CSP™ Alpha Contamination Probe
The SA-32 probe for measurement of surface contamination is designed to be used with CSP meter such as Radiagem™ meter, MIP-10 Digital ™ meter, Avior ® or Colibri® devices.
The SA-32 probe for measurement of surface contamination is designed to be used with CSP meter such as Radiagem™ meter, MIP-10 Digital ™ meter, Avior ® or Colibri® devices. 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.
The SA-32 probe is part of the Canberra™ 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.
With high voltage and digitization of the data occurring in the probe rather than the instrument, measurement quality is no longer dependent on external device quality (cable, host instrument). Moreover, a CSP probe is using a serial protocol to communicate with host, which can be an instrument or a PC.
Calibration and QA measurements can be performed directly with the probe, without using any instrument, by connecting the probe to a computer with Canberra Smart Probe Software (CSPS™), allowing your instruments to remain deployed in the field.
Once calibrated, the SA-32 probe is ready to be used as a plug and play probe to start a QA measurement in CPM, DPM, DMP/100 cm2 with a Radiagem™ 4000 meter; or c/s, Bq, Bq/cm2 with a Radiagem 2000 meter. The SA-32 probe connects to the CSP instrument connector via a CSP cable of various length or via CSP-COM™ communication module to either a Colibri device (Bluetooth® technology) or host system (Wi-Fi, RS-485, Ethernet; RF with specific RF receiver) and becomes a sub assembly of a larger system.
