Survey Ratemeter Model 3 with a uSV/h Scale
The Model 3 Survey Ratemeter and Model 44-2 Gamma Detector Package includes everything needed to do radiation survey checks of X-ray security scanners. The Model 3 Ratemeter has a uSv/ h scale with a range of 0 to 0.5 uSv/h. The package also includes a cable that connects the Model 3 Ratemeter to the Model 44-2 Gamma Detector, a 1.0 µCi Check Source inside a Check Source Holder mounted on the side of the Ratemeter provides for easy calibration of the Ratemeter and helps prevent losing the Check Source.

This package combines Ludlum's popular Model 3 Analog Ratemeter with a 1" x 1" (2.54 x 2.54 cm) NaI(Tl) gamma scintillator detector, Model 44-2, to create a very sensitive micro-R-meter. The advantage this instrument has over those with the detector housed inside the instrument enclosure is its ability to manipulate the detector into tight or difficult places. It has the additional benefit of keeping the meter conveniently in full view while performing an investigation. 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.
