IODINE AIR MONITOR

GAS AND PARTICULATE

MODEL # FM-7-ABNI

FEATURES: REAL TIME ALARM LINE OPERATED PORTABLE INTEGRATED EXPOSURE STANDARD FM-5/7 MODULES CAN DRAW AIR FROM HOOD, DUCT, ETC. QUICK CHANGE FILTER CARTRIDGE REGULATED AIR FLOW RS232 COMPUTER INTERFACE OPTIONAL DATA LOGGER APPLICATION: The FM-7-ABNI Air Monitor assures safety against airborne radioactivity contamination by means of constant check with alarm and record capability. It provides integrated exposure information and can provide hard copy via external printer or computer. It is a complete system but may be expanded per need with modules of the FM-5/7 series. The FM-7-ABNI is the more sensitive and versatile version of the broadly used long time standard, the FM-5-ABNI. It may be used to monitor stack effluent down to EPA levels as well as hoods or workplace air.

FM-7ABNI

DESCRIPTION: The FM-7-ABNI uses a standard charcoal filter in TA's unique quick change, no leak holder to trap any airborne Radio Iodine. The filter is under constant surveillance via a thin window scintillation detector. Air is drawn by a regulated pump through a three-foot inlet hose and exhausted via a flow meter through another three-foot hose. These may be extended to allow monitoring of hoods, glove boxes, stacks, etc. Time is recorded by an odometer type timer wired into the pump circuit. The unit is completely self-contained and portable. Complete with 10 filter cartridges.
