ADU2 Area Display Unit - Real-time Monitoring Display System

Product Specifications
The Thermo Scientific Area Display Unit
ADU2 is an easy-to-use, versatile local
display unit. Designed primarily
to provide large, easy-to-read, local
displayed data from an array of
instruments such as an integrated
Electronic Personal Dosimeter (EPD®), the
ADU2 can alternatively be configured to
display data from third party detectors,
and sensors.
ADU2
Area Display Unit—Real-time monitoring display system
Benefits
• Easy to read from up to 12 m (40 ft) away
• Easy set-up and configuration
• Supports multiple instruments and devices
• Visible alarm notification at the source
• Send messages to the sign for instant notification
through ViewPoint
• Sign will allow user to monitor many devices at once
• Can be configured locally or remotely via LAN or
WEB browser
• Devices can be up to 30 m (100 ft) away from sign
Applications
• Fixed Point monitoring
• Monitor filter pits
• Monitor demin pits
• Information displayed outside high radiation areas
• Information for inaccessible areas; confined space
• Information from instrumentation used for dive jobs
• Air sample Information displayed CAMS, AMS-4s
• Habitability monitoring
Whether connected to an EPD or to another
type of external detector such as continuous air monitors (CAMs) or electronic
dosimeters, the ADU2 provides a high
quality visual display, along with a
variety of intelligent control functions.
Configuration software is supplied
with each unit to allow for display
customization by the end user. The
capability of selecting display color,
alarm thresholds and histogram
configuration make this unit useful for
almost any health physics application.
The ADU2 is a powerful ALARA tool,
which can be integrated into the advanced
and reliable personal dosimetry system.
The new ADU2 is fully compatible with
Thermo’s Electronic Personal Dosimeter
(EPDs) and the ViewPoint software
monitoring system. Thermo Fisher Scientific
has lowered the cost of ownership by
allowing customers to use existing hardware and by designing the ADU2 to accept
data from other companies’ available personal dosimeters (MGP DMC 100s, 2000s,
AMP 100s etc). Data can be displayed
locally or integrated with the ViewPoint to
provide networkable coverage.
The ADU2 also incorporates a host of new
features most specifically, the ability to
have wireless added for transmitting data
to a remote monitoring station, and also
providing additional means to use the units
as a universal transmitter for many sensors
and instruments.

Real-Time Remote Portable Radiation Detection
The ADU2 is a sophisticated communication and data transmission unit for the primary purpose of ensuring reliable
data can be obtained from any external instrument.
The ADU will accept any input in RS232 ASCII or binary formats, or analogue inputs, from many measuring and indicating
devices. These features facilitate using ADU2s with industrial hygiene monitors, plant operations equipment, etc.
User-friendly initialization software allows the user to determine what part of the data string is to be displayed and for
analogue inputs, the mathmatical relationship between the input data and the displayed data (linear, logarithmic, etc.).
