Automatic stationary device for continuous radiation monitoring is designed as stationary equipment mounted on site based on АТ2327 alarm dosimeter. The alarm dosimeter principle of operation is based on gamma radiation smart probes BDKG-11/1 and/or BDKG-11/2 (SP), maximum quantity – 10 smart probes. When a transportation vehicle crosses area under monitoring, it interrupts infrared beam that passes from IR radiator to IR receiver of photoelectric detector, in this case all smart probes automatically switch from rated background measuring mode to detection mode. When preset threshold of counting rate is exceeded, the audible and visual alarm (AU) warns personnel about detection of a gamma source. During measurement, counting rate information is transferred from each smart probe to processing unit (PU) located remotely in control room, via RS485.
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 and review counting rate and threshold exceeding history of any smart probe.
