DIGITAL RATEMETERS
The SATURN ratemeter is a compact acquisition and control unit, designed for managing and processing signals from the connected detector.

The SATURN ratemeter is available in 3 versions:
- SATURN I RTM-WM, designed to be wall mounted, by means of its supporting lugs
- SATURN I RTM, designed to be installed inside a 19” rack 2U
- SATURN II, alternative wall-mounting version designed to be compliant with “Good Manufacturing Practice” requirements: the ratemeter is installed inside a special housing that allows to fit also the detector (typically a GM-1 or a MERCURY GMP WR probe) when necessary, so that no external cable or connection is visible.
- Compatible with all ELSE NUCLEAR detectors
- High reliability
- Advanced user interface
- Data display on alphanumeric LCD screen
- Continuous management of data coming from the connected detector
- Internal archive of acquired data
- Luminous and acoustic signalling of good operation, alarm and prealarm conditions
- Interfaces available for data communication: Ethernet, serial RS232, RS485, RS422
- External keyboard for parameter settings
- Connectable to host PC with software for remote management
Additional Info
Main features:
- Only detector world-wide efficiently working in pulsed fields
- Modular electronics
- High sensitivity
- Fully customizable for specific requirements of particle accelerator facilities
- Energy range: from thermal up to 10 GeV
- Energy response closely resembles the ICRP74 conversion curve
- Unaffected by signal pile-up and so particularly suited for pulsed neutron fields
- Maximum H*(10) per burst in pulsed fields: 2 µSv
- Connectable to SATURN ratemeters
- Excellent gamma rejection (< 0.5 µSv/h at 50 mSv/h, 662 keV)
