Overview
The X96S is a family of measurement products that is intended to replace the current X96N and X99 product families. These
products:
•use nuclear measurement techniques,
•support all features of the current X96N and X99 products,
•support up to 32 scintillation or ionization detectors,
•optional communication protocols,
•improved user interface options1,
•more user functionality, and
•more product flexibility.
Advantages
•Non-Contact Measurement
•Displays in Customer Units
•Most Applications can be solved with low-energy sources
•Not affected by:
-extreme temperatures
-caustic processes
-sterile processes
Gamma's Advantages
•Mounts external to the process (no components exposed to process material)
•Not affected by changing process conditions
•Does not make material radioactive
•Does not change the material
•Can be shielded by lead
X96S Advantages
•Multiple communication protocols (HART, FieldBus, DeltaV, ProfiBus, ModBus)
•Identical interface on local display as via HART
•Blind transmitter in detector on self contained design
•Custom configuration of display
•Surface, panel or rack mount available
•Field mountable
•Push button calibration
1This includes the ability to have a simple or complex user interface, a remote user interface, or even no user interface.
