Model 4906AB

Alpha-Beta Hand & Foot Monitor

Part Number: 48-3688

Features

  • Alpha-Beta Gas Flow Proportional Probes
  • Large LCD User Interface
  • Automatic Routines for Detector Setup and Alarm Calculations
  • Voice Prompts
  • Built-in Ethernet Interface
  • Single-Hand Operational Mode
  • Front Access to All Components for Repair/Calibration

The Model 4906AB is a low cost, industrial duty, alpha and beta contamination monitoring system for checking personnel hands and feet. A large color LCD presents users with the system status and points out any potential contamination in an easy-to-use manner.

The system employs six gas flow proportional type detectors with counting activated by optical switches. Alarms are annunciated locally and can be augmented with optional relays for signaling remote devices or a light stack mounted on top. The built-in Ethernet interface supports connection to a network for gathering all count cycles and remote monitoring of the status.

All maintenance can be performed from the front of the instrument. Detector access for quick replacement or repair is facilitated by hinged top covers. The unit is equipped with rear-mounted wheels to facilitate transporting the instrument from one location to another.
