The Model 375 is a versatile, compact, and easy-to-use digital electronic controller designed for monitoring radiation in areas. Its simple design accommodates many different detectors to suit a wide variety of applications, and it is equipped with a local readout and alarms. These versatile units may also be connected to an optional auxiliary indicator/annunciator to alert personnel at remote locations. The user-friendly, digital design enhances setup and operation. The Model 375 units may also be networked to a central PC-based station where data are logged and alarms posted.
This affordable and very flexible system has found its way into many applications resulting in a full complement of detectors, accessories, and options that include remote indicator alarms, printers, relay outputs, weather-proof enclosures, Ethernet networking software, industrial cameras, and more.
Sites requiring centralization of their data can link multiple 375 systems together via Ethernet and view them using a common web browser with the purchase of Ludlum’s Webpage & Service Software. This program collects all data in real time, logs data, and annunciates any alarms. The system can also send intelligent email alerts to responsible personnel and capture a picture of whatever triggered an alarm if optional Ethernet cameras are employed.
The detector is fitted with a bracket to attach to the Model 375. It consists of a cadmium-located polyethylene sphere surrounding a 3He detector. A study has demonstrated that the 9-inch cadmium-loaded sphere has a response similar to that of a 10-inch diameter rem-responding sphere.
The neutron detector is designed to detect thermal and fast neutrons (0.025 eV to approximately 12 MeV). Neutrons are detected indirectly through nuclear reactions, which result in energetically charged particles. Gamma rejection is very good, resulting in less than 10 cpm in a 10 R/hr field.
