Compact Hand & Foot Monitor

• cHFM™ is a small-footprint, H&F or small article monitor

• Highly configurable—supporting up to 4 detector channels

• Supports gas proportional, air proportional or scintillation probes.

• Exceptional ease of use with integrated touch-screen

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 4

• cHFM design incorporates three new Bladewerx-designed PC boards– SDB. A “simple detector board”– 4CHAN. 4-Channel counter board– PES. Photo electric sensor

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 5

Simple Detector Board• Microprocessor-based

detector board• 100 – 2000 VDC high

voltage supply (3000 VDC optional)

• 3 Thresholds (beta, alpha, & upper alpha (i.e. radon)

• ASCII command-based communications

• No internal adjustments

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 6

4-Channel Board• Microprocessor-based

counter board• Supports digital count

inputs from up to 4 SDBs

• SDB ‘pass-thru’ communications

• ASCII-based commands

• Support for hand/foot PES sensors and switch closure

• Selectable ‘clicker’ speaker drive

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 7

PES

• Infra-red (IR) proximity sensor• Pulsed frequency output• Low power

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 8

Four more building blocks

• Customer-driven development for a UAV sampler– In-Line head featuring dual detectors (alpha-beta,

and gamma guard)– New 2-channel preamp board– 2-Channel amplifier/detector board– Redesigned SabreMCA with 2-Channel detector

board interconnect fits SabreMCA extrusion

EpeéCAM™

• SabreBZM™ is nearing end of life• Electronic Personal (EP) CAM/BZM goals– Smaller and lighter than SabreBZM– More rugged and reliable– Support beta measurement– More ergonomic (multiple mounting/carrying

options)– More suited to mass production

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 11

Features– Alpha/beta measurement– Radon mode option– With integrated ‘sans-

plumbing’ head, or umbilical

– Wireless capability or Ethernet

– Voice Output– Variable speed 6 LPM high-

reliability pump– Extremely simple user

interface

Epee Board Set

• 2-board set includes:– 2-channel analog and audio output “A” board– microprocessor-based digital logic “B” board

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 13

“A” Board

• Alpha and beta channels, plus detector bias supply

• Peak-Hold ADC front end • Anti-coincidence logic• No internal controls. All settings are software-

controlled.• Audio amplifier

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 14

“B” Board

• Direct integration with SBC Board bus• USB Host and Client ports• LED and membrane keypad support• Pump control and flow sensing• On-board Ethernet support

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 15

Air Sampling Features

• Quiet, SKC High-Reliability Pump

• Up to 6 LPM sampling rate (variable rate is customer settable)

• ‘Hose-less’ sampling head

• Can be ordered with BZM umbilical, or integrated head for miners

2012 HPIC Bladewerx Developments 16

Summary

• 8 new electronics boards• 2 entirely new instruments• 2 new sampling head designs• NQA-1-based QA Program implemented

Also…• Produced 4 training videos• Completed assorted other development work
