PORTABLE IODINE MONITOR Model # FR-PIB Total Airborne Activity Model# FR-PII-PB Iodine Only FEATURES: * DETECTS 6 x 10$^{-11}$ $\mu $Ci/cc in 30 minutes * BUILT-IN TIMER * PORTABLE REAL TIME ALARM * LINE OPERATED * INTEGRATED EXPOSURE * READS DIRECTLY IN $\mu $Ci/cc * CAN DRAW AIR FROM HOOD or ROOM * QUICK CHANGE FILTER * OPTIONAL: RS-232 COMPUTER AND/OR DATALOGGER INTERFACE APPLICATION: The FR Series Air Monitor assures Safety against airborne radioactivity contamination by means of constant check with alarm and optional record capability. It provides integrated exposure information. The FR Series is sensitive and versatile. Although designed as an industrial workplace and hospital breathing air measurement system, it may be used to monitor fume hoods and stack effluent down to EPA levels. DESCRIPTION: The FR-P Series uses standard charcoal filters in TA's unique quick change, no leak holders to trap any airborne radio-iodine. The filter is under constant surveillance via a GM (FR-PIB) or scintillation (FR-PII) detector. Air is drawn by a high volume pump through a flow meter and exhausted through a short three-foot hose. An Inlet and outlet hose may be attached to allow monitoring of hoods, glove boxes, stacks, etc. Time is controlled by a timer wired into the pump circuit. The unit is completely self-contained and portable. Complete with 10 filters. Figure 1: FR-PIB Figure 2: FR-PII SPECIFICATIONS: Electronics: PRS-5 Scaler/Timer with Energy Analyzer (See PRS-5 Spec Sheet or FIL-7 Programmable Scaler/Timer Spec Sheet). Pump: High Flow Pump and Filter holder.
