| dc.description.abstract | Mobile carrier radioactive source is a tool used to carry out testing for radiation characteristics. The testing process is done both in statically and dynamically conditions to conduct calibration on Radiation Portal Monitor according to the requirements of SNI IEC 62244-2016. The control module is designed to meet the following requirements, it can set a carrier speed of at least 8 km/h, it can adjust the height of the radioactive source between 1 m and 2.5 m, it has automatic forward and backward direction mode. Furthermore, the mobile carrier can be controlled remotely for personnel tester safety. The control module can stop the mobile carrier suddenly when an emergency occurs. The mobile carrier uses a portable power supply so that it can move freely and easily shifted. To meet these requirements, the driving power of carrier a motor of 24-volt dc with 250 watts. The radioactive source uses a driving power of 12-volt dc motor with minimum lift power of 5 kg. The control module designed uses a microcontroller with an android application-based interface that is connected by wireless. In the android application there are virtual numbers and input buttons to give commands to the control module. The application can also receive carrier speed information and height of the radioactive source. To break the power of driving motor of carrier and the driving power of the lifter of radioactive source, the mobile carrier uses two level relays, namely low current conductivity relays and relays with high current conductivity. Next in order to move forward and backward automatically, at each end of carrier is equipped with a limit switch. The button and top position barriers on the radioactive source lifter use a limit switch. | en_US |
