The Bladewerx SabreBPM² Portable Beta CAM is a lightweight, battery-powered, Alpha + Beta Particulate Monitor that can be used as a portable workplace monitor or a portable CAM for emergency-response assessments. It is designed to provide workers with an early warning of an airborne release of beta emitting particulates.
Using the acclaimed Bladewerx peak-fitting software for radon-background subtraction means more accurate workplace measurement and alarm indications. A self-contained pump, built-in detector head, alarm light, sonalert and battery operation, allow the ultimate in beta air monitoring portability. A solid-state, ion-implanted, silicon detector and reliable 1024-channel multichannel analyzer provide the input for an embedded processor board that performs beta detection and the alpha spectral analysis for radon background compensation and alpha-emitting transuranics. An integrated 7-LPM pump, lithium-ion battery and charging electronics complete the package allowing battery operation of more than eight hours. The SabreBPM² may be configured for either the measurement of special nuclear materials (SNM), or for radon progeny measurements of potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC) in milli-Working Level. Stack monitoring is possible with the In-Line Head Option. The In-Line Head Option can also be used for Iodine monitoring with carbon-impregnated filters.
