REMOTE AREA MONITOR, MODEL 2010

WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE

TISSUE RESPONSE LARGE DIGITAL READOUT

ION CHAMBER DETECTOR SHOWN BELOW

The HPI Model 2010 is a Remote Area Monitoring System for penetrating radiation. It consists of a number of wall monitors connected to a console unit. The system permits real time observation and recording of radiation levels at critical locations in facilities which have the potential of producing high dose rates in areas which can be occupied. These areas are found around reactors, accelerators, source ranges, hot labs, nuclear fuel handling facilities, radiation therapy rooms or any facility using large quantities of radioactive materials.

The Remote Area Monitor is an independent monitor designed for permanent mounting. It measures the radiation level, continually displays the doserate directly in absorbed dose rate units, displays the status of the monitor, alarms if the dose rate exceeds the preset level, and periodically transmits the information to the Console. The tissue equivalent detectors measure the absorbed dose rate for all penetrating radiation. Fail safe and self test features have been designed into the system and the construction is ruggedized and splash proof.

The wide range of five decades and the door and source interlock capability, enable the monitor to be used as a warning or barrier for high radiation areas as well as a low level monitor for occupied areas.
