Digital Smart Detector area Monitor

harpell — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:08:51 +0000

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.

Features

Self contained, reliable, continuous area monitors
Wide range of applications in NEMA 4 Enclosure
RS-485 interface for multi-drop applications
Optional WIN 1060 Windows® Applications Software monitors up to 30 channels
Custom configurations available
16-bit embedded controller

PRIMaLERT 35 area Radiation Monitor

harpell — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:08:51 +0000

Six range indicators (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 mR/hr) clearly display an increase or decrease in radiation levels. The alarm can be set at any of the six levels by a front panel, screwdriver-adjustable control. Both the visible and audible alarms, or just the visible alarm, can also be set from this panel. The light for each level goes on when the radiation intensity reaches that level, and goes out when the rate drops below the level. This permits instant radiation-level recognition not readily distinguishable on meter-type instruments.

When the preset level is exceeded, personnel are alerted by bright flashing red lights (visible over a 180° field) and a loud intermittent audio signal. The alarms stop automatically when the radiation level falls below the preset value. A front-panel switch permits the selection of both the visible and audible alarms or just the visible alarm.

Fail-safe operation is assured by a light which continuously indicates background radiation and provides visual proof that the unit is functioning. The monitor will not jam or show false readings in high radiation fields. The Primalert 35 contains an energy-compensated GM detector, and features a convenient, automatic alarm reset. A mounting bracket and a 110 volt AC adapter/power converter are also included. The optional Primalarm Remote Alarm provides the same audible and visible signals as the Primalert 35, up to 100 feet from the monitor.

Features

Provides continuous visual indication of radiation levels and produces audible and/or visual alarms at any of six presettable radiation levels
Assures reliable, continuous monitoring wherever radioactive materials are present
Displays the radiation level in bright color-coded lights
Emits audible and/or visible signals whenever the gamma radiation exceeds a user-preset alarm level
Optional Primalarm Remote Alarm, which functions up to 100 feet from monitor
