Small Items Monitor
The RADOS RTM690 of the CheckPoint:Waste™
family is a small items monitor in a conveyor design
for detection of gamma contaminated items.
The measurement chamber is equipped with gamma
plastic scintillation detectors. As an option it can be
equipped with an additional beta sensitive plastic
scintillation detector.
FEATURES
• High throughput
• Large surface gamma plastic scintillation detectors
• Option: beta plastic scintillation detector
• Automatic background subtraction
• Automatic speed control belt conveyor or roller
conveyor
The material to be measured such as helmets,
tools or any long items, is continuously transported
through the chamber. In case of contamination the
conveyor belt stops and rolls backwards.
The system is based on an industrial personal
computer. Extremely robust, real-time and multi-
tasking operating system QNX, designed for highest
performance in process control with an intuitive
graphical user interface for greatest ease
of use.

Overview of Features
Customer Benefits
Large surface plastic scintillation detectors for gamma radiation
• 4 gamma detectors
• option: 1 beta detector
Speed of conveyor belt is automatically adjusted in accordance with
background and alarm thresholds
• in case of contamination, conveyor rolls backwards
• when an item passes the measurement chamber, the conveyor slows
down for longer measuring time
• Background compensation using a unique method applying two median lters
• Display of activity results in cps, cpm, Bq and Bq/cm
2
• Service programme MOWIN for calibration and repeat tests
• Built-in service and test functions for conveyor hardware and detectors
• Real-time, multi-tasking operating system QNX
• Designed for performance in nuclear environments: painted mild steel housing,
easily decontaminated, easy maintenance
High throughput
• software on the basis of the proven real-time operating system QNX
in many generations of RADOS monitors
• low cost of operation and maintenance
Ability to network
• TCP/IP ability

RADOS small items monitors have been proven over many generations of RADOS
monitors. The RTM690 monitor of the CheckPoint:Waste™ family is ideally suited to comple-
ment whole body contamination monitoring at the exit points from controlled areas in nuclear
facilities with screening of small items such as helmets or tools
• with potential gamma contamination (beta as an option)
• with high throughput requirements.
The RTM690 is also very well suited for contamination monitoring of long items.
