SG-2R™
Gamma Probe
The SG-2R probe for gamma measurement is designed to be used with any CSP™ survey meter. Its very good sensitivity makes it ideal to detect gamma emitters starting from very low background levels.
Features
- High sensitivity gamma measurement
- 2" x 2" NaI(Tl)
- Belongs to CSP™ family
- Calibration via PC
- Dynamic energy discriminator button
Description
The SG-2R probe for gamma measurement is designed to be used with any CSP survey meter. Its very good sensitivity makes it ideal to detect gamma emitters starting from very low background levels.
The SG-2R unit 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 talking 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 the host which can be an instrument or a PC.
Calibration and QA measurements can be performed directly with the probe, without even 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 SG-2R probe is ready to be used as a plug and play probe to start a QA measurement in CPS, R, R/h with US units survey meter; or c/s, Sveq, Sveq/h with IS units survey meter. The SG-2R probe connects to the CSP survey meter via a 1.5 or 20 meter CSP cable.
A push-button located on the probe housing triggers a high energy threshold. When depressed and held, an LED is activated and the probe measures only gamma above the preset threshold. It is a powerful feature to detect the presence of a specific isotope like 60Co. Energy threshold is set through the CSPS platform and a PC.
SG-2R probe is able to store up to 1000 data points from a data-logging procedure handled via the host instrument. These data are: Index, date/time, measurement value, selected unit and counting time.
The SG-2R probe can be upgraded (probe’s firmware) via the CSPS platform, a USB cable and a PC.
