Specifications for TRIAD TnT Dosimeter Kit (Model 10100AT)
Exposure and exposure rate accuracy Basic accuracy of Model 35050AT is ± 1% of reading ± 2 range resolution steps over range of 18° to 28°C and ± 2% of reading ± 2 range resolution steps over the full operating temperature range of 0° to 50°C. 3% NIST-traceable calibration provided with each system and includes effects of Models 35050AT, 96035B and 96020C
Exposure time measurement Exposure time accuracy is ± 0.1% of reading ± 0.2 msec. Maximum exposure time is 6.5 seconds and measurement resolution is 0.2 msec
Nominal measurement rangeMeasurement modes
kVp/Dose/Time Single shot, direct beam measurement of exposure, kVp, and time. Auto-ranging across three decade ranges. Auto reset between exposures. Display update after each exposure
kVp/Rate Simultaneous measurement of kVp and exposure rate
Full sensitivity dose Auto-ranging across five decades of sensitive ranges. Automatic drift & offset compensation, and automatic post exposure display hold
Full sensitivity rate Measurement range covers a span from low-level image intensifier measurements to unattenuated direct beams. Automatic offset compensation and nonlinear filtering. Auto-ranging
provides five decades of sensitivity ranges. Display updates once per second
Very Low Dose Rate (VLDR) This mode is only for making very low dose rate measurements. Nonlinear digital filtering and autoranging provide five decades of sensitivity ranges. Display updates once per second. In this mode, automatic current offset and drift compensation is disabled. As a result, the system can display very low dose ratesPower requirements Life ~30 hours with six AA alkaline batteries. Automatic power-down after user-selected period of unattended operation (5-255 minutes). An AC adapter is supplied with each 35050AT. When the AC adapter is in use, the auto power down feature is disabled, providing continuous operation. User selections for ion chamber, units, kV filter pack, temperature, pressure, and frame are stored in nonvolatile memory before automatic turnoff; eliminates manual re-selection at power-up
Bias voltage supply Fixed electronic bias (~ 300 V). Bias voltage is removed from triaxial input connector at instrument turnoff
Customization Allows user to modify contents of nonvolatile memory including ion chamber and kV filter pack conversion factors, temperature and pressure units, radiation units, and power down interval. A field customization software program is included for use with an IBM®-PC or compatible
