MIRA - GAMMA DOSE RATE MONITORING SYSTEM

MIRA is a highly versatile and very flexible gamma dose rate monitoring system that measures the ambient equivalent dose rate
H*(10). Due to its modular design it can be configured and used in different ways and thus covers manifold applications. It facilitates
both a gamma detector and a gamma monitoring station. MIRA can be used either for fixed or temporary installation or mobile
applications. A particular feature is its autonomous operation capability due to highly reduced power consumption. Thus, it can be
operated for many weeks with its integrated battery or for unlimited operation time with the integrated solar panel. Utilizing the
wireless data transmission technologies, MIRA can also be used as an autonomous monitoring station. In this case, data
communication between MIRA and the Monitoring Centre (NMC) uses either the GPRS/LTE service of cellular networks, a radio
communication link (RF) or the combination of both (cellular networks plus radio) where redundant or highly reliable communication is
required.
MIRA can be powered by 5 V DC, supplied for instance from a standard cell phone power unit or it can be operated autonomously with
its integrated battery or solar power system. For stationary application, MIRA can be easily fixed on a pole or a wall. In combination
with a tripod, MIRA works as a mobile monitoring station and can be quickly deployed in case of an emergency situation. For this use,
MIRA is available with an integrated GPS receiver that enables the automatic recognition of a new location after deployment.
The manifold data communication capabilities permit numerous operation possibilities and uses. LAN is the standard interface that can
be used for configuration, periodic test and data readout. For wireless remote data access, a version with integrated GPRS/LTE and/or
radio modems is available. Further interface options are RS232 or RS485
Another option is the maintenance-free rain sensor integrated on top of the detector housing. It supports differentiation of artificial
from natural wash-out peaks.
Two Geiger–Muller (GM) detectors provide a wide detection range from natural background up to >10 Sv/h. The high volume low dose
rate detector (LD) enables detection of minor changes in the radiation at background levels within short detection cycles. The second
detector (HD) is used for measurement of higher dose rates (>100 µSv/h). The hermetically sealed detector housing protects the
electronics and detectors from external conditions.
