Detector
Internal Halogen-quenched, uncompensated GM tube with thin mica window, 1.4-2.0 mg/cm2 areal density.
Eecve diameter of window is 45 mm (1.77 in.). Radiaon symbol on front label and end panel marks the
center of the detector.
Averaging Periods
Display updates every 3 seconds. At low background levels, the update is the average for the past 30-second
me period. The med period for the average decreases as the radiaon level increases.
Operating Range
mR/hr - .001 (1µR) to 100 CPM - 0 to 350,000
µSv/hr - .01 to 1000 CPS - 0 to 5000
Timed Count (Total/Timer) - 1 to 9,999,000 counts
Accuracy (Cs
137
)
mR/hr ±10% typical (NIST), ±15% max - 0 to 100
µSv/hr ±10% typical (NIST), ±15% max - 01 - 1000
CPM ±10% typical (NIST), ±15% max - 0 to 350,000
Energy Sensitivity
Detects Alpha down to 2 MeV. Detects Beta down to .16 MeV; typical detecon eciency at 1 MeV is
approx. 25%. Detects Gamma down to 10 KeV through the end window. 3340 CPM/mR/hr (Cs
137)
. Smallest
detectable level for I
125
is .02 µCi at contact.
Display
4 digit liquid crystal display with indicators. Display updates every 3 seconds.
Alert Set Range
mR/hr .001 - 50 and CPM 1 - 160,000. 70db @ 1m. Pulsang beeper sounds the alert. Adjustable alert levels
are used for mR/hr / CPM, and µSv/hr / CPS. Alarm will sound when in Timer Mode when set alarm threshold
is reached.
Count Light
Red LED ashes with each radiaon event.
Audio Indicator
Internally mounted beeper (can be switched o for silent operaon)
Outputs
Dual miniature jack drives CMOS or TTL devices and counts to computer or datalogger.
USB for use with Observer USB Soware for PCs
Anti-Saturation
Meter will hold at OVER RANGE in elds as high as 100 mes the maximum reading.
Power Requirements
One 9-volt alkaline baery. Baery life is approx. 2000 hours at normal background.
Temperature Range
-10ºC to 50ºC (14ºF to 122ºF)
Weight
275 grams (9.7 oz.) without baery.
Size
150 x 80 x 30 mm (5.9 x 3.1 x 1.2 in.).
Includes
Carrying Case, Cercaon of Conformance, Observer USB Soware
Limited Warranty
1 year limited warranty.
