ENVIRONMENTAL MONITOR, MODEL 3220

Environmental Monitoring

Rugged

Long Battery Life

Records for 2 Weeks

 

The Field Unit is a recording environmental monitor that is designed to collect the history of radiation levels over an extended period of time under adverse field conditions. Once the instrument is started, it measures the penetrating radiation level for a preset interval, stores the information in its memory and repeats the sequence until it is stopped or the memory is full. Using a five minute interval, it can store up to two weeks of time correlated data.

The instrument has the capability of starting the storing procedure at a predetermined date and time, and displaying all the preset parameters as well as the present and maximum dose rates. To obtain a history of the radiation levels since the Field Unit was started, the external connector has a serial communications link for interrogating, changing all keyed in values, and for data retrieval. A computer program is available to obtain the data from the Field Unit. A hard copy of all the data can then be printed or saved.

The data is also transmitted from the communications link every minute. This allows the instrument to be used as an autonomous field area monitor.

The 16 key keyboard is used to display and change all the important internal parameters. This includes, among others, a user number to facilitate tracking of the data, battery hours, status and of course the data. Numeric data is entered with the 16 key keyboard. A special mode is used to calibrate the instrument.

The Field Unit uses an energy compensated GM detector. The waterproof case is constructed of high impact plastic with a gasket seal which must be opened to gain access to the keyboard and batteries.
