Digital Radiation Survey Meter

 
 

Small Digital Ratemeter with built-in 2” diameter pancake tube and speaker. Reads out in mR/hr (or counts per minute). Thin window recessed and protected by sturdy grill. Additionally this meter has a sliding methacrylate beta shield which also acts as additional protection for thin GM tube window. Instrument will see alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Anti saturation circuit will not fall below full scale in high fields. Tested to 100R/h.
