FHT 6020 Area Monitor

Fixed area monitor for gamma and neutron radiation with up to 16 measurement channels and audible and visual alarms, for stand-alone or networked operation.

The FHT 6020 is a fixed radiation monitor for permanent use in nuclear facilities and environmental monitoring networks. It detects and assesses gamma and neutron radiation, and all channels are measured simultaneously and can trigger audible and visual alarms. Detectors that can be connected include the FHZ 632L-10 gamma probe and the FHT 762 WENDI-2 neutron detector.

The monitor is configured from a PC via the serial interface with the Windows program FHT 6020.exe. Several units and other equipment can be networked with Thermo Scientific NETVIEW or ViewPoint.

  • Local display of measurements with up to 16 intelligent dose rate probes or amplifiers, all channels measured simultaneously
  • Up to 2 probes of the FH 40 G range, with measurement memory – mixed operation with intelligent probes is possible
  • Optional FHT 6025 local audible and visible alarm module
  • RS-232 for a local PC and RS-485 for measuring networks, with cable lengths of up to 1000 m
  • Built-in solid-state relays control local alarm devices or locks; digital inputs monitor conditions such as open/closed or occupied/free
  • Firmware in flash EPROM that can be updated on site
