PN: 48-1605 - Model 44-21 Beta-Gamma Detector
PN: 47-1560
The Model 3 is Ludlum’s best selling, general purpose, handheld, analog ratemeter known for 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 a separate battery compartment and 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 one meter (39 in.) straight type detector cable with “C” style connector is included in the price of the instrument.
