Function and system design

System design A measuring point with the Gamma Modulator FHG65 consists of the following components:

• Gamma Modulator FHG65

• Gammapilot FMG50 or Gammapilot M FMG60

• Source container FQG61 or FQG62

• Radiation source 137Cs or 60Co (installed in the source container)

• If multiple Gamma Modulators are used or for diagnostic purposes: Synchronizer FHG66

System requirements System requirements of FMG50

All versions of the Gammapilot FMG50 can evaluate the signal generated by the Gamma Modulator

FHG65

Gamma Modulator FHG65 Synchronizer FHG66

System requirements of FMG60

To be able to evaluate the signal generated by the Gamma Modulator FHG65, the Gammapilot M

FMG60 must be equipped with the following software at least:

• HART electronics

• For SIL devices with short point level detectors (200 mm and 400 mm): SW 01.02.02 or higher

• For all other devices: SW 01.03.02 or higher

• PROFIBUS PA electronics

SW 01.03.02 or higher

• FOUNDATION Fieldbus electronics

SW 01.03.02 or higher

Gamma Modulator FHG65 In a radiometric measuring point, the Gamma Modulator FHG65 is mounted in front of the beam

exit channel of the source container. It contains a shaft slotted along the longitudinal axis. This shaft

rotates continuously and alternately screens off, or allows through, the useful beam at a frequency of

1 Hz. Due to this frequency, the useful beam differs from fluctuating ambient interference radiation

and from interference radiation occurring sporadically (e.g. from nondestructive material testing).

Using a frequency filter, the FMG50 or FMG60 can thus separate the useful signal from interference

radiation. In this way, it is possible to continue measuring even if interference radiation occurs. This

significantly increases the measuring certainty and system availability.

The Gamma Modulator FHG65 and the Gammapilot FMG50/FMG60 are not interconnected

electrically. When adjusting the FMG50/FMG60, the "beam type" parameter must be set to

"modulated".

Synchronizer FHG66 In a measuring point with multiple radiation sources, a Gamma Modulator FHG65 must be mounted

on every source container. The Synchronizer FHG66 synchronizes the individual modulators to

common mode. A Synchronizer FHG66 can synchronize up to three Gamma Modulators FHG65. (For

more than three modulators, see the "Cascading multiple Synchronizers FHG66" section). In addition,

the synchronizer offers a straightforward diagnostic solution for the connected Modulators FHG65,

which is beneficial when only one Modulator FHG65 is in operation.

It is recommended to install the switch for the supply voltage near the device and to mark it as

a disconnector for the device.

Use of the Synchronizer FHG66, and particularly of its alarm output, is recommended for

minimum point level detection, as an undetected failure of the Modulator FHG65 may result in

faulty switching behavior

Cascading multiple

Synchronizers FHG66

If more than three radiation sources are used, the synchronization chain must be extended by

cascading: here, an additional synchronizer (3) is connected to one of the outputs of the

synchronizer (2) instead of a modulator. All connected Gamma Modulators then operate in common

with one another.

Alarm output

The Gamma Modulator FHG65 does not have an alarm output of its own. Operating errors are

reported as follows:

•If a Synchronizer FHG66 is connected: The FHG65 reports the error to the FHG66 via the

synchronization input. The alarm relay of the FHG66 reports the error.

•If a Synchronizer FHG66 is not connected: The FHG65 switches off its motor completely in the

event of an error. This reduces the current consumption to less than 30 mA. This can be detected

by an external current monitor (e.g. Dold IK9076.11)

Installation requirements General installation conditions

The Gamma Modulator FHG65 is mounted directly on the mounting flange of the source container

FQG61 or FQG62. 1)

LCAUTION

‣As the beam exit channel is not located in the middle of the source container, it is absolutely

essential to ensure the device is oriented correctly when mounting. The arrow on the mounting

plate of the Gamma Modulator must point in the direction of the transporting lug of the source

container. Measurement is not possible otherwise.

A0018532

• The source container with the Gamma Modulator must be mounted as close as possible to the tank

or measuring tube

• The unit must be mounted on a low-vibration construction

• Fasten with at least 4 M16 threaded bolts; torque:

• Steel: 210 Nm (154.88 lbf ft)

• Stainless steel: 144 Nm (106.20 lbf ft)

• When mounting, consider the total weight consisting of the source container and the Gamma

Modulator FHG65. Ensure sufficient stability is guaranteed. Provide an additional support if

necessary

• After mounting, measure the local dose rate in the vicinity of the source container and the Gamma

Modulator. Cordon off any controlled areas, see also TI00435F (FQG61/FQG62)

• The use of the modulator reduces the effectively useful horizontal angle of the beam path from 6 °

to approx. 2 °. Check that the detector is completely covered by the radiation beam!

Mounting multiple Gamma Modulators FHG65

If multiple Gamma Modulators FHG65 are used in a measuring point, they must operate

synchronously. The Synchronizer FHG66 is used for this purpose.

The synchronization requires that all the Gamma Modulators FHG65 be aligned in the same

way. A mark is provided at the top of the Gamma Modulator FHG65 to align the units. This

mark must be aligned in the same way relative to the source container on all the Gamma

Modulators FHG65 used.
