Laundry Contamination Monitor – Model 329-32

The Model 329-32 Laundry Contamination Monitor is intended for automatic monitoring of both alpha and beta gamma contamination on clothing or other light articles presumed to be free of radioactivity, or within release or reuse limits. A conveyor belt carries articles between two gas proportional detector arrays. An audible alarm will sound when contamination exceeds the given alarm setpoint. A light-emitting diode (LED) array spans the width of each end of the laundry monitor. The LEDs show the position of the alarm on the conveyor, and provide the operator with the status of the machine.

Description

A dual liquid crystal display (LCD) shows the counts and the current operating conditions, such as conveyor speed and gas flow. A 20-key keypad also allows the changing of alarm setpoints, operating parameters, and other system information. Changing any parameter requires the use of a security code. The entire system is mobile, with lockable casters to prevent unwanted movement of the monitor. Power required is 115 Vac at 2 amps.
