S900: Powerful setup software for your UltraRadiac
Description
S900 brings security and flexibility to CANBERRAs
UltraRadiac. It helps users set up a large quantity of
instruments without using the keypad. Connection to
a PC is achieved with the Infrared-to-Serial (IR)
adapter. Thus, the user only has to
position the UltraRadiacs IR cells
facing the IR adapter to allow
wireless communication (no need to
remove the instrument pouch). S900
is available for the roentgen and
sievert versions of the UltraRadiac.

Security
S900 can lock-out the Alarm Setting
by the operator using the UltraRadiac
keypad. This guarantees that all
workers will use predefined alarm
