LUDLUM Model 3 General Purpose Ratemeter

GAUSS METER This general purpose, handheld analog ratemeter supports operating two separate radiation detectors. A switch allows the user to select between the internally mounted GM detector with an exposure range of 0–20 mSv/h (0–2000 mR/hr) or an external GM or scintillator detector of choice (see table below). 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 five-decade range and instrument shut-off, an audio on/off switch, a fast/slow response switch, a high voltage display button, and a battery test button.   The analog meter face comes in a variety of options to support the measurement units and ranges for the additional external detector selected. A one meter (39 in.) straight type detector cable with "C" style connector is included in the price of the instrument. The Ludlum Model 3 Survey Meter is the industry standard of radiation survey meters. The meter has a rugged design and microprocessor electronics. With proper care, the Ludlum Model 3 will last decades. It operates on two " D" cells for approximately 2000 hours. The Ludlum Model 3 has adjustable high voltage to 1500 volts and includes external calibration controls. The four counting ranges are x0.1, x1, x10, x100. ( Dual scale, mR/ hr & cpm available on special request.) Typical Counting Range is from 0 - 200 mR/ hr, or 0 - 500, 000 cpm. The Ludlum Model 3 is supplied as shown with built-in speaker, strain relief cable, probe clip-on handle, two " D" cell batteries and standard factory calibration. Model 44-3 or 44-2 gamma scintillator probes and many others can also be used with this meter.
