We present a first-quantized treatment of the back reaction on an accelerated particle detector. The accelerated detector is described as a first quantized, charged, pointlike particle in a constant field with internal energy levels. A quantum version of canonically conjugate future and past Rindler horizon operators is introduced to facilitate the calculation. The evaluated transition amplitude for detection agrees with previously obtained results.
