Description
The iCAM/MF moving filter detector head provides iCAM users with an option
in filter handling. In place of the fixed, card mounted filter, which must
be changed manually at regular intervals, the mechanism passes a continuous
belt of filter material under the detector. Hence, when a filter change is
required, instead of manual intervention being necessary, the iCAM firmware
commands the mechanism to step the filter on, presenting a clean piece of filter
material to the detector. The length of the filter roll, combined with the
ability of the iCAM compensation algorithms to adapt to filter spectrum shape
changes, allows over six months operation with no manual intervention in typical
applications. This renders the iCAM/MF ideal for use in hazardous or inaccessible
areas where frequent personnel access is undesirable, e.g., long term unattended
environmental monitoring. It also allows the iCAM to operate in high dust-loading
environments, where otherwise frequent manual filter changes would be required.
