The Model 4500 connects via a serial interface to an external PC, which provides control over the setup, time-temperature profiles (TTPs), analysis and data recording. A start button and four indicator lights control and monitor the operation.
- Manual and system operations: manual (load dosimeter, select group file, define setup, define acquisition parameters, enter dosimeter identity, start readout), system (apply TTP, associate light output with dosimeter identity, store result, index to second element-pair)
- Dual photomultiplier tubes and associated electronics enable it to read cards in two positions simultaneously
- Card identification by keyboard entry or external bar code scanner
- Reads 2-, 3-, or 4-element cards and extremity carrier cards using hot gas heating
- Reads single TLD chips, rods or powders using contact planchet heating
- Reads card elements in pairs; the pairs of a 4-element card are sequenced automatically
- Interfaces with WinREMS and software options such as Dose Algorithms, Glow Curve Analyzer, Chain-of-Custody and Health Physics Records System
- Easy to integrate into existing TLD systems with minimum additional training
- System hardware and software expansions can be transparent to the user, and maximize the utility of purchased items
- External PC can be used for other applications
- Capacity to improve system performance as PC upgrades become available
- All PC functions are external to the reader
- Minimum initial reader investment
