The unit continuously acquires and processes data coming from the detector and compares results with user defined internally stored threshold parameters. The ratemeter is equipped with LEDs, internal acoustic buzzer and relays, used to issue warnings related to failure, alarm or prealarm conditions. Measurements, alarm/prealarm thresholds and operating parameters are stored into an internal, non-volatile memory. The user can set thresholds and parameters through an external keyboard; advanced parameters are password protected. Each SATURN ratemeter can be connected to any of the following detectors: The ratemeter can communicate and be managed by a host PC through an Ethernet network or RS485 thanks to the 5700 sMON control software.The SATURN ratemeter is available in 3 versions:
Two user-selected measurements can be displayed at the same time on the ratemeter display, including: istantaneous or average count rate, dose rate, activity concentration; counts, dose or activity integrated values.
