NT200
Contamination and Clearance CheckPoint: Area
NT 2001
The NT200 is a small and easy to use smear test
instrument.
The compact design and low weight allows usage
on the location where the smear sample is taken.
A 50mm (1.97 in) lead shield and a separate bac-
kground detector allows measurements in increased
background environment.
The NT200 has three measurement modes:
Beta mode•
Beta and alpha mode•
Beta and automatic alpha (if any) mode•
High sensitivity•
This makes the instrument versatile and easy to
adapt to different tasks.
Housed in a compact and modular housing together
with an integrated ticket printer, it allows direct ope-
ration on the smear sample located in the controlled
area.

The NT200 calibration is done very easily with an automated procedure.The activity of the reference source, the measuring time and the step high voltage for the plates must be selected. The NT200 automatically selects the start and stop high voltage and computes the detector res­ponse curve which is displayed in real time on the screen.
