The alarm dosimeter consists of gamma radiation smart probes (AT2343, BDKG-02, BDKG-08) and neutron radiation smart probes (BDKN-02, BDKN-04) (SP). The smart probes are completely independent instruments measuring gamma and neutron radiation dose rate and neutron radiation flux density every 2 s and triggering audible and visual alarm. One or several audible and visual alarm units (AU) may be connected to each smart probe to notify the staff in the case of radiation hazard. Data from smart probes are transferred to the processing unit via RS-485.
The processing unit displays measured values of the selected smart probe and real time. Alarm threshold exceeding or a failure of any system units is accompanied by audible and visual signals showing symbolically the problem location on the display. The processing unit is intended to setup thresholds for each smart probe, monitor smart probe state, correct the real-time clock, protect several service functions with a password, review dose rate and threshold exceeding history of any smart probe.
When PC is used as a part of a radiation monitoring system, applied software running under Windows 2000 is intended to configure the system, read out readings and process them.
The map of the monitoring area or target and dose rate values as charts and tables in measuring posts are displayed on PC. Alarm threshold exceeding in any smart probe or failure of any system units are displayed on PC as color zones and accompanied by audible alarm. Measured dose rate values in measuring post are stored in a database (Microsoft Access-2000).
