CONTAMINATION MONITOR - [ Type : CM 712 ]
Technical Data
Contamination Monitor Type : CM 712 manufactured by NUCLEONIX SYSTEMS is primarily designed to measure Alpha, Beta & Gamma contamination, on work benches, clothing, hands etc., in Radiochemical plants, Nuclear Power plants and other similar installations. It is designed to be table top model or it can be mounted on a pedastal stand. It operates on AC mains 230V, 50 Hz. This unit has a choice of two types of contamination probes for Beta-gamma and two types for Alpha. Unit has built-in memory and can store upto 1000 readings of contamination data. Data stored can be printed or downloaded into PC if required and can be recalled onto display.

20x2 Dotmatrix LCD display

Memory Storage :
Built-in EEPROM facilitates the user to store the contamination readings upto a maximum of 1000.

Audio :
Unit has the built-in buzzer to give beeps for every radiation event detected and to generate loud audio alarm in the event of countrate exceeding preset levels.

Alarms:
Clean & contamination conditions are indicated by 2 large area RED & GREEN LEDs.

 

Test Facilities:
(a) The instrument has provision to check GM detector response with voltage. Once the start voltage, Voltage step, Preset time are set, User can acquire for plateau generation.

Instrument at the end of acquisition can calculate the slope depending upon the start voltage and end voltage selected and the counts obtained at corresponding voltages.

(b) Instrument is provided with a test mode where in a fixed frequency of pulses are fed to the counter for routine testing.

Instrument Fault Indications: Fault indications of EHT and detector failure are indicated on front panel display and will reset automatically on recovery.

Remote/ External console:
4-20mA full scale output is brought out on a 17pin MS connector to drive a load of upto 600 Ohms. This output is avaliable for CPS/ CPM modes only.

2 sets of potential free contacts of alarm relay with a rating of 3A @ 250VAC are brought out on the MS connector. The relay is deenergized on normal condition and activated on contamination / active condition.

RS-485 Interface/ Ethernet Interface :
