  2. CSP – smart probe based systems for workplace monitoring • CSP Canberra Smart Probes • Monitors for CSP family • CSP –COM communication modules • Review & Applications

  3. SMART PROBES SCALE New • Canberra smart probes (CSP) • Probe is 100% independent from Meter • All user parameters are set inside probe (alarm set points) • digital smart or « intelligent » probes • Probe is 90% independent from Meter • All user parameters, are set in read-out Meter SMARTNESS LEVEL • analogue smart probes • Probe is dependant of Meter • Probe remains Cable & Meter dependent • Dumb/conventional probes • Another age…

  4. Digital Smart or Intelligent Probes PROBE Serial link Digital readout CABLE • Detector • Preamplifier • Probe ID • Cal coefficients • HVPS • Amplifier • Discriminator • Signal processing • probe ID defines • readout unit • Alarm set points • Data logging • (historical data) SMARTNESS LEVEL

  5. Canberra Smart Probes (CSP) CSP Monitor Serial link CABLE • Detector • Preamplifier • Probe ID • Cal coefficients • HVPS • Amplifier • Discriminator • Signal processing • It’s a monitor! SMARTNESS LEVEL • additional: • Alarms setpoints are stored inside the probe • Stores 1000 data points

  6. Canberra • What is a Canberra SMART probe? • High Voltage Power Supply in Probe! • Hot plug on meter without powering down instrument • Measurement starts immediately without any necessary setup • Measurement is not cable quality dependent! • Calibration data in probe memory • Each probe is independent from meter • Each probe is separately calibrated • Meter remains available during probe calibration process • Probe includes • HVPS, Amplifier, discriminator(s) & signal processing • Calibration data and ID • Alarm set-points (10 for each unit to display) and default/last selection • Data Logging (up to 1000 points in probe memory!) • independant • CSP probe will function on it’s own • can be connected directly to PC or other interface

  12. Application Measurement Traceability • Measurement can now be associated to : • User : WHO ? • Probe that was used to take the measurement : HOW ? • Date stamp : Date and Time of measurement : WHEN ? • Location (GPS, Barcode, RFID, …) : WHERE ? • Measurement can be centralized immediately without paperwork – real time becomes a fact! No more logbooks ! GPS : measurement is associated with GPS coordinates Barcode : measurement is associated with barcode reader -> localization Entering user codes grants access to various functions depending on user profile User is identified!

  13. CSP-COM CSP-COM communication modules

  14. From CSP Philosophy to Remote Monitoring • Different CSP-COM modules for different applications : • Wireless : • Bluetooth : For cable replacement (compatible with Colibri & CSPS) • WiFi : For networking activity through a centralized system • RF 915MHz, RF 868MHz For networking activity through a centralized system long range – needs RF base stations • Wired for networking application : • RS 485 to re-use existing cabling • Ethernet for enhanced networking abilities • CSP COM modules • integrate a rechargeable Li-ion battery, with a 12V power input • are plugged on any CSP probe

  15. « Monitors » for CSP –COM modules Colibri with CSP-COM BT • Internal dose rate TTC detector • One external CSP via detector cable • Up to 7 CSP probes with CSP-COM BT • Simultaneous internal doseratemeterand monitor for those CSP probes in your application USB BT WiFi RF Ethernet RS485 RS485 Ethernet CSP-DLL for CSP-COM modules • external CSP probes can be connected via USB-hub, or networked via WiFi, RF,RS485 and Ethernet • Applications are … unlimited Detector cable WiFi / RF receiver CSP DLL

  16. CSP as basis for Remote Monitoring CSP COM Network CSP COM CSP COM CSP COM CSP COM CSP COM CSP COM • Colibri : the transition instrument, from wired to wireless • Allows remote monitoring in hot areas • Allows mapping with its GPS, Barcode reader and RFID capabilities • Inserts itself in an communication network : communicates with probes ; transmits measurement to a central system

  17. CSP-DLL Example

  18. CSP-COM Benefits • CSP COM are modules to improve communication between a CSP monitor and the CSP to : • Improve communication distance • Centralize measurements in one point • Multiplex communications • This brings me : • Easier manipulation by getting rid of the cable • Improved safety : Immediate reaction towards contamination or dose rate • Prevent human presence in high radiation areas • Spares time by allowing automatic data logging, and no mistakes in reporting
