CoMo 170F

CoMo 170F


Special edition for nuclear operations at fire brigades. 

 

Fields of application

Fire Brigades, Civil Defence, Authorities, Industry

Features

  • efficient, portable contamination monitor with thin-layer plastic scintillation detector completely working without gas-filled or
    gas flow proportional detectors
  • measurement of alpha, beta and gamma radiation with only one detector  (the measuring system automatically detects the existence of alpha radiation)
  • possibility of simultaneous or selective measurement of α- and
    β-/γ-contaminations 
  • easy-to-use (convenient operation with 5 membrane-switch arrays)
  • all functions are secured by a password
  • integrated data storage, internal software adapted to fire brigades requirements 
  • additional alarm threshold at triple background count
  • a mechanically defective detector foil can be repaired by the user himself (no expensive detector repair required by the manufacturer
    as otherwise customary for xenon detectors) 
  • avoiding high costs for gas flushing
