Product Description
4Product Description
The following chapters give an overview of the monitor and its components. The location of
each component is shown and a detailed description of their function given.
4.1 General
The monitor is designed to provide a final barrier against the transfer of unacceptable levels of
radioactive contamination on the surface of pressurized gas cylinders (gas bottles) from
radiologically controlled areas to clean areas.
These monitor can differ in height but must have the same diameter for a secure position
during the operation and to make sure that the distance between material and detector is
always the same. This allows for a clearance measurement with optimal detection reliability
and instrument performance.
The monitor move on a slide in and out of the measurement chamber. This slide has a stable
support frame, which firmly holds the gas bottles in position during movement.
A platform is attached to the monitor. It is designed to hold up to three racks for gas bottles,
one for the bottles to be measured coming from the controlled area, one for bottles that show
no contamination after the clearance measurement and one for contaminated bottles.
One single operator manually loads the gas bottles into the measurement chamber and
unloads them afterwards onto the applicable rack. He monitors and controls all processes
mainly via touchscreen. The monitor has visual and acoustic aids to help the operator.
All relevant measurement results are printed on an adhesive label for further reference and
processing. Furthermore it is possible to access data such as measurement results from a
remote computer within the network via the central monitoring system CeMoSys™.

Electrical Cabinet
4.2.1 Line Filter
The line filter is installed between the electronic equipment in the electrical cabinet and the
external power supply in order to decrease electromagnetic interference.
The disturbance may interrupt, obstruct, or otherwise degrade or limit the effective
performance of the circuit. These effects can range from a simple degradation of data to a total
loss of data.
4.2.2 Photomultiplier Box (PM box)
The PM box is installed in the electrical cabinet. Fibre-optic cables connect it to the detectors in
the measurement chamber, which detect ionizing radiation and send this information in form of
light impulses to the PM box.
The PM box is extremely sensitive to light and produces an electric current from the incoming
light impulses. The intensity of the impulses depends on the type of active material at the
detector. The light impulses are multiplied and transmitted as electric signal to the FiLiCo.
The multiplication rate must be linear for the expected pulse rate (quantity of light). That means
the output signal for all expected activities must be proportional to their input signals. Therefore
we recommend to set the high voltage for the PM box as indicated on a label on the PM box.
4.2.3 FiLiCo
FiLiCo is short for Fibre Line Communicator, which is a device developed by Mirion in order to
optimize the function and all processes of their monitors based on fibre-optic technology.
It receives data and signals from all input devices that are connected to the gas bottle monitor,
such as the PM box. FiLiCo translates them accordingly for the computer and subsequently
translates back the processed data from the computer to the related output devices.
4.2.4 UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and UPS Battery
The monitor is equipped with a 24VDC mini-UPS and a UPS battery which adjust voltage
fluctuations and provide electrical power to the monitor when the main power fails.
During a main power fail, the mini-UPS provides power for a full operation for a certain period
(UPS shutdown time). A battery symbol on the display shows the user the remaining time for
the computer operation. The computer automatically initiates a safe full power down.
When the main power is available again during the UPS operation, the system automatically
resumes the normal operation.
When the main power is permanently unavailable, the UPS fully stops when the UPS buffer
time is over.
To continue a normal operation of the monitor the main switch must be set to OFF and then to
ON.

4.3 Detection Equipment
The following chapters describe the main components for the detection of ionizing radiation.
4.3.1 Measurement Chamber
A square base with four sidewalls (two fixed sidewalls and two doors) forms the cavity of the
measurement chamber, which is designed to hold a gas bottle for clearance measurement.
Each sidewall has a detector holder for eight sidewall detectors, which are installed along the
full length of a gas bottle. For complete measurement results, there is an additional detector
installed on the bottom of the measurement chamber. All 33 detectors are of the same type.
The monitor has a slide with support bar and a lockable clamp that encloses the gas bottle and
securely holds it in position when the slide moves. A light barrier can detect a gas bottle inside
the measurement chamber.
To protect against scatter radiation the measurement chamber has a solid lead shielding at all
sides.
Measurement chamber
4.3.2 Slide
The gas bottle moves on a slide in and out of the measurement chamber. To prevent
unwanted movement of the slide during measurement and loading/unloading the slide locks in
two positions.
When the slide is fully in the chamber the lock bar engages to hold the slide in its position. A
sensor transmits a signal of this position to the FiLiCo (refer to chapter 4.2.3). When the
operator pushes the slide unlock button, the electric motor drives the sliding lever, which
disengages the lock bar. The operator can then move the slide out of the measurement
chamber to the loading/unloading position.
At this position the lock bar engages again and secures the slide. A second sensor records
and transmits this position. Again, the operation of the slide unlock button disengages the lock
bar and unlocks the slide.
A visual aid informs the operator about the position of the slide. LED strips are installed on the
frame adjacent to the slide and change color:
·Green: lever is locked; bottle can be moved on/off the slide
·Red: lever is unlocked; bottle must not be moved on/off the slide.
