First Isotope Identifier (RIID) Designed After ANSI 42.34
We are no strangers to innovation. The SAM Model 905 was the first radiation area monitor capable of isotope identification in real time. The Model 935 was the first indentifier that gave field operators the ability to move through areas without stopping. It is no longer necessary to send samples to the lab and wait for analysis. The Model 940 SAM is the first isotope identifier designed after the publication of ANSI 42.34 (American National Standard Performance Criteria for Hand-held Instruments for the Detection and Identification of Radionuclides). In conformance with ANSI 42.34 we have engineered a product to excel in performance and packaging.
Reachback Defender
For the first responder, this is the ideal software utility. ANSI compliant spectral reports are easily generated and downloadable for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reachback. An embedded version of this software utility is included.
Quantum Revealer
For advanced the most sophisticated users, the latest version of our quantitative analysis package, Quantum Revealer, will allow users of the SAM Revealer to perform a range of post-process analyses with unprecedented functionality. Geoplotting of radiological data, mapping and surveying of facilities or logging complex data can be performed in real time on a local PC or over a network. Advanced features like peak deconvolution, geometry modeling and multi-source comparisons are quickly addressed also by the Quantum Revealer operator.
Quickly determines location of materials and where to collect data for further analysis.
Continuously displays detected isotopes, class, and dose rate for multiple source Identification.
Color coded peaks that discriminate different and stored data at the touch of a finger.
Removable Compact Flash Card
The SAM Defender include a useful Compact Flash Memory (CF) to enable a range of operator and management tasks. For storage and transfer of data, CF Cards may be used to load updated ANSI Compliant data iles onto PCs or other peripherals. Upgrades to the operating system may also be emailed from the factory and loaded locally onto your CF Card for system updates. Custom Libraries, User Profiles and Management Protection can all be addressed with this versatile tool.
GPS Option
For applications which require time stamping and latitude/longitude information recorded with radiological measurements, a convenient GPS package is available for the SAM 940. The GPS package includes a commercially available, WAAS-enabled GPS device from the Garmin “Geko”* series. Applications for GPS related spectroscopic data range from topographical map developments and land reclamation to accident mitigation and perimeter monitoring. With the GPS package, the ANSI N42.42 compliant spectral reports will include coordinate information, with a typical position accuracy of 3 meters. Other software features include a 2-d map of collected measurements and position-based spectrum searches.
