Weekly Price: $40Monthly Price: $100- Description
Description
This instrument is a general purpose, digital ratemeter with a built-in scaler that facilitates timed counts over a user specified period. This system will store detector setup information for up to 6 detectors so trained personnel can change detectors in the field. The LCD presents readings in a 4-digit moving decimal format together with one of a wide range of available units of measure and is accompanied by several operational & alert icons. The LCD backlight can be activated and remains lit for a user-adjustable interval. This instrument features adjustable Alert & Alarm setpoints for both the Ratemeter & Scaler modes.
Front panel controls include a rotary switch for selecting between Off, Ratemeter Mode and Scaler Mode, switches for audio on/off and fast/slow response time, plus push buttons for activating the LCD backlight and one for either resetting the counts or acknowledging any alarms. Calibration, user configured alarms, scaler count intervals and detector selection
