Introduction

 

The Ludlum Model 9DP, pressurized ion chamber radiation meter, provides highly sensitive measurements of radiation exposure and radiation exposure rate. It can simultaneously display the exposure rate, integrated value and highest rate seen by the instrument. The integrated value can be reset (if desired) using one of the four convenient front panel mounted buttons.  The stunning 256 color, bit-mapped display provides an optimized presentation of the data and is accompanied with icons informing the user of the active functions and instrument status.  All logged data are written in csv format to a plugged-in industry standard USB thumb drive for convenient retrieval by a PC spreadsheet or database program. Alarms are manifested using color changes on the display and an acknowledgeable audio output. 
 

The 9DP is part of Ludlum’s new Dimension series of radiation meters employing state-of-the-art technologies that deliver enhanced performance, convenient connectivity and are easy to use.  Instrument users have access to personal preference type settings via a free Dimension PC Interface program.  Ludlum also sells a more powerful version of the Dimension Interface Program which additionally, sets administrator parameters and performs calibration.  The Dimension series offers a modern measurement and display system that is very user-friendly, powerful and links tightly with PC’s.

 

The Model 9DP can be used for a variety of medical and health physics applications and is ideal for measuring radiation exposure rates from leakage and scatter radiation around diagnostic and therapeutic x-ray rooms.   The unit is shipped calibrated and ready for use upon arrival at the customer’s site.
