 | Enjoy flexibility. By utilizing latest sensor technology and object
oriented approach in its design the PMA2100 will support virtually any sensor that
generates up to 4 analog signals. The detector setup and algorithms are encapsulated in
the detector. |
| Secure your investment. Choose a meter that will serve you for years to
come. Add new sensors as you need them. If an
application requires special features the PMA2100 can be easily upgraded simply by loading
new software from the PC. |
| Safeguard your data. The data collected by the PMA2100 are stored in a
non-volatile memory that retains its contents for years. |
| Stay in control of your measurements. There is much more to an accurate
measurement than just recording its result. Along with the measured value the PMA2100
will automatically store or print other critical data including the sensor's serial number
and calibration due date. |
| Don't change your habits. Instead tell the meter to display the results
your way. The PMA2100's sensors are smart enough to remember the last configuration,
including the units and values of alarm thresholds. |
| Variety of detectors available. Many
standard detectors are available off the shelf. Due to its novel features the PMA2100
allows us to interface custom detectors quickly and inexpensively. |
| Ease of use. The PMA2100 automatically configures itself for the new
sensor when connected. No more entering programs and calibration factors. The detector
setup and algorithms are encapsulated in the detector. The detector is ready to
use out of the box. |
| Portability. The PMA2100 with its powerful features easily fits into
the palm of your hand. Up to 2 detectors can be connected simultaneously via a 1ft/5ft
retractable cable enabling measurements in difficult to reach places. Rechargeable
batteries allow for 30 hours of continuous operation. |
| Data logging. Up to 1024 data records can be stored in the internal
non-volatile memory. The storage can be triggered manually or automatically in a user-set
interval (1 minute-2 hours). Uniform record structure for all detectors simplifies data
management. |
| Traceability. Each data sample is accompanied by a set of auxiliary
information such as: date, time, detector type and serial number, currently used units,
user set scale factor, detector calibration due date and a set of flags indicating the
state of the meter. This encourages an implementation of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)
and eases interfacing to Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). |
| Noise immunity. The signal amplification is done inside the detector
encapsulated in a metal enclosure. The signal is delivered to the PMA2100 through a
shielded cable offering high immunity to EMI and ESD. |
| Automatic unit conversion. The measurement result can be displayed in
one of many units customary for the particular measurement. A push of a button changes the
unit selection. Custom units and conversion algorithms can be programmed to the detector
on request. |
| Dose integration. A dose integration can be started from the keypad or
remotely. |
| Computer interface. Connection to a PC through a serial interface
(RS232) enables transfer of collected data. PMA Organizer, a Windows-based software
facilitates data retrieval, archiving and presentation. |
| User defined alarms. An independent alarm can be set for the
instantaneous value or integrated dose for each detector. The alarm settings are stored in
the detector and automatically recalled when the detector is in use. |
| Isolated Digital Input/Output. A process can be controlled by the
PMA2100 through the optically isolated digital I/O. The inputs can start or stop the dose
collection while the outputs are triggered by the dose and value alarms.
Controlling the
dose of radiation to a subject is one possible application. Power relay is available as an
accessory.
