EUCLIDES

The environmental monitoring system EUCLIDES consists in a network of ELSE NUCLEAR detectors connected to a wall-mounted Local Control Unit, featuring a panel PC with a complete and autonomous management software.

All the available models of ELSE NUCLEAR detectors can be connected to the EUCLIDES LCU and managed by the system.

EUCLIDES is designed to be a simple and extremely versatile solution for all the applications requiring a system to monitor the radiation levels in medium-size areas, possibly using different detectors (e.g. for gamma or neutron radiation), managing the data in real-time from a single local interface.

The EUCLIDES system is composed of:

• EUCLIDES LCU, a wall-mounted box with panel PC, power supply module, I/O modules and connectors
• alarm column with LEDs and siren for status indication
• detectors connected to the LCU through dedicated probe cables, to be selected from the whole ELSE NUCLEAR catalogue

Thanks to the versatility and modularity of the system design and its components, it is possible to adapt the EUCLIDES architecture to many different specific requirements.

System versatility examples

Among the most representative examples of versatility, we can mention the following:

• more than one alarm column can be managed, each one dedicated to a single detector
• test buttons on the LCU to test alarm activations
• double panel PC to split in two groups the connected detectors synoptic visualisation
• “beam-on” input management, or interface with external sistems
