DESCRIPTION: The SAAM-2HVM
series are three channel air monitors for simultaneous measuring
of gross Alpha, Beta-Gamma particulates and gaseous radioactivity
and airborne chemicals and vapors including Iodine. Like all of the
SAAM series, these are continuous duty, high capacity, rugged skid
or caster-mounted systems. Electronics are microprocessor with color
LCD display. Also preamps etc. are plug-in modules allowing change
or addition of function as needed and allowing rapid repair by substitution
of modules in the field. The modular system is covered by T/A's unique
exchange warranty, in addition to the full one year warranty covering
all T/A products.

Shields are void free lead encased in welded steel and with
stainless steel liners for a long, useful life and easy decontamination.
Filters are easily changed via quick disconnect, O-ring sealed filter
holder. Shield can be opened for filter change or cleaning with minimum
effort. All shield connections and openings are sealed against air
leaks. The air moving system is based on a high capacity air pump
capable of delivering 5 cfm with options up
to 30 cfm free air and including fine regulation in the 3 cfm to 5
cfm operating range. The entire system is mounted in a self-contained
rugged cabinet and comes complete with all cabling and connectors
in place ready to operate. The standard unit is operated from 115
V single phase, 60 Hz; 220 V optional, 50 or 60 Hz.
