This general purpose, handheld analog ratemeter supports GM, proportional, and scintillation type detectors. The analog meter face comes in a variety of options to support the measurement units and ranges for the optional external detector selected.
The cast aluminum 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 four-decade range, instrument shut-off and battery test, an audio on/off switch, a fast/slow response switch, a high voltage display button, and a count reset button.
