SATURN I, SATURN II
SATURN I SATURN II
ELSE NUCLEAR
Digital Ratemeters
The SATURN ratemeter is a compact acquisition and control unit, designed for managing and processing signals from any ELSE NUCLEAR connected detector.
The SATURN ratemeter is available in 3 versions:
- SATURN I RTM-WM: standard wall-mounted version
- SATURN I RTM: 19” 2U rack version
- SATURN II: wall-mounting version compliant with “Good Manufacturing Practice” requirements (no external cable or connectors)
All the ratemeter versions feature local function buttons with status LEDs, an internal acoustic buzzer and a relay connector, used to manage external alarm columns or interlocks.
The SATURN ratemeter continuously acquires and processes the data coming from the connected detector, and compares results with user-defined alarm thresholds.
Two user-selected measurements can be displayed at the same time on the display, such as instantaneous or average count rate, dose rate, activity concentration, counts, and dose or activity-integrated values.
The user interface is accessible through an external keyboard, which allows local interaction with the full range of parameters (the advanced setting is password-protected). Measurements, thresholds and operating parameters are stored in an internal, non-volatile memory.
The ratemeter can communicate to and be remotely managed by a host PC through an Ethernet or RS485 network.
