Robust and Portable Hand-Foot-Clothing Monitor with Touch-Screen Display
The HFC-8 is a compact hand, foot, and clothing monitor to measure personnel leaving controlled areas. With a removable probe and spring-loaded hand detectors, the HFC-8 has been developed for portability between different areas. Featuring a detector arrangement to measure the hands and feet in one measurement step, the HFC-8 integrates the latest technology and design, while meeting official standards.
Various detector options are available, including:
- Beta detectors (plastic scintillator)
- Beta-Gamma detectors (plastic scintillator)
- Alpha/Beta detectors (plastic scintillator or gas-flow proportional)
The standard unit consists of:
- 8 detectors with semiconductor readout, one of them as removable hand probe
- Robust stainless-steel housing
- Ergonomic detector positioning
- Integrated 12 in. touch-screen display
- Fully automated measurement process with audiovisual operator guidance
- Latest industry controller technology
- Power provided by UPS for several measurements during mains power outage
