Area Gamma MonitorGamma Dose Equivalent Rate Monitor — Standalone or RMS-Integrated
Compact area gamma dose-equivalent-rate monitor with integrated backlit display, two adjustable alarm levels, optical and audible indication, and Ethernet interface for direct RMS integration. Local data archive of at least 180 days. Suitable for indoor and outdoor deployment — vault corridors, hot-lab boundaries, theranostic wards, waste-storage areas and facility perimeters.
Key Features
- Measurement of gamma dose equivalent rate for area-monitoring applications
- Compact form factor with integrated backlit display — readable under typical clinical and industrial lighting
- Two adjustable alarm levels — each with optical and audible indication for local-warning use
- Function as either standalone autonomous monitor or part of the central RMS architecture
- Local data archive of at least 180 days — long enough to ride through routine site outages and document trends across a full quarter

Applications
The workhorse area gamma monitor — vault corridor to facility perimeter
Cyclotron vault entry / corridor
Continuous area gamma monitoring at the vault-entry interlock and along the access corridor. The 180-day archive documents the field across a full quarterly cyclotron-operation cycle for AERB inspection.
Hot-lab boundary
Area gamma monitor at the hot-lab clean-room boundary confirms that contained activity is not spilling into the corridor. The two alarm thresholds gate operator response — first level signals a check, second level triggers the area-evacuation procedure.
Theranostic ward — Lu-177 / I-131
Patient rooms with high-activity therapy patients produce a localised dose-rate field. Monitors in the ward corridor track the room-to-corridor field and document compliance with public-area dose limits.
Waste-storage area
Decay-store and active-waste store benefit from continuous area monitoring; the area monitor catches an unexpected dose-rate rise (typically a mislabelled vial or a damaged shielding container) before it becomes a contamination incident.
Facility perimeter
Outdoor area monitors at the facility perimeter document the public-area dose-rate consistent with the AERB facility licence. The Ethernet interface lets multiple perimeter monitors feed into the RMS server without intervening field hubs.
AERB inspection narrative
The 180-day local archive plus the RMS-server long-term trend produces an inspection-ready dose-rate record without requiring any reactive data-collection during the inspection visit.
Why Area Gamma Monitor?
Earlier-generation area gamma monitors connected via RS-485 — requiring an Ethernet bridge to reach the RMS server. The new generation has Ethernet as a direct interface, so the monitor connects to the building network without an additional translation device that becomes another point of failure.
A 180-day local archive ensures that even if the central RMS server is offline for an extended maintenance window, the dose-rate record is preserved on the unit itself. AERB inspection can read the local archive directly if needed; the dose-rate record is not held hostage by network availability.
Small sites or new-installation phases may not have the central RMS server deployed yet. The unit functions as a standalone monitor with on-board display, alarm thresholds and local archive. As the site grows into a full RMS architecture, the same monitor connects in without replacement.
