FHT 1702 Iodine Monitor

Fixed iodine monitor with a NaI detector giving early, automatic warning of gaseous iodine activity, for air contamination monitoring and immission and emission measurements.

The FHT 1702 monitors gaseous iodine in air and reports the activity from the first measurement up to the current concentration. Depending on the application, it can detect the total iodine activity. The filter cartridge is exchanged manually.

The monitor is available as a fixed unit in the versions FHT1702S and FHT1702S-125 (for ¹²⁵I). A mobile version is also available.

  • Early, automatic warning of gaseous iodine activity virtually anywhere in the nuclear power plant
  • Excellent selectivity against other iodine isotopes or interfering noble gases
  • Background count rate measured in parallel with sampling in a second energy window (trapezoid method)
  • Aerosol filter heated air inlet for optimised iodine retention
  • Direct read-out in Bq/m³ and menu-driven calibration with a complete track record of efficiency data
  • For ambient air monitoring networks or stack emissions monitoring systems
