AMP-50 Area Monitor
The AMP-50’s detector features a linear response from 10 µR/h to 4 R/h (0.1 µSv/h to 40 mSv/h ).
The probe head may be located near a filter cube, rad waste stream, resin tank, or even inside the fuel pool (to take advantage of waterproof characteristics). The AMP-50 may be used in one of 2 ways: by locally reading the smoothed digital display via the hand-held meter, or by connecting the meter to a Remote Monitoring System (e.g. wired DDC 16 or wireless WRMPlus) and TeleMap or connected directly to RS-232 computer input (using the RS-232 cable)

Technical Description
The Area Monitor Probe (AMP-50) is a low-range GM tube-based detector designed to be continuously used in areas where exposure levels are required to be monitored.
The instrument consists of three parts: the Meter box, which includes the display unit, operating pushbuttons and detector’s electronics; The probe head, which contains the GM Tube; and the connecting cable, which is fitted with quick-connect-type connectors at each end. The AMP-50’s connections and probe head feature watertight sealing to allow for use in underwater applications.
