Filtering belt type LFS2-50

Unit provides the performance of the following functions:

  • Measurement of average values of beta- and alpha-emitting radionuclides volumetric activity in the air with predetermined period of shot change of the filtering belt (LFS2-50) (shot change is made in case of dust or activity accumulation)
  • Verification of detection unit on external devices signal and automated updating of spectrometric circuit parameters through internal source
  • Estimated measurement of current volumetric activity
  • Signalization when average volumetric activity exceeds programmed constraint
  • Constant measurement of volume air-flow through the filter and evaluation of total volume of sample
  • Self-diagnostic and performance monitoring
  • Transition of measurement results through two channels with RS-485 interface and one channel with RS-232 interface
