Model 9 DP1 Pressurized Ion Chamber, Non Hazmat
Provides highly sensitive measurements of exposure and exposure rate
Inquire About this Product
The Model 9DP pressurized ion chamber meter provides highly sensitive measurements of exposure and exposure rate. It can simultaneously display the exposure rate and integrated value or the highest rate seen by the instrument. 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 audio output.
The state-of-the-art technology of the Model 9DP delivers tremendous capability, user friendliness and convenient PC connectivity. The built-in USB port facilitates password-protected access to parameter settings via direct connection to a standard USB keyboard, thus foregoing any need to install PC application software or dealing with operating system compatibility issues.
