The

Bladewerx

S

abreBPM™

is a

lightweight, battery-
powered, beta air
monitor that can be
used as a portable
workplace monitor or a
fixed CAM. Using
Bladewerx’ acclaimed
alpha peak-fitting
software for radon-
background
subtraction means

more accurate workplace measurement and
alarm indications.  Offered with or without a
gamma guard detector, it includes a self-
contained pump, built-in detector head, alarm
light, sonalert and battery operation, providing the
ultimate in beta air monitoring portability.  A solid-
state, ion-implanted, silicon detector and reliable
1024-channel multi-channel analyzer provide the
input for X-Scale processor board that performs
the alpha spectral analysis and beta
concentration determination.  An integrated 6-
LPM pump, lithium-ion battery complete the
package allowing battery operation of more than
eight hours
