EpeeCAM

Category: Characterization > Monitors > Radiation Monitors
Reference # : Model No :

Ultra-compact continuous air monitor capable of real-time detection of alpha and beta-emitting particulates. Its flexible design provides a high-performance platform for detecting trace amounts of radioactive particulates in the presence of ambient radon or alternatively for making high accuracy radon measurements. Can be configured to measure and alarm on the presence of special nuclear materials (SNM) or to perform radon progeny measurements and report on potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC).

Benefits

Fully standalone battery-powered CAM with visual alarms as well as voice output for alarms and data reporting. Measurements are made using a solid-state alpha/beta detector viewing a liter in theflow path of the built-in 6 LPM pump. The internal Windows-CE processor board analyzes the data from the alpha multi-channel analyzer and gross beta channel and performs alarm determinations and data reporting. Complete log and spectral data can be retrieved by connecting a USB memory stick or by Active Syncing to a laptop, tablet, or PC. Calibration and setup are via PC connected to the mini-USB “client” port. Operation of the EpeeCAM is simple and intuitive, requiring no specialized knowledge.
