| The
AMP-200, or Area Monitor Probe, is a GM tube-based rate meter.
It has been designed specifically to be used in
high dose rate fields. The AMP-200’s detector features linear
response from 1 R/h to 15,000 R/h
( 10 mSv/h
to 150 Sv/h ). |

importantly, since the probe’s sensitive electronics are located far
from the high field (25 to 350 feet away), they are not subject to
destructive gamma exposure.
Thus, the probe head may be located near a filter cube, rad waste
stream, resin tank, or even inside the fuel pool (to take advantage of
waterproof characteristics).
The AMP-200 may be used one of 2
ways: by locally reading the smoothed digital display via the
hand-held meter, or by connecting the meter to a
Remote Monitoring System
(e.g. wired DDC 16 or wireless WRMPlus) and TeleMap. |

Applications |
|
Real-time
monitor applications. For example, the probe head may be placed
directly into a filter cube or against a resin tank for the
purpose of providing survey results
Replacement
of traditionally “difficult to calibrate” underwater instruments
Provides
real-time, remote monitoring in geometries developed for extendible
“pole” rate meters (TelePole, Teletector,etc.)
Local
readout of hand-held meter allows for use as a portable survey
instrument

Technical
Description |
|
The
Area Monitor Probe (AMP-200) is a high-range GM tube-based detector
designed to be continuously used in areas where high exposure levels
exists.
The
instrument consists of three parts: the Meter box (which includes the
display unit, operating pushbuttons and detector’s electronics); The
probe head, which contains the GM tube; and the connecting cable,
which is fitted with quick-connect-type connectors at each end.
The AMP-200’s connections and probe head feature watertight
sealing to allow for use in underwater applications.
