PACKAGE RADIATION MONITORING SYSTEM

Model # PIM-23B

FEATURES:

AUTOMATIC DETECTOR SYSTEM FOR PACKAGE CONVEYOR

RADIATION TRIGGER POINT IS CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE

MANUAL OVERRIDE

FIVE ENERGY (REGIONS OF INTEREST) WINDOWS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: The PIM-23B monitors packages while they are traveling on a conveyor belt.
Model PIM-23B Package Radiation Monitor is a sturdy, dependable, long life mechanical system with advanced electronics.
The detector is a 3'' x 3'' NaI Scintillator (Optional: 5'' or 7'' diameter) has its own electronics to give the greatest sensitivity.
Numerical measurement results are saved to the 60 Gig hard drive and are easily accessible for all packages: clean and radioactive. Image PIM-23B

PIM-23B

Color LCD computer monitor shows measurement values from all 5 Energy Isotopes. Indicating lights show status as ``CLEAN'' or ``RADIOACTIVE''. The date, time and results of all data that day, that week and that year are available for display. print-out and safe storage.

Accessories: One set of calibration sources is supplied with PIM-23B Package Monitor. This consists of one each Ba-133, Cs-137, Co-60 calibration source standards. Each Source comes with NIST Traceable calibration certificate, test data, and Calibration Factors.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Conveyors: Packages pass beside the detector, display shows status as ``CLEAN'' or ``RADIOACTIVE/CONTAMINATED''.
Detector:
Spectroscopic Grade 3'' x 3'' NaI Scintillation Detector.
(Optional: 5'' or 7'' diameter)
Ultimate Sensitivity: 7µ R/hr above background in 1 second.
Background: Automatically subtracted.
Shielding: 2 cm lead over greater than 2 Pi. Lead shield is modular and easy to assemble (no piece over 65lbs.)
Electronics: The Scintillation Detector has its' own PM tube. PMT base (dynode string circuit) Independent Modular high voltage and pre-amp discriminator. This provides improved sensitivity and easier maintenance if a PM tube is replaced.
