Area Monitor WS05C

Area Monitor WS05C

The area monitors WS05C-1 / WS05C-2 and WS05C-3 are stationary room monitoring systems for the dose rate measurement of γ-radiation and X-rays, preferably used for the permanent monitoring of isotope laboratories, radiotherapy rooms, storage rooms for radioactive materials, etc.

The WS05C is available in the following versions:
– WS05C-1: Area monitor (1 measuring channel) with RS232-interface for the operation with any probe of the GRAETZ-programme.
– WS05C-2: Area monitor (2 measuring channels) with RS232-interface for one measuring channel, for the simultaneous operation of max. 2 different or similar probes – any of the GRAETZ-programme.
– WS05C-3: Area monitor (3 measuring channels) with RS232-interface for one measuring channel, for the simultaneous operation of max. 3 different or similar probes – any of the GRAETZ-programme.

Each measuring channel indicates the measured values on a digital, illuminated LCdisplay (60×30 mm). For each measuring channel four individual dose rate alarm thresholds are free programmable over the whole measuring range of the connected probes.
When using γ-probes, the dose rate shown on the LC-Display is Sv/h. When an end-window probe for α-/β-measurements or a NaI-scintillation probe for β-/γmeasurements is connected, the measured value is displayed in cps. Additionally to the digital display, the dose rate is also indicated in analog form by a logarithmic bar graph.
The instrument is autoranging. When a measuring channel triggers a dose rate alarm, the integrated alarm light of the WS05C gives an optical and acoustical alarm. In the standard version: green means “ready for operation”, orange means “alarm threshold exceeded” / red “error” (e.g. defective probe). The red LED situated above the display indicates by which measuring channel the alarm has been triggered. For connecting the WS05C with a computer, an RS232-interface for one measuring channel is available.
