Operates in the current mode to measure 1 x 105 µCi/cc
Measures output current up to 1 mA
RS-232 and “VICO loop” serial data port
+ 15 to - 15 VDC "1" to "0" transitions for improved noise immunity
On board DC voltage regulators
Microprocessor controlled, digital electrometer
LED operational status indicators
Drives up to 3,000 ft of cable
Used with Model 960 System or 946A UDR
Regulatory Guide 1.97 requires operating Reactors to monitor the noble gas fission products released to the environment over the range on 1.0E-6 up to 1.0E+5 µCi/cc. Pulse mode scintillation detectors, which are designed to maximize their response to extremely small amounts of radioactive gasses, have the ability to operate over a range of 1.0E-6 up to 1.0E+0 µCi/cc. To meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.97, the Model 943-27 Current Mode Beta Scintillation Detector with digital preamplifier were developed by Cardinal Health. By using the Model 943-27 Current Mode Detector, in conjunction with a standard pulse mode detector, noble gas monitoring over a range of 1 x 10-6 to 1 x 105 µCi/cc is achieved.
