VF is launching a modernized version of the PAM-100 Portable Activity Meter on June 1, following comprehensive development and testing.
The PAM-100 series activity meters are portable hand-held instruments intended for the measurement of alpha, beta, and/or gamma surface contamination. They contain a scintillator covered with light-tight foil, with a photomultiplier and two-channel processing electronics.
The modernized PAM-100 meter brings new interesting functions and features:
- "Contamat" measurement mode - integration measurement for deciding on contamination or cleanliness of a specific area in comparison with the set threshold.
- Optional integrated GM tube for measurement of the gamma dose equivalent rate. It is an additional measurement, which can give a warning to the operator of higher ambient radiation levels.
- One or two channels can be displayed on the display simultaneously.
- More measurement presets.
- The currently measured values in the "Ratemeter" mode and the results of the integration measurements in the "Contamat" mode can be stored in the measurement archive together with a time stamp. The archive can then be exported to a file.
More technical data can be found on the PAM-100 product page.
