ICRP-51 H*(10) Response available (IC-10A-P)

The IC10A is a rugged ion chamber detector designed for accurate and highly stable field measurements. The detector is used for measuring exposure rates of gamma, X-ray, and beta radiation over a wide range. Combined with the RAM DA 2000 monitors, the IC10A makes an excellent choice for maintaining the highest safety standards in a wide variety of applications including, radiochemistry, nuclear medicine, transport and storage, radiotherapy, research laboratories and health physics.

The detector contains an ionization chamber and electronic circuits. The RAM DA 2000 monitor supplies power and the detector output is a square wave signal, with a frequency that is proportional to the measured field. The IC10 has two gain ranges and a special offset zeroing capability. Gain or offset can be controlled automatically or manually using the RAM DA 2000 monitor.
