Ronan Engineering X96S - Overview and Basic Concepts; Advantages

1
Overview
The X96S is a family of measurement products that is intended to replace the current X96N and X99 product families. These
products:
• use nuclear measurement techniques,
• support all features of the current X96N and X99 products,
• support up to 32 scintillation or ionization detectors,
• optional communication protocols,
• improved user interface options

,
• more user functionality, and
• more product flexibility.
Advantages
• Non-Contact Measurement
• Displays in Customer Units
• Most Applications can be solved with low-energy sources
• Not affected by:
-extreme temperatures
-caustic processes
-sterile processes
Gamma's Advantages
• Mounts external to the process (no components exposed to process material)
• Not affected by changing process conditions
• Does not make material radioactive
• Does not change the material
• Can be shielded by lead
X96S Advantages
• Multiple communication protocols (HART, FieldBus, DeltaV, ProfiBus, ModBus)
• Identical interface on local display as via HART
• Blind transmitter in detector on self contained design
• Custom configuration of display
• Surface, panel or rack mount available
• Field mountable
• Push button calibration
