Pylon Detectors Overview


Pylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division offers several devices to detect radiation including radon and thoron.

Click the detector headings obtain a brochure with specifications and more information including applications for the desired detector.

Adobe (tm) PDF file CPRD / CPC / 200P Passive Cells

Passive CellsPylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division passive cells are Lucas type scintillation cells. Passive cells are primarily used for area monitoring in continuous mode. The atmosphere that contains radon and / or thoron gas passively diffuses into the cell.

Pylon also offers non standard versions of these cells including variants that are designed to detect high radon and thoron activity levels. (e.g., 20,000,000 pCi.)





Adobe (tm) PDF file 110A / 300A / 200A Active Cells

Active CellsPylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division active cells are Lucas type scintillation cells. Active cells are used for grab sampling, continuous monitoring, sniffing, etc. The atmosphere or sample that contains radon and / or thoron gas is actively placed into the cell.

Pylon also offers non standard versions of these cells including variants that are designed to detect high radon and thoron activity levels. (e.g., 20,000,000 pCi.)






Adobe (tm) PDF file TEL Environmental Level Detector

Tel Environmental Level DetectorPylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division offers the model TEL - Trace Environmental Level detector that detects trace levels of radon. This detector is normally used for monitoring outdoor or very low level environments. It may be used for grab sampling or continuous monitoring.

This detector is designed for use with the Pylon model AB-5 series of monitors and requires an external photomultiplier tube (Ext PMT) [Both sold separately] to complete the minimum required system.


Adobe (tm) PDF file WT-A / WT-B / WT-AB Wipe Test Adapter Detectors

Wipe Test Adapter
Pylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division offers a series of wipe test adapter detectors. These detectors allow the User to measure alpha and / or beta radiation from wipes or swipes with the Pylon model AB-5 series of monitors [Sold separately].






Adobe (tm) PDF file SA / SB / SAB Surface Detectors

Surface DetectorPylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division offers a series of surface detectors. These detectors allow the User to measure alpha and / or beta radiation over a surface to find "hot spots" with the Pylon model AB-5 series of monitors.

These detectors are designed for use with the Pylon model AB-5 series of monitors and requires an external photomultiplier tube (Ext PMT) [Both sold separately] to complete the minimum required system.



Adobe (tm) PDF file AEP-47 / BEP-47 Working Level Detectors

Working Level Detectors
Pylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division offers 2 working level detectors that allow the User to measure alpha or beta radiation using the Pylon model AB-5 series of monitors [Sold separately]. The working level (WL) can be calculated from the results.







Adobe (tm) PDF file 503 Filter Detectors

503 Filter Detector
Pylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division offers the model 503 detector. This detector allows the User to measure alpha radiation on filters with the Pylon model AB-5 series of monitors [Sold separately].







Adobe (tm) PDF file GB Gamma / Beta Detector

GB Gamma-Beta Detector
Pylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division offers the model GB - Gamma / Beta Probe that detects gamma and beta radiation. It may be used for comparative measurements or continuous monitoring.

This detector is designed for use with the Pylon model AB-5 series of monitors and requires an external photomultiplier tube (Ext PMT) [Both sold separately] to complete the minimum required system.
