SaphyGATE - Model G -Radiation Portal Monitor
SaphyGATE G is an easy-to-use Radiation Portal Monitor optimized for truck, train and cargo radiation control. It is based on large-surface, high-volume plastic detectors providing the highest sensitivity.
SaphyGATE G is an advanced automatic radiological portal monitor for vehicle loads. Reaching high measurement performances and resisting heavy conditions, this system is specially designed for detection of very low artificial and natural radioactive sources in truck, train and cargo loads.
Its smart algorithm tracks the background attenuation due to vehicle shielding in order to strongly reduce the false alarm rate. The association between high volume plastic scintillators, the spectrometry electronic board and the algorithm enables reliability and performance in alarm classification for the discrimination of natural and artificial radiation. SaphyGATE G is recommended for the recycling and steel industry, border control and nuclear facilities. It complies with the standard IEC 62022.
Detector type:
- Plastic scintillator detector PVT (Polyvinyltoluene) – 25 liters / 6,6 gal
Energy range:
- From 30 keV to 7 MeV
Working temperature:
- From -20°C to +50°C (–4°F to +122°F)
Enclosure:
- Hermetic aluminium box, EMC shielded
Central unit:
- Industrial PC with MS Windows and TFT XGA 12” colored touch-screen
Protection grade:
- IP 65
Standards:
- Compliant with international standards including IEC 62022
Dimensions:
- 1500 x 750 x 320 mm (59”x 29”x 13”)
Weight:
- About 400kg (882 lb) with lead shields and stand
Performance:
- The new SaphyGATE G radiation portal monitor allows for the detection of any radioactive sources, even in case of low radiations. Its adaptive alarm threshold and alarm classification functions ensure the discrimination of natural and artificial radiation.
Accuracy:
- SaphyGATE G is based on an innovative algorithm, designed to compensate the background attenuation caused by the vehicle driving through. This feature allows to perform a better radiation detection with a lower false alarm rate compared to other classical systems, even in case of small activity sources.
Ease of use:
- Its specific design is adapted to facilitate maintenance operations (remote access with an internet connection). The intuitive touchscreen interface includes a supervision software.
Robustness:
- The SaphyGATE G long lasting, robust steel feet and cabinet make it resistant for harsh environments.
