ICTD Model 9-4 Ion Chamber Training

ICTD Features:

• Simulates all features and functions of the Ludlum Model 9-4 Ion Chamber
• Built with real Model 9-4 hardware
• Provides all device controls and beta window
• Responds realistically to changes in dose rate
• Supports all fault conditions
• Designed for manual or automatic dose rate input

Train Your Radworkers To:

• Respond to dose rates based on distance to one or more TWR “Live” Sources
• Understand 1/R2 principle
• Hear audible click rate as radiation levels change
• Operate all device controls
• Adjust mR/h rate scales
• Observe open and closed window response
• Recognize device faults and failures

• NO calibration or setup required

Range of Operation 100 ft. line of sight. Depending upon material composition, obstructions may reduce operational distance. (For both manual and auto dose rate input)
Control Options

• Automatically responds to any SIM-Teq TWR Source (omni-directional)
• Manual control via Simulation Control Center (SCC) application available from Windows Store, runs on Windows 10® tablet with SIM-Teq USB Dongle.
• Manual control of dose rate input
• Configurable Open/Close Beta Window measurement offset
• Continuous display of current measurement from training meter
• Swap between manual control and auto-response to simulated source
• Up to 8 training meters independently auto-respond to up to 8 TWR Sources

The SIM-TeqTM System is a wireless training network of simulated dosimeters, survey meters, and TWR Sources managed and controlled by the Simulation Control Center (SCC) application.

SIM-Teq Features

• Easy to setup.
• SCC application operates on any Windows 10® tablet with a USB Dongle and up to 32 simulator training devices
• Wireless direct control of devices through SCC or automatic response of devices to TWR “live”sources.
• Multiple models supported. Future training devices seamlessly added.
• Free SCC software updates provided via Microsoft Windows Store
