As the ion chamber works in current mode, not pulse mode, this is synthesised from the radiation rate. [1], Referring to the accompanying ion-pair collection graph, it can be seen that in the ion chamber operating region the charge of a collected ion pair is effectively constant over a range of applied voltage, as due to its relatively low electric field strength the ion chamber does not have any multiplication effect. This drop in current triggers the alarm. for temperature and pressure and some other things at this stage.

These chambers also have the advantage of not requiring a vent and desiccant. This might be explained by the differences in the volumes of all chambers and also by the difference in wall material composition of PTW from the other chambers. Typically a pressure of 8-10 atmospheres can be used, and various noble gases are employed. "Guard rings" are generally used as a design feature on higher voltage tubes to reduce leakage through or along the surface of tube connection insulators, which can require a resistance in the order of 1013.[6].
