Automess 6150AD-p Contamination Monitoring Probe
The probe serves to detect surface contamination in conjunction with any 6150AD model. If connected to the 6150AD, the 6150AD automatically selects the unit S-1 (pulses per second, counts per second).
All functions as described in the 6150AD’s data sheet remain available, where pulse rate and pulse number take the place of dose rate and dose, respectively.
The indication in S-1 needs to be multiplied by a calibration factor to convert it into surface related activity (Bq/cm2). The calibration factor depends on the type of radionuclide. The radionuclide needs to be known or assumed. The probes cannot serve to determine the radionuclide. Calibration factors for some radionnuclides can be found in the technical data table, and many others are specified in the detailed operating manual.
The detector of the probe 6150AD-p is a GM counter pancake type. With the protective cap removed, it is sensitive to alpha, beta, and gamma radiation thereby allowing to monitor surface contamination including wipe surveys. The protective cap has a built in energy compensation which enables the probe to detect photon radiation at low dose rates. Low energies (e.g., »soft« Xrays) down to a few keV are possible.
Please note that the probe 6150AD-p requires a probe cable which is not included and has to be ordered separately. The following standard cable lengths are available: 1.25m / 3m / 5m / 10m / 20m / 75m / 100m.
