REMOTE RADIATION MONITORING
Remote Radiation Monitoring - RDM-10 Remote Dose Monitor
RDM-10 Remote Dose Monitor
The AIT RDM-10 is a radiation monitor designed for remote dose-rate measurement in nuclear and industrial inspection environments. Unlike conventional handheld radiation monitors that are typically carried to the measurement point, the RDM-10 can be positioned remotely using a compatible cable-mounted or camera-assisted inspection configuration.
This remote deployment approach makes the RDM-10 particularly suited to inspection workflows where radiation measurements are needed at locations separated from the operator.

REMOTE MONITORING BENEFITS
Add Radiation Data to Remote Inspection
Use Existing Infrastructure
Integrate the sensor with compatible AIT PTZ controller and cable equipment instead of creating a separate deployment platform.
Inspect With Context
Combine radiation information with camera-assisted visual inspection when the selected configuration includes a compatible camera head.
Monitor Probe Angle
Use integrated inclination measurement to understand sensor orientation during remote positioning and monitoring work.
Deploy Without Camera
Run the RDM-10 as a stand-alone sensor when the task requires measurement data without visual inspection.
Measure From a Distance
Unlike handheld radiation meters that require an operator to carry the instrument, the RDM-10 is designed for remote positioning in nuclear and industrial inspection areas where personnel access may be limited.
Technical details
Everything You Need Before You Decide
Dose-Rate and Inclination Data From the Inspection Area
The RDM-10 is a compact remote radiation dose-rate monitor with integrated inclination measurement. It connects through a compatible AIT PTZ controller and cable set, allowing measurement information to be viewed at the controller while the probe is deployed in an industrial or nuclear inspection area.
The unit can operate as a stand-alone cable-mounted sensor or be installed in line with a compatible camera. This allows inspection teams to collect radiation information alone or combine it with a remote visual inspection workflow.
Stand-Alone Monitoring
Deploy the RDM-10 at the cable end when remote dose-rate and inclination information is required without an attached camera.
Camera-Assisted Monitoring
Install the RDM-10 in line with a verified compatible camera when measurement data and visual inspection are needed together.
Configuration Checklist
Choose the Setup That Fits the Inspection
- Select stand-alone or camera-assisted deployment.
- Choose camera-mounted or cable-mounted positioning.
- Confirm the PTZ controller and cable-set compatibility.
- Check that the measurement range fits the task.
- Verify the access opening against the 48 mm probe diameter.
- Confirm the required cable length and connector arrangement.
Controller-Based Readout
Dose-rate and inclination information is displayed through the compatible PTZ controller, keeping measurement feedback at the operator's location.
Flexible Deployment
A camera is not required. The RDM-10 can operate independently or with a compatible camera head using supported AIT PTZ cable infrastructure.

Restricted Access Points
The compact 48 mm sensor diameter helps teams assess whether the monitor can pass through the available opening.
Remote Area Surveys
Collect remote dose-rate information from areas where direct operator access is limited or undesirable.
Nuclear Inspection Tasks
Add dose-rate and inclination information to a compatible remote nuclear inspection workflow.
Process Monitoring
Position the RDM-10 remotely for radiation awareness during industrial monitoring activities.
Camera-Assisted Surveys
Combine radiation measurements with visual inspection using a verified compatible camera setup.
Stand-Alone Monitoring
Deploy the sensor without a camera when measurement information is the primary requirement.
Why the AIT RDM-10 Beats Handheld Monitoring
Traditional handheld radiation monitors require the instrument to be carried to the measurement location. The AIT RDM-10 takes a different approach by integrating radiation monitoring into a remote inspection workflow.
Move the measurement point away from the operator
The RDM-10 is designed around remote positioning rather than requiring the instrument to remain in the operator's hand during measurement.
Remote Inspection vs. a Conventional Handheld Approach
| Consideration | AIT RDM-10 | Conventional Handheld Meter |
|---|---|---|
| Operating approach | Designed for remote sensor deployment | Typically designed to be carried and operated as a handheld instrument. |
| Measurement location | The sensor can be positioned at the inspection point while measurement information is viewed through the compatible system. | The instrument is generally brought by the operator to the measurement location. |
| Inspection workflow | Built around remote inspection equipment | Primarily functions as an independent personnel-carried measuring instrument. |
| Camera relationship | Can support a compatible camera-assisted inspection configuration when visual context is required. | A handheld meter typically operates separately from the inspection camera workflow. |
| Camera-free use | Stand-alone remote operation supported | Handheld operation does not provide the same remote deployment arrangement. |
| Application focus | Developed for industrial and nuclear inspection environments where remote positioning can be valuable. | Well suited to general personnel-carried radiation measurement and spot-check applications. |
The RDM-10 Difference
Separate Operator and Sensor Position
Place the sensing point where the measurement is needed while using a remote inspection configuration instead of relying on personnel-carried measurement at that location.
Part of the Inspection Workflow
The RDM-10 is designed to work within a compatible remote inspection setup rather than functioning only as a separate handheld instrument.
Configure Around the Inspection
Use the RDM-10 in a stand-alone remote arrangement or as part of a verified camera-assisted configuration based on the inspection task.
Not sure which configuration fits your application?
AIT can review your deployment method, controller and cable setup, and camera requirements before you request a final configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the RDM-10 measure?
The RDM-10 measures radiation dose rate and includes inclination measurement. Its dose-rate range is 10 µSv/h to 100 mSv/h, equivalent to 1 mrem/h to 10 rem/h, with accuracy of ±15%.
Does the RDM-10 require a camera?
No. It can operate as a stand-alone sensor at the cable end. It can also be used in line with a compatible camera when the inspection requires both remote radiation information and visual observation.
Where are the measurements displayed?
The RDM-10 sends its measurement information through the compatible system so the dose-rate and inclination readings can be displayed on the connected AIT PTZ controller.
How can the RDM-10 be mounted?
The source identifies two mounting arrangements: camera-mounted and cable-mounted. The correct arrangement depends on whether the inspection requires a camera, the available access path, and the verified controller and cable configuration.
Is the RDM-10 compatible with my PTZ camera system?
The RDM-10 requires a compatible AIT PTZ controller and cable set and works with multiple camera heads. Compatibility should be verified by model because the supplied source does not provide a complete controller and camera matrix.
What happens when radiation exceeds the measurement range?
The specification sheet states that the controller provides an over-range indication when the measurement range is exceeded. It does not define an alarm level, alarm output, or automatic response.
What information should I send with my quote request?
Provide the camera model, controller model, cable length, connector photos, intended mounting method, access opening, expected dose-rate range, and whether you need stand-alone or camera-assisted deployment.
