Inquire About this Product
The Model 3 General Purpose Survey Meter features a 4-range analog ratemeter and supports GM & Scintillation Type Detectors. Known for its accuracy and long-lasting dependability, it comes in a variety of measurement ranges and units to support the external radiation 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, and a count reset button. A 39" straight type detector cable with "C" style connector is included.
