Introduction

 

This general purpose, handheld analog ratemeter supports GM, proportional and scintillation type radiation detectors. The aluminum cast instrument housing with its separate battery compartment and accompanying metal handle offer an industrial robustness and quality that promote long lasting protection and instrument life. The front panel controls include a rotary switch for selecting the 4 decade range, instrument shut off and battery test, an audio on/off switch, a fast/slow response switch, a high voltage display button, a count reset button and a 3 position detector HV selector switch. The analog meter face comes in a variety of options to support the measurement units and ranges for the additional external detector selected. A 39" long straight type detector cable with "C" style connector is include in the price of the instrument.
