REX: frequently asked questions.

From magnesium to uranium.

From high parts per thousand to low parts per billion.

Up to 12 metals at once, depending on the X-ray source and filter installed, specifically designed and tested for the elements chosen by the end user.

Parts-per-billion measurements require 1 hour; parts-per-thousand or parts-per-million require 15 minutes.

Using the state-of-the-art detector, resolution is 120 eV FWHM for Fe-55.

Results are automatically emailed to a list of addresses specified by the customer.

Via Ethernet, WiFi, or satellite uplink (satellite is an extra charge).

Yes. REX comes standard with 7 process-control ports set to the industry-standard 4 to 20 mA output.

The end user can change the frequency of analysis, report delivery to over 10,000 email addresses, process-control thresholds, and the metals analyzed, all via our proprietary, simple GUI.

REX is designed to operate in flow conditions at 40 ml/min.

REX normally does not require filtration, but particulate size cannot exceed 5 microns. We supply a dual 5-micron filter manifold for installations where particulates are an issue.

REX comes with an inlet pressure regulator factory-set to 1.5 PSIG at 40 ml/minute of flow.

REX operates on standard line voltages of 110 to 220 Vdc at 20 A.

35 °F to 120 °F.

In its standard enclosure, REX is water-resistant to minor spray; the NEMA G4 enclosure is water-resistant to direct spray.

REX is vibration-dampened to 100 Hz but should not be installed in high-vibration environments.

48 pounds in the standard enclosure; 140 pounds in the NEMA G4 enclosure.

No. REX is designed for remote, in-situ placement at the site of concern.

We don't recommend moving your instrument from its initial installation site. If you must move it, contact our trained personnel for assistance.

Yes. No radiation-source leakage has been found beyond the REX enclosure when operated at full power of 25 KV at 1 mA. All major components are safety-interlocked to prevent tampering.

Check with your local health and safety office. Typically REX must be registered with local authorities the same way a dentist's office registers its X-ray systems, usually a single-page form stating the location of use.

The MTBF is 14,000 hours.

AMDS warrants the REX instrument for 1 year against defects in materials and manufacturing. Extended warranties are available from your servicing dealer.

Yes. Contact the sales representative you purchased your system from for more information.

All products sold by us are serviced by our highly trained technicians.
