Patented “Stand By” position

When the camera is not in use, it automatically goes to

parking position (facing the rear module).

- Camera module is less exposed to radiation

- Lens is protected from contamination

Excellent imaging + PTZ

With ICM 2009 you detect and identify problems early, thanks to

excellent imaging and the built in PAN-Tilt-Zoom function.

Pan 360°

Tilt 180°

Superb imaging and reliability can make the difference, whether

you can continue, reduce or stop production.

The many innovations include

- A new patented camera body

- An effective cooling system

- Heavy reinforced electronics

- Self supervised camera

New camera body - suppressing

neutron and gamma rays

2 independent cooling systems with heat pipes

- Front part with camera module and CCD-sensor

- Rear part with control logic

Why is a cooling system essential?

- Low thermal noise due to cooled CCD gives much better picture quality

- Prolonged lifetime of camera module and control electronics

- Low contamination of camera module and control logicThe cooling system is designed to withstand high temperature for many years and,

thanks to external coolers, there is no internal air circulation.

Monitor with precision – reduce insecurity!

Now it’s possible to inspect a “faulty” component in

detail. Thanks to colour imaging with extra crystal-clear

definition, light-sensitive optics and effective zoom, this

is no longer a problem. Reference – PWR Ringhals 3 / Sweden

Long lifetime of camera module

- Estimated service interval 2-4 years

Camera installed in containment building, view of remote-

controlled valve on steam pipeThis position – of a total of 19 in containment at Forsmark 3 – is

the most damaging position, due to temperature and intense

level of radioactivity.

Superior radiation resistance – few “hot spots”Small white dots (hot spots) represent pixels permanently damaged due to radiation.

How does radiation affect a standard camera?

Picture taken after 9 months. Small dots represent permanently

damaged pixels. Iris closed, maximum gain 26 dB.


How is the camera used?

Prevention - Monitoring - Confirmation - Testing - TrainingExamples of what our clients use ICM for during process:

- Searching for smoke and open fire

- Searching for sources of steam leakage (where, size of leakage, and tracking incident)

- Searching for sources oil leakage (and oil wettings)

- Visual confirmation of executed order(s) e.g., closing/opening valves and other equipment

- Viewing manometers

ICM2009 installations in low-radiation areas have drastically reduced the need for physical

inspection rounds.

High-quality imaging and reliabilityIn case of an incident, with the aid of good camera images and PTZ, you can take correct

action e.g.,

- Reduce power instead of closing down the process

- Documentation of the process minute-by-minute (as in ISEC’s AVISS system)

- In case of failure of fire detector, production can continue with constant camera monitoring

(may vary from country to country)

Testing tube circuits, valves and pipelinesICM together with audio monitoring (optional) aids regular testing of reactor tube circuits.

Are valves, pipelines and other circuit equipment functioning correctly?

Training new personnelThanks to the functionality with PTZ, powerful zoom (optic x26) and light-sensitive optics, ICM

is an excellent tool for presentation of every corner of the normally closed area, at any time.

Often also used to update old knowledge.

Outage and refuellingDuring refuelling, the manoeuvre is monitored.

Water levels of pools are monitored.

Information - In Swedish NPPs

there are 15-20 ICM cameras

installed per reactor.


Few spare parts - High availability

ICM is designed with a minimum of spare parts

• Camera module with CCD sensor and lens, Quick release

• Control electronics / logic, Quick release

• Cooling fans, 2pcs. Fixation with 4 screws.

• Halogen bulbs, 1x wide & 1x spot, x35W, Quick release.

Less contaminated waste - Environmentally friendly

Innovative design means fewer spare part that can be

contaminated, such as cooling fans and halogen bulbs. The camera

body, with its smooth outer body, is easily cleaned with a damp

cloth.

Intelligent camera - collecting statics

ICM logs and stores all important camera activities on-site.

All data are retrievable and will give important information from

each installed camera position.

Our Services

ISEC provides many unique services including yearly evaluation

of installed systems. This service gives our clients optimal long-

term availability and is unbeaten on the market.

ISEC’s goal is to provide incomparable audiovisual value 4/7/365.

– Our systems deliver!

Audio gives even higher security

Our audio customers say: “With both

image and sound presented at the same

time, we make better decisions in critical

situations. The human ear is a fantastic

instrument for detecting abnormalities”.

Operators often activate the microphone

to get audio confirmation when operating

valves and other “noisy” units.

NB! Audio registration is optional and requires an

extra 2-pair wire to the camera.


Service connector and PC softwareWith RS-232 communication and a special Windows test

program, it’s easy to do a full check.

Service keyboard includedOn the control logic there is a “service keyboard” for local

testing of different functions. So, even without a connected

control system, it’s possible to test any camera function.

Control logic

Service aspects are important – the ideal camera?Since 2004, the ICM camera has been developed in close collaboration with

nuclear power plants. We have made the camera exceptionally service friendly.

• Change all modules using rubber gloves and only 2 tools.

• Quick change of camera module and control logic – less than 5 minutes.

Service manualThe standard manual is in English. For multi- camera

installations we supply in local language versions.

“Plug & Play” for existing installations

The ICM 2009 is often integrated with existing video systems

and, in most cases, you can use already installed cables,

brackets and cable connectors. ISEC delivers a custom-adapted

camera that gives the NPP an upgrade with minimum of change

to existing hardware and documentation.

Several RS-485 protocols from 3rd-party suppliers of video systems are

already supported for camera control. If “your” protocol is not on the

list, ISEC has the know-how to do an integration.

ICM can be installed camera-by-camera in existing video systems or

to AVISS – ISEC’s most advanced system for process control in NPP.
