Ronan XSD-1000 - Manual (Page 4)

Overview
The Ronan XSD-1000 Series Scrap Detectors are designed to be the most sensitive units
on the market. The units will self-calibrate to the background radiation during power up
and require little maintenance thereafter.
The picture above defines the major components of the Ronan XSD-1000 System:
Monitor Panel – This is the computer, display screen, touch panel, alarm relay, and
communications panel. The touch screen is for acknowledging alarms and performing a
System Verify function. Setup and options selection is via a keyboard and mouse and
requires key-lock access.
6-Wire Interconnect Cable – This cable supplies power and communications to the
Remote I/O modules, detectors, and photo-eyes.
Remote I/O Enclosure – This is a small NEMA 4 enclosure that houses the Remote I/O
modules. There is one module for each detector, and one or two digital modules for the
photo-eyes (depending on how many photo-eyes you have), and one or two relay output
modules for optional controls.
Scintillator Detectors – These are the large, crystal and electronics packages. They detect
nuclear radiation and report the results to the Scintillation Input Remote I/O modules.
