Description

The SA-32 probe for measurement of surface contamination is designed to be used with CSP meter such as Radiagem™, MIP-10 Digital, AVIOR^® or Colibri^®. Its ZnS(Ag) detector with 32 cm2 detection area makes it an ideal tool for direct measurement of alpha emitters on glove boxes, small areas and for personal self control, allowing to check worker’s arm in only one pass.

The sensitivity to gamma and/or neutron dose-rate has been reduced to minimize the risk of false positive alarm even in high dose rate environment.

The probe body diameter has been reduced to facilitate general handling and reduce the risk of drops.

SA-32 is part of CANBERRA’s new SMART Probe (CSP™) family. It includes all key components of hardware circuitry (high voltage power supply, amplifier, discriminator, etc.) Also, the intelligence associated with controlling those components is located in the probe – that is control and storage of key parameters, settings, calibrations, probe ID, alarm settings (10 values for each unit to display with default setting), etc. Thus the probe is a fully integrated subsystem taking and transmitting the measurement to the instrument, which is used for display.
