GO-27 NBC Recon Unit

GO-27 NBC Recon Unit, produced by PZ Signal enterprise, Obninsk, is used on AFVs for detection, permanent monitoring, signalling, and directly controlling the actuators of NBC pressurization system in conditions of major burst of gamma radiation following a nuclear explosion, continuous gamma radiation from radioactive contamination, and presense of dangerous checical compounds in the air.

The unit comprises:

• power unit
• sensor unit
• instrument panel
• cyclone (centrifugal dust collector)

The unit generates alerts by light and sound and automatically activates NBC pressurization system upon detection of the following events:

1. Burst of gamma radiation that generates the exposure dose exceeding predefined threshold (event "A").
   Reaction time no greater than 0.1 sec
2. Persistent gamma radiation from radioactive contamination, generating exposure dose of 0.85 R/h and more (event "R").
   Reaction time no greater than 10 sec
3. Detection of chemical substances in the air in quantities exceeding predefined threshold (event "O").
   Reaction time no greater than 40 sec

Limits of measured gamma radiation exposure dose	0.2 to 150 R/h
Maximum error of exposure dose measurement	not more than 30%
Power supply	27V DC
Consumed current	not more than 9A
Average service life	20 years
Average service time	10000 hours
Unit weight   including:   instrument panel B-1   sensor unit B-2   power unit B-3   cyclone	17 kg 3.8 kg 8.5 kg 4.7 kg 0.6 kg
