GENERAL   EQUIPMENT   INC.                    

Real Time Viewing System has been an integral part of the EOD Teams around the globe for quarter of century for detection and disposal of lEDs

Even today RTVS model MK IV, a X-Ray based technology is considered an essential tool of Rendering Safe Procedure Teams

With constant inputs from different users and EOD specialists, we have developed the latest in series RTVS MK V

 

It uses state of art continuous wave variable output innovative X-Ray technology that gives it a far superiority over any other equipment of its kind. It outperforms contemporary 150 kV cold cathodes pulsed

 

This is a very powerful and must tool for Bomb Detection and Disposal teams

MK-V is a fully digital X-ray system that combines an latest generation X-ray source with a hi-tech laptop extendable, image capture unit and an exceptional software

Not only it sets a new standard for image quality, it also provides EOD technicians, customs, police, the army and other law enforcement agents with all the features necessary to respond confidentially, efficiently, quickly and more safely to incidents of threats posed by the terrorist

 Image Capture unit

The RTVS MK V image capture unit is PC based and contains a web browser

This enables connection to any kind of laptop without additional software

The powerful device processes and transfers all images to a laptop at a very fast rate. Image quality is maximized by use of a fluoroscopic screen and camera with matched spectral output and response characteristics

For complete independence, the unit is powered by a Ni-Cad battery, which recharges in 1 hour.

X-ray generator

The CPI 201 is the most advanced portable security X-ray generator available in the market

Powered by a 36Vdc battery, its constant potential output produces a stable, penetrating and contrast-rich beam

The small focal spot makes up to 5 times magnification possible without loss of image sharpness

The kV and mA of the CP12O1 can be regulated, to give optimum right quality of X-rays and the correct dose

EOD personnel can select output level to suit each, individual suspect item

The four successive image captures at different settings for progressive penetration depth studies makes it easy to differentiate between organic and inorganic

The wide beam angle allows the generator to be placed very close (32 cm/i 2% in) to the image capture unit, thereby increasing the effective penetration capability of the system as a whole

Last but by no means least, the rotating handle doubles up as an accurate positioning device, enabling the EOD technician to pinpoint the X-ray beam on a precise spot of a potentially dangerous object

Laptop specification

The modular design concept of the RTVS MK V gives buyers a significant cost saving by using its own existing Lap Top

The image capture unit communicates data uses the universal web browser protocol (http), images can be viewed on any up-to-date laptop

The minimum requirements are:

>         Laptop with 14.1” screen (35.8cm)

>         100Mb Ethernet network card

  >          CD writer

  >          WindowsXP

  >          256k RAM

Software

The sophisticated and user-friendly software is located in the image capture unit

The image processing features like reverse black & white, pseudo 3D, pseudo color, zoom, contrast stretch, annotation tools, 4 successive images capture for time resolved studies are some of its unique features

The 4 successive image captures at different X-ray voltages for progressive depth penetration assists the operator to differentiate and identify the inside objects of the suspected threat article more easily

The multiple successive X-ray with variable voltages makes it very near to future development of multi-energy RTVS.

The Intranet communication system, allows the image capture unit to forward all images without any loss of quality to the laptop at an impressively fast rate

 

For this reason, the interface can be any web browser:

Mozilla Netscape Internet Explorer 6.0

The EOD field personnel through their own secured internet connection can send images and other information for onsite expert help and advise.

Carrying cases

2 very light, robust, easily carried, reinforced aluminum cases.

Fast battery charger

The fast battery charger charges one battery in one hour, optimizes the charge, protects the batteries and extends their lifetime.

Interconnectivity

Interconnectivity between laptop and image capture is through a 50 m /164 ft reel drum (faster set-up and greater ease of operation)

Option

Fully secured and encrypted wireless communication between the generator and image capture unit.
