SFM1A Single Foot Alpha Monitor

  SFM1A Single Foot Alpha Monitor



Easy to use and maintain, the SFM1A foot monitor checks for radioactive contamination on the feet of personnel working at alpha-emitting radionuclide processing facilities. The monitor is compact, robust, and self-operating, making installation and operation convenient. The monitor's alpha scintillation detector is highly sensitive.

   Product Detail


  • Sensitive 560 cm2 scintillation probe
  • Autonomous - has no user controls
  • Assured foot positioning
  • Bright, clear user displays

The SFM1A is a single foot monitor for monitoring staff in plants where alpha-emitting radionuclides are processed.  Each monitor consists of an alpha scintillation detector with a ZnS(Ag) phosphor and thin radiation window protected by a robust grille, and electronics to generate the detector HV and to process the radiation signals.  Proper foot positioning is maintained by sensors which guide the user via a Recheck display light.  Additional lights are provided to indicate Ready, Monitoring, Clear, Alarm and Fault.

  • High sensitivity and uniformity
  • Long counting plateaus ensure excellent long-term stability
  • Good tolerance of high humidity
  • No loose cables
  • Easy to keep clean
  • Easy to decontaminate if necessary
  • Compact for installation at the workstation
  • Small independent hand and foot units offer greater flexibility in siting and let two users monitor simultaneously
