The
model 6060 is a neutron rem detector. It is designed to be operated
with the 6000 series components. The detector is a modified Anderson
Braun type detector. The high energy range has been extended into
the GeV range by the use of lead compensators inside the detector.
The detector is a stand alone component needing only 12 volts to
operate. The preamp and power supply are included and are mounted
on the end of the detector. High voltage, discriminator and gain
are all set digitally. The preamp is designed for low noise and
low microphonic response. The electronics is housed in a sealed
housing to eliminate atmospheric and electrical noise. The output
is a series of pulses proportional to the radiation field. The instrument
has TTL, 12V, and PULSE-LINK outputs.
PULSE-LINK is a system that combines the output pulses and the 12
volt power supply together on one coax cable. This allows the detector
to be remotely powered and operated on only a single piece of coax.
This greatly eases setup in existing facilities and also makes it
simple to provide temporary placement using existing coax runs.
Of course separate signal and power lines may also be used.
