The main purposes of the CROME project are:
- To provide an alternative solution to both ARCON and RAMSES monitors that is flexible, cost effective and that is designed and developed at CERN
- To guarantee the intellectual property ownership by using in-house talents and expertise and limiting dependency on a single supplier
The objectives of the CROME Project Production is to replace ARCON. The target figures are:
- Delivery of the first batch of series new monitors with associated alarm units and uninterruptible power supplies by the end of 2019 ready for installation on site as a scale test for final validation
- Delivery of 225 monitors :
- 100 in Bulk version
- 125 in Rack version
- Delivery of 31 rack chassis
- Delivery of 100 wall supports
- Delivery of 105 alarm units
- Delivery of 100 uninterruptible power supplies in wall version
- Delivery of 60 uninterruptible power supplies in rack version
- Delivery of 13 CROME junction boxes
- Delivery of 3 CROME Cases
- and ancillary equipment to be made available to the operation team for the effective replacement of the ARCON radiation protection chains during LS2
