Features
The Model 1060AM is a versatile smart radiation detector designed for reliable, continuous area monitoring applications. The unit collects, interprets, analyzes, and communicates radiation measurement data. It is available in low, medium, and high range versions employing internal Geiger-Mueller (GM) detectors. The MHV version accommodates a wide variety of external GM probes. Circuitry that detects pulse pileup conditions in a high radiation field is employed to prevent erroneous readings.
The Model 1060AM is suitable for stand-alone operation or in a network environment employing multiple channels, communicating via an RS-485 interface to a main computer system. WIN1060 PC applications program provides the ability to display multiple channels, to maintain both alarm and measurement history, and to access to system configuration options. An optional remote display, consisting of a visual alarm indicator and a logarithmic meter corresponding to the detector range, is available.
Applications
The Model 1060AM is available in multiple versions supporting a wide range of monitoring applications found in medical facilities and facilities with radioisotope sources. In addition, the Model 1060AM provides an EMI shielded watertight National Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (NEMA®) enclosure that is CE marked. The Model 1060AM provides two RS-485 connectors to simplify connections between multiple units. A remote display with alarm lamp is available for each version.
