MS6020
Radiation and Contamination Multisonde Monitor.
The MS6020 is a very versatile multisonde monitor with a wide choice of sondes and accesories.
DISCONTINUED!
THE NEW MODEL ERIS2-M
REPLACES MS6020 MONITOR.
The MS6020 is one of the multipurpose monitors for detecting and measuring radioactivity more complete and versatile on the market due to its features, its wide range of detectors and accessories, as well as it is easy-to-use.
In order to adapt to any application, there is a complete set of contamination probes (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) and
radiation probes (Gamma, X-Rays, Beta) with different kind of detectors (Geiger-Müller, proportional, scintillation),
different measuring ranges and different energy ranges.
The way to change the probes is very easy. In the starting up, the MS6020 recognizes the probe and applies
automatically its parameters (calibration factors, alarm thresholds, etc.). Any change of the parameters
is stored into the probe, so the probes can be connected to any other MS6020 unit. The contamination
probes have a totally free library of 7 isotopes in which the user can set all the parameters.
Its calculus system does all the necessary mathematical operations for the conversion of the
events detected to the scientific unit (cps, cpm, Bq, Bq/cm2, or µSv/h, µSv) selected
by the user. In addition, it applies the correction of dead time typical of some detectors,
as well as the subtraction of background for the units of activity (Bq and Bq/cm²).
The MS6020 checks constantly the levels of alarm, the level of the battery, the
state of the probe, etc., warning immediately about any incident or anomaly.
The MS6020 allows to get different types of measures depending on the application. The
ratemeter mode has a dynamic constant of time, that is to say, the counting time is
fixed as long as the deviation does not overcome the 3-sigma value, in which case, an
automatic update of the measure will take place. This does that the measure is stable
but at the same time, the response of the equipment is very fast.
For measures which need long counting time or bigger accuracy (measures of smear,
calibrations, etc.), the instrument has a Counter-Timer in which the user can set the counting time.
Hold function captures the maximum of the measure. This function is very useful in applications in
which the duration of the field of radiation can be very short (milliseconds), such as, for example
in X-Rays shots, or in the detection of sources in movement.
Another interesting function is the Search function, which shows an analogical bar that is updated
very frequently, making easier to see on the display the existence of radioactivity, for example when
a sweep of a surface is done
The model with internal data memory allows to store the measures, including the date, hour, and
location or comment. The storing can be done manual or automatic, with adjustable times of sampling.
An easy-to-use software allows the data download and to store them in a PC.
A wide variety of optional accessories is available, that allow that the MS6020 adapts to different
applications. For example, the equipment and probe can be easily coupled on a telescopic and lightweight
pole, which has an articulated probe holder to achieve measures in places of difficult access. Besides,
they can be easily removed from the pole.
For the check-up of hands, clothes, etc, the equipment and the probes of great surface can
be easily coupled on wall holders, turning them into a fixed system. However, they keep the
advantages of portable equipment, since they can be easily removed to be able to do measures
in any other location. Other interesting accessories are the transport suitcases of different sizes.
