1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF MANUAL
This manual is esigne to enable operating an service personnel to properly operate an care
for the BM-185D/285D/286D. Since applications are necessarily site-specific, operation
proce ures are given in general terms. Service an repair are covere to the boar level.
1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TSA's Barrel Monitor, Mo el BM-185D/285D/286D, is a large barrel monitoring evice,
esigne to screen bulky items of up to 1,000 poun s (454kg) for ra ioactive contamination. It
uses six plastic scintillation etectors, one on each si e of the chamber. An optional so ium
io i e scintillation etector can be provi e for spectral monitoring.
Operation of the instrument is controlle from a touch screen LCD monitor or optionally using
an external computer keyboar . All access is controlle by user-assigne passwor protection. A
printer can be connecte for report printing or the printing of container ata labels.
The instrument performs a self-test an acquires a new backgroun count each time it is powere
up. It also monitors its own operation uring normal use an in icates any failures. It runs
continuously, up ating backgroun s whenever no weight is etecte insi e the chamber. A new
count is initiate every time a oor open/ oor close sequence is etecte .
The BM-185D/285D/286D isplays the total activity, scale to appropriate units (µCi, nCi, etc.)
an specific activity in pCi/gram or nCi/gram. These units are also inclu e in reports an ata
sample information that are create by the unit.
The unit operates on 100-240Vac, 50-60Hz power with circuit breaker protection.
