APS-U Radiation Monitor Spec Sheet.xlsx

This is a specifications sheet for an Area Radiation Monitor (ARM) system required by Argonne National Laboratory's Advanced Photon Source (APS) facility. The specification document outlines mechanical, electrical, and operational requirements that vendors must meet, categorized as preferred, acceptable, or required capabilities. The single detector unit must not exceed the dimensions of an ADM-610 model, with total configuration specifications of 11 inches wide by 16 inches high by 8 inches deep, including hardware for interlock interface, local audio indicator, light stack, and test button. Weight constraints specify less than 30 pounds per detector and less than 100 pounds for the total configuration. The enclosure must meet NEMA 12 or IP 54 standards minimum, include physical security with a built-in key lock, and operate on 120 VAC ±5%/-10% at 60 Hz through a DC source with wall outlet adapter that is NRTL listed.

This specification sheet is paired with a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Department of Energy Office of Science through UChicago Argonne, LLC, seeking vendor information for procuring, maintaining, and supporting a system of approximately 50 area radiation monitors for the APS facility. The current ARM system is nearing end-of-life, and each unit must interface with a control system to monitor signal output, current readbacks, and limit trips to enable appropriate facility control responses. Vendors with aligned capabilities must submit responses to sections 1-6 of the "ANL-651 RFI for APS ARMs" document and complete the vendor capability column on this specification sheet by March 3, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST to mollyhunter@anl.gov. This is a pre-solicitation RFI for planning and informational purposes only and does not commit ANL to any payment or procurement action.
