices. When ON, the device continuously
measures the ambient Dose Equivalent Rate (DER) and the
ambient Dose Equivalent (DE) of gamma radiation and compares
those measurements to the preset thresholds. In case thresholds
are exceeded PM1904alertstheuserwithashinglightsignals
indicating that radiation source is nearby or critical dose has been
accumulated.
The operation history is stored in the instrument’s non-volatile
memory and may be downloaded to an iPhone®through its
connector. PM1904 can also exchange data with the iPhone®in
real-time, thus transferring actual DER and DE readings to the
iPhone®.
The instrument may be used both indoors and outdoors by various
users who need to track environmental gamma radiation and
personal exposure.

Instrument Design and Control

10
The instrument requires no control buttons and operates fully
autonomously when the battery is charged. It automatically
records all measurements in non-volatile memory at preset
intervals. There is one LED display that can indicate the following:
•Green light ashing every second – PM1904 is connected
to a PC or charger USB port, battery is charging;
•• Green light indicates the full charged battery;
••• Green light ashing every 10 seconds – the instrument is
operating normally and background radiation is below the
preset thresholds;
•Red light – indicates that DER or DE thresholds have been
exceeded. A single red ash every second means the DER
thresholdhasbeenexceeded;adoubleredasheverysecond
means the DE threshold has been exceeded;
•Orange light ashing every 5 seconds – partial battery
discharge. Please connect PM1904 to a USB port to charge
the battery.
