Radiation protection systems go wireless

January 2018 IS & Ex

Omniflex has announced the release of the Teleterm W3 ISA100 Wireless Interface Node. Based on well proven technology and substantiated by the nuclear industry, the Teleterm W3 is the latest device to join the expanding range of products designed to provide a convenient means to network all types of radiation monitors over a secure ISA100 wireless network.

Omniflex has combined all of the required features in a standard COTS product with built-in support for a wide range of instruments including Lab Impex/Ultra Electronics and Canberra monitors. Simply attach the W3 to the radiation monitor via the RS-485 serial port and within minutes the W3 will be ready to transmit readings and alarms wirelessly to a radiological surveillance or scada system. Other features and benefits include:

• Network all radiation monitors over a secure ISA100 wireless network.

• Up to 500 devices on the network.

• Built-in support for a wide range of monitor makes and types (old and new).

• Compact design to fit alongside monitor.

• LED indication of communication status.

• 9-30 V DC powered (12 V supplied from the monitors).

• IP55 protected housing.
