WIDE RANGE GAMMA or NEUTRON AREA MONITOR Model # FML-7B and FML-7C FEATURES: * ON-LINE REAL-TIME MONITORING * ALL PLUG-IN MODULAR * RACK MOUNTING OR CASE * SINGLE OR MULTI-CHANNEL * RUGGED DETECTORS * LOCAL OR REMOTE MONITORING (UP TO 4,000 m CABLE OPTIONAL) * HIGH LEVEL ALARM, SOLID STATE, NON-CONTACTING * FML-7B: RS-232 OUTPUT FOR PRINTER OR PC AND REMOTE DISPLAY OUTPUTS * FML-7C: COMPLETE ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS * MICROPROCESSOR BASED DATA MEASUREMENT AND DISPLAY APPLICATION: Area monitor in and around nuclear reactors, hot cells, irradiators and other facilities handling radioactive materials. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The FML-7 Series Radiation Monitors incorporate a digital alarm ratemeter, power supply, alarm, amplifier, choice of rack or case, and reliable GM, BF$_{\textrm{3}}$ or scintillation detectors. Because of the plug-in modular construction, additional channels or functions can be added. Dependable detectors and circuit design prevent the system readings from falling even in very high fields. Front panel controls allow the alarm set point to be displayed. Alarm activation produces flashing red light on front panel and piercing intermittent 2000Hz tone. Optional relay is also closed (or opened) for activation of remote alarms. Optional stand-by battery power available.

Counter Channels The ET-20 incorporates 20 discrete counters. This design gives much better counting statistics and level-of-confidence than systems using data-sampling or analog techniques. Data Analysis, Control, Display, Archiving, optional report generation The ET-20 sets count times, alarm trigger levels, alarm mode (latching or non-latching) and other parameters. All data is automatically displayed, archived and available for graph / trend plotting. ET-20 and the detectors become a complete, user-friendly, 20-channel, area-monitor system that is capable of handling GM, Scintillation, Proportional and pulse output Ion Chambers for Gamma and Neutron monitoring. Data Transmission For Ethernet based RMS systems with more than 20 area monitor detectors, and for systems which include other detectors such as air and stack monitors, liquid monitors, etc., model ET-20 serves as an Ethernet node which allows two way data flow to the main TA-RMS server and operators console, even over very long distances.
