DESCRIPTION: The SAAM-4HVM
series are four channel air monitors for simultaneous measuring
of gross Alpha, and Beta-Gamma particulates. 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 with stainless steel
parts for a long, useful life and easy decontamination. Filters are
easily changed via quick disconnect, supply and take up spools. 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; Optional 220 V, 50 or 60 Hz.
