Page: 4 / 55

Overview

The X96S is a family of measurement products that is intended to replace the current X96N and X99
product families. These products:

•

use nuclear measurement techniques,

•

support all features of the current X96N and X99 products,

•

support up to 32 scintillation or ionization detectors,

•

optional HART interface,

•

improved user interface options

•

more user functionality, and

•

more product flexibility.

Advantages

•

Mounts External to Existing Vessels

•

Displays in Customer Units

•

Most Applications can be solved with low-energy sources

•

Not affected by:
-extreme temperatures
-caustic processes
-sterile processes

Gamma's Advantages

•

Mounts external to pipe or vessel (no components exposed to process material)

•

Passes through process material

•

Does not make material radioactive

•

Does not change the material

•

Can be shielded by lead

X96S Advantages

•

HART Communications

•

Identical interface on local display as via HART

•

Custom configuration of display

•

Surface, panel or rack mount available

•

Field mountable

•

Push button calibration

This includes the ability to have a simple or complex user interface, a remote user interface, or even no

user interface.
