The
AMP-50 is a GM tube-based low
range Area Monitor. It has
been designed specifically to be used in low dose rate fields using a
very sensitive GM tube.
The
AMP-50’s detector features a linear response from 10 µR/h to 4 R/h
(0.1 µSv/h to 40 mSv/h ).
|
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-50 may be used in 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 or connected directly to
RS-232 computer input (using the RS-232 cable)

Technical
Description |
|
The
Area Monitor Probe (AMP-50) is a low-range GM tube-based detector
designed to be continuously used in areas where exposure levels are
required to be monitored.
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-50’s connections and probe head feature watertight
sealing to allow for use in underwater applications.
