GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The “AreaExpert” Area Radiation Monitor is a device designed for continuously measuring,

logging and reporting of ionized radiation doses in areas with ionized radiation.

The device is capable of measuring ionized radiation within the range of 0-1 R/h with ±10%

accuracy. It has a 7" (inch) user friendly color touchscreen.

With the wall-mount option, the device is easy to track and program with its color

touchscreen and has many superior qualities. The device is designed by combining an

energy compensated GM detector, dedicated electronic circuitry and embedded computer

hardware and software.

The device's internal rechargeable battery prevents potential data loss in cases of power

outages. The device can operate for approximately 1 hour depending on the status of the

battery.

6 December 14

CAPINTEC, INC. AreaExpert

The green, yellow and red LEDs on the front panel provide information about the device's

operational status and the ionized radiation dose levels in the area.

A 220V, 2A relay output allowing an external alarming device connection is available at the

bottom of the device. USB and Ethernet connectors for data transfer are located next to the

alarm relay socket.

The high and low alarm levels, the dose unit (mR/h or µSv/h), date and time settings and

Turkish and English language options can be selected by the user.

Hourly, daily and monthly histograms can be viewed on the touchscreen by choosing the

relevant time frame. This information can be transferred to any data storage device over the

USB connection.

It is possible to connect multiple area monitors over one network, monitor the current

measurement value of each area monitor and receive related reports through a PC

(optional).

When desired, it is also possible to track area monitors placed in a company's headquarters

located in different towns, cities or countries over the web by using the CenterExpert network

software.

DEVICE ACTIVATION

Place the power switch to the ON ( I) position.

Approximately one minute after powering-on, the device will be ready for the

measurement. 0.00mR/h will be displayed on the screen.

During power-up, if the power cord is plugged in, the green LED will blink in short

intervals and then switch to steady-on. A steady-on LED indicates that the device is

connected to the line and the battery is being charged.
