Product Specifications The Thermo Scientific LFM-3 portal radiation detection system is an easy to set-up and use, multi-purpose gamma and X-ray detection system. Thermo Scientific LFM-3 Radiation Detection System Key Features • Robust, ruggedized detectors suitable for indoor or outdoor applications • Supplied with 200’ (60m) of cable for each detector, with a maxiumum capability up to 3,300’ (1000m) • High-performance system control unit with single button operation • Automated, natural background compensation system ready to operate within minutes of installation • Low, medium and high energy channels provide additional information about the type of radiation detected • Large, clear display screen and LEDs provide for easy interpretation of data Applications • Solid Waste Facilities • Transfer Stations • Waste to Energy Plants • Recycling facilities • Hospitals – Nuclear Medicine and Housekeeping • Healthcare and Research The Thermo Scientific LFM Series Radiation Monitoring System product family has long been considered to be the benchmark for radiation monitoring in the hospital and solid waste industry, with hundreds of installed units. The LFM-3 builds on the proven, familiar detector design of previous LFM models and combines this with new, state-ofthe-art electronics. The complete system consists of two shielded, 50.8 mm (2 in.) diameter, NaI (TI) scintillation detectors shock-mounted in separate weatherproof PVC housings. The LFM-3 Radiation Monitoring System is designed to maximize sensitivity to gamma radiation, with a minimum of nuisance alarms, at an affordable price. The system is perfect for monitoring materials bound for landfills, transfer stations and other waste processing facilities The detectors are constructed to withstand temperature extremes. They also have low mass housings to detect and discriminate low, medium, and high gamma energies. Cables connect the detectors to an easy-toread digital readout electronics package. Operating the system does not require intensive training or specialized knowledge.
