ICS-4000 & ICS-4000e
R & D 100 Award Winning Technology
Comprised of a multi-channel analyzer coupled to a temperature compensated CZT radiation detector the ICS-4000 puts a complete gamma/x-ray spectroscopy system in the palm of your hand. The high resolution detector and analysis capability of its 4000 channel multi-channel analyzer make this instrument the ideal choice for a variety of health physics and nuclear safeguards applications. The ICS-4000 has adjustable gain, multiple ROIs, spectrum storage and upload, LCD graphic display, rechargeable batteries that provide 7 hours of continuous service, AC adapter/charger, and more. The ICS - 4000 displays recorded spectrum and the radiation field strength in your choice of units. With its high resolution spectra and built in isotope identification software, the ICS - 4000 can identify a wide range of isotopes automatically and simultaneously. Memory is provided for storage of measurement data. An RS-232 serial port allows upload of stored measurements to a PC for analysis and archiving. The ICS-4000e provides the same features and specifications, but incorporates a detachable detector and extension pole to allow measurements in hard to reach areas.
The ICS-4000 was released in the first quarter of 2001.
