Ludlum Measurements, Inc.  Ludlum Model 78

  Stretch Scope Radiation Survey Meter

 

 Introduction

 

Ludlum Model 78 Stretch Scope Radiation Meter●  4-12 ft Telescoping Stainless Steel Pole

●  High-Activity Gamma Radiation Survey

●  0.1 mR/hr to 1000 R/hr

●  Dual Analog/Digital Display

●  Two Energy Compensated GM Detectors

 

The Ludlum Model 78 Stretch Scope telescoping gamma radiation survey meter keeps the user at a safe distance from high radiation areas, and reaches areas that are difficult to access with other probes. The wide 0.1 mR/hr to 1000 R/hr detection range is accomplished using dual energy-compensated GM detectors. The backlit digital LCD delivers precise 4-digit measurement values, which can be programmed to display units of R or Counts, and is accompanied by icons and messages for operational status of the instrument. Rate changes are conveniently viewed on the accompanying analog meter. The front-panel controls include separate switches for On/Off, Audio, mR/hr & R/hr range selection, Fast/Slow response, and LCD backlight.
