5September 2012 HPIC

Portable

Model 400AC

• MDA of about 2 Ci/m3 • Immune to radon• Dual channel Electrometer• Quad chamber for total Gamma

compensation• Communication to PC via RS-232;

Automatic Gamma CalibrationDiagnostics; battery life, power

supplies• Rechargeable NiMH Batteries• Constant flow; 2 LPM (5 volume

changes/min)

6September 2012 HPIC

Portable

Model 200SS

• Based on the Model 200SBNon-Gamma compensated, usesboth chambers for tritium measurementSuccessor to the Model 394 and AN/PDR-74

• 400cc volume; MDA of 2-3 Ci/m3

• Radon suppression• Fast response, 10 seconds to 90% of final

reading• Low cost

Portable

Model 2x200-LD

can be configured as a “sniffer” to provide real-time indication of the T2

and T2O concentrations which allow

the user to quickly identify the source of leakage of tritium from

containers.8September 2012 HPIC

Portable

Model 2x200-LD

• Dual channel electrometer

• T2 and T2O, are selected with a front panel toggle switch

• Measurement appears on a single digital display.
