Chris, Palo Verde uses the iPAM-Tx only for personnel monitoring. The latching alarm and shake mode settings in the iPam themselves are not enabled here; however, we do use the latching rate alarm setting on the dosimeter itself (must be Version 2.8 or higher) , this is set at calibration and is verified via the Sentinel access control system. The default iPam settings that we use will translate alarms to the LEDs, vibration or shake feature and the audible alarms via the isoconnector.
Seth From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Courtenay, Christopher C Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 8:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Powernet: Telemetry / Remote Monitoring Duke Energy would like to know, for those using Mirion's iPAM-TRX, are the following features used and to what extent (area, personnel, all, etc): 1. Latched dose rate alarms (alarms last for 1-8 cycles) 2. "Shake" mode (my understanding is it's a sleep mode for longer battery life) Thanks!
