The PDR-100 is a new analogue, log-scale radiation monitor designed and manufactured in the UK by Southern Scientific.
The PDR-100 is a new analogue, log-scale radiation monitor designed and manufactured in the UK by Southern Scientific. Designed on traditional lines yet incorporating advanced circuitry, the PDR-100 provides quick, accurate and highly cost-effective measurement of ambient gamma dose rate. Programmable microcontrollers provide optimal response in terms of smoothing and decay time plus meter non-linearity correction. The unit also incorporates a unique digital method of overload detection in the event of G-M saturation.
The meter has 240deg movement and the measurement range is 31/2-decade log scale from background to 1mSV/hr.
An audible alarm facility is provided that can be pre-set to any point on the meter scale.
Measuring 245mm x 120mm x 120mm and weighing 1.8kg, the PDR-100 is powered by readily available D-cells and the battery life is between 90 and 150 hours dependent on EHT setting and the type of probe used. This new unit is part of a family of radiation and contamination meters designed and built in the UK by Southern Scientific.
All units are CE marked and comply with EMC and safety legislation.
